So, in the future, people don't have curly hair?

Cryptic is generally pretty well known for their character creator (if you guys played CO you know what I mean), but honestly the one in STO is kind of lacking a lot of features and has remained so for a very long time.

Case in point without looking very far was the fact that there was only one long hair option for women. Granted, there's a dress code thing one has to keep in mind, but with the rise of the uniform code and tatooing and what not, you'd think they'd thrown that out.

Now sure, 2 more longhair styles have been added sense then, but that's not saying much. There's quite literally countless hairstyles that COULD exist but simply DON'T exist in the game, just as there are off duty clothing pieces.

But one thing that really bothers me is the lack of curly or wavy hair, for either the guys or gals. Or freckles for that matter! Its bad enough the game went on for weeks without "asians" available, but do we have something against the freckled versions of us too? or the mop tops? Surely not!

So where are they?

    I'd also like to bring up the problem of my character not having a shave since he was created.

    All the curly haired people in the entirety of starfleet happened to be at a curly haired people convention on the vega colony when the game started.

    Unfortunately, as we all saw in the tutorial ... the Borg came back. To the Vega colony.

    The good news is ... Curly hair was easily assimilated by the borg and they kind of dig it. So much so that when you get to the B'Tran cluster of missions you find out that the Borg have had to supply weapons to some rebels in some outlying colonies so they can get enough latinum for better hair care products that don't assimilate too well.

    Yes, same here. He looks like he woke up in a bar. Every morning.

    yeah, alex. just because you have a gtx480 doesn't mean everyone has it too. it would be cool, but i wouldnt be fair to these who run low performance systems. i doubt even my comp could stand that.

    Before I start thinking about animated hair... I'd rather get some hairstyles that show forehead details, more slick back/recending, better long hair for male (keyword: Klingon, Nausicaan) and some real alien hairstyles. Like the fancy styles female Cardassians had, for example. Long styles that leave ears and foreheads visible, not just ponytails. There are probably about 1073 things I can think of that I want more than animated hair. But then, I have an affinity for hairless species... guess why? Yeah, we need more hairstyles. :cool:

    Modern science linked the existance of curly hair to insanity, so therefore it was slowly removed from the genepool. Evidently the crazyness starts real deep within a persons psyche and twists its way out slowly throught he scalp causing ones hair to curl.:p
