Denobulan character/badge/ship

For some time now, I have felt the absence of the Denobulans in STO. Phlox remains one of the few non-human main characters from a Star Trek series not to be represented as playable in game; even the Talaxians are represented. The third playable Ferengi ship is being released, and we are getting a wonderful collection of badges for FCD. Thank you Cryptic for all these great items. But, I can't help but notice that the Denobulans have not been included again.

Irishhawkdrake posted his thread recently suggesting a hospital ship in honor of the USNS Comfort. I think this is a great idea! And, I think it would be a great opportunity to finally include playable Denobulans with a hospital ship of theirs.

    Denobulans can be almost 100% made from scratch using an alien race character. I believe that all the necessary parts ara available. Which means you can also have alien boffs that look exactly like Denobulans.

    The outfit part is easy since you can use multiple parts to create civilian look like what Phlox had. As far as the ship goes, that's a bit harder. I'd suggest something that looks like a freighter. Personally I'd go with the Tellarite ship and maybe use the Ferengi vanity shield or some other similar looking vanity shield.

    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Still, if most of the features are available via alien customization, it would make sense that making Denobulans a playable race would be easier than building one from scratch. And we don't have corresponding symbols, badges, or a ship. My feeling is, if the Benzites are worthy of a playable character and a new badge, then the Denobulans certainly are.

    Take the Federation medical ship from Discovery and make a medical frigate that is what cryptic should do

    I also miss Grazerites. The UFP's president in DS9 was one, yet we can't have them even as DOFF cards.​​
