Before i start this, let me say a couple thing in regard to this post and why im making it.
1) Mind the spelling and grammar.
2) The reason for this post is the reason ((really one of many) i love Star Trek; Culture Diversity
3) Im sorry if many posted this, i havnt checked every thread.
I see alot of people talking about exploration, and im with you. Why not open many more planets for just looking around? I think thats incomplete to character development. I have one idea (really that sprout to many) about exploration with character development.
Why not have planet specific missions that revolve in the system or planet you are on, that is for the personal character. Such as "spiritual studies", exploring planetary problems such as rebellions ECT, you get the point. Some of this could lead to planetary factions, much like pvp and gaining items with badges. It would be a good way to buy things like the ice-picks used in Ushaan, or any other species specific weaponry/armor/clothing. While my idea may not be complete, or even favored, i was wonder what others might think of this.
Not to mention maybe gaining specific traits, like a flurry with said ice-picks, or some Vulcan meditation that grants a bonus to health regeneration or poision/damage resistance.
I love the fact we can make our own race but it is always refered to as alien. I think it would be cool if they let us build our alien create its backstory and submit it to be added as a standard race. They dont have to add it to the char builder as a choice for everyone but just change the race from alien to "add race name"/alien to the players info. To me that alone would make me feel proud of the race i created. They could even hold a alien building contest the winner or winners having their alien added as a playable race.
I see ingame many well put together and thought out aliens but when i click on their info they dont take the time to tell us what they are. Not that they have to or anything but if i make something unique like that i always give info on it.
My alien is from a race i named Gulmeki. They were discovered not long after the dominion war ended and exploration of the gama quadrent resumed. News of the Dominions defeat against the alpha quadrent aliences spread across the gama quadrent like wild fire. Races like the Gulmeki who have been fending off the dominion for centuries. They ventured out in search of the federation or anyone from the alpha quadrent. They made First contact with a Federation science vessel and befor they knew it they were one of the first in the gama quadrent to join the federation.
BAH i could write a whole book on just these people and how they became federation citizens. i did shorten it up a bit but you get the point
