Evening all!
Whist we're still waiting for the servers to rise from the dead like a glorious phoenix I thought I'd create this thread in which we can discuss why whe chose which race/traits we did, and if we plan to make a difference "main" character when the retail keys arrive, why the Joined Trill are worth the wait.
I'll start off. My other half kicked me off the PC and made my current character. A female Betazoid science officer. I can't remeber the traits she chose either. However, I will be making a Joined Trill when the retail key arrives. Mainly for the nice trait but also becuase I have a cunning RP idea behind it.
Your turns

Can you imagine what she could do with her antennai
I like the Engineer's abilities, I love Andorians... especially in the Enterprise series, and I can't wait to get my Galaxy-class.
The reason i selected their race is because they are logical and analytical and it would be a nice alternative in a universe filled with pointy eared Vulcans. Plus, i like catfish.
Couldn't figure out how to do a Tamarian...
...so i chose to do something non-standard but recognizable.
And if I may say so myself... it turned out fantastic.
My solo char is a Human Tac - a newly fledged Lt who can trace his bloodline back to the Mongol hordes.
Why I picked those...I can't help it, I'm a roleplayer at heart. Partway through creating them, it suddenly hit me exactly what their stories were.
I know there's a lot of beneficial space traits but I couldn't make a Vulcan without nerve pinch and mind meld.

Both of these reasons for me also. Can't pass up Efficiency paired with Warp Core Theory and Techie.... my alien guy turned out pretty well too.
Jeesh. I've teamed with you and I didn't even catch the bloody references <LOL>.
Human male. Because I'm, uh, a human male. And um, that's all I know how to be. And he has a ponytail because I miss having one of those. Least I kept my beard.
I just like the stats of the Liberated Borg and the Joined Trill...simple really.
This made the downtime worth it! Catfish!
Woa, that's very cool.
