Idea: Character Race as costume unlock.

Once you've created a character you cannot change the race (.e.g. klingon, trill, orion, liberated borg) since that is hardcoded into the database.

Would it not be possible that once you purchased a race (e.g. Cardassian) you can use that race as a costume option for an existing character?
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Not all outfit options are set up to be worn by all races. Or at least that is my understanding. That would present an obstacle to allowing you to cosmetically change a given captain's race -- what about the costume pieces that aren't wearable by the cosmetic race?

    I suppose they would be greyed out for the time being, but ideally we want all options for all races (one can dream right..)
    As with everything the devil is in the details, but i think to many players the costume option would be preferable to creating a new character and leveling/equipping it.

    Drawback is that the costume does not give access to specific character traits.
    E.g. let's say i have a human character with the costume of a caitan, that character could not jump as high as a caitan character.
