    I would also love to see Edosians (Lt Arex) after Caitians are added (if they ever are).

    A character with three arms would be pretty hard to integrate into the game. It would be cool, though.

    not to be negative...but just being honest, if Caitian were of any priority at cryptic...it would have
    already been in game by now.

    what someone says is of little importance, what they do or do not...is.

    Yeah I keep joking we'll see them in September. It's starting to not be a joke though...

    So there was a demand for Pakleds and they were a priority then?

    honestly can remember about 3 posters asking for them....usually as a joke.

    someone at cryptic wanted pakleds......the players were not really asking for them here on the forum.

    all things considered, cryptic does what it wants too...even if it is something we don't want.

    typical of a 'nitch' game company

    Hmm.... Well.... Caitians do have a fan following although I'd say there are probly more fans of Klingons and Romulans. Klingons definitely need some more love in this game. I worry about the Caitian design at this time considering the number of pushbacks and that Caitians were talked about being put in the game at the start of STO's release months and months ago. Still.... I'd rather wait if it means doing them right. I imagine that theres going to be quite a vocal response if after all this time they try to push off something really cheesy in the C-store that looks nothing like a Caitian. Will have to wait and see on that. To me this is a test to see if they follow through on what they say in making a new race. If they TRIBBLE up Caitians then I'd say its a safe bet they aren't going to put any effort in new races such as Romulans, Tholians, or anything else and are merely using new races as a gimmick for a C-Store buck.

    you mite be right about Tholians and othere non humans
    if Caitians do well they will make races that take time
    Romulans take no work as there done
    i mite be the only Caitian fan that just want to play

    Wow, you just proved my point better than anything I could have said. I've heard alot of people saying they have stopped playing, but you are literally the first person I have heard say they have quit playing until X species is added. Id really love to understand just why you are so passionate about Caitians, if you would care to explain it.

    I have no idea about pakleds, but to be completely honest it seems there are a handful of die-hard Catian fans that keep pushing this issue. The reason the threads stay around is because the die hard fans keep bumping them, or posting new ones. Thats fine of course; just saying.

    All these 'we want kitties, now! kthxbai!" topics are hilarious, if not ridiculous. As an ironic post in a different topic said "they had one onscreen appearance ever which totally warrants them to be a playable race" as opposed to those that played major roles in entire seasons of star trek series.

    The most fun though is imagining the hell that will break loose once the wookie lovers... err, cat fetis... err walking tribble worship... err ...ahh yeah righ, "loyal kaitian fans", discover that their playable furballs will be c-store only 'items'.

    Think about all the topics along the lines of "omg how dare you!", "this is like THE main race this needs to be free!", "make humans c-store only but caitians free, they are much more essential to the entire star trek universe!", "what the hell, me and all my hundreds of friends/fleet-mates waited ever since pre-beta for kaitians and now we have to pay extra?!" and so on and so forth.

    Disclaimer: I am not mocking kaitian fans per-se, everyone is entitled to love/want to play which ever race they prefer (can't argue with personal taste after all). I am however taking a poke at those trying to make it look like kaitians are to half the player base what the omega particle is to the borg, and I am ridiculing the entire wannabe hype around a race which is, from a star trek canon point of view, entirely irrelevant and insignificant.

    well, only 3 ...didn't know there was so few.

    ok, how about this: when and IF Caitians are put in the store, sit in SOL starbase and count how many
    paklids you see, then how many Caitians you see...hmmm ?

    or you can just go to the starbase now and try to FIND a paklid...they are already available.

    personally...I have seen zero...am sure there are one or two somewhere.

    This is typical of every game company.

    If MMO developers listened to every suggestion and complaint that appeared on their forums, they wouldn't last long.

    I mean, imagine if Blizzard never looked at in game statistics and just went to their class forums for advice on how to balance WoW. What a mess that would be.

    I thought that Pakleds and Ferengi were a joke C-Store item, mostly too. Ferengi only cost 64 C-Points, after all. Which is very "Ferengi" of Cryptic in a funny sort of way.


    Though I think Caitians will be in sometime in the future. There's too big of a demand for them for Cryptic not to add them in as a C-Store race.

    I'm not sure the demand is as "big" as it is "loud". But hey, if some people want them I have no problem with them being added. More money for Cryptic hopefully(key word) means more content for all of us.

    There's been a demand for Caitians since beta. Back then the topics were much...Larger. And louder from what I recall.



    Either way, it couldn't hurt for Cryptic to implement them as a C-Store race sometime in the future. Given the sheer number of times these topics have come up it would probably generate a constant, if not decent stream of revenue for what's basically a DLC option.

    We'll see if they ever do get added, but me, I'm not playing until they do. Oh, I could play my Gorn character, but I've said it 1000 times, the Klingon side of things is so butchered that it's not worth it.

    Just so we're clear...you refuse to play the game NOT because of the gameplay(since you want to play a Fed), but because you cant play as a Fed cat-person?

    Its not necessarily weird. I could easily say I refuse to play until they fix the difficulty slider...but I would be bored if I did. But if it works for you, more power to you :D

    Oh, I got other things to do until they do decide to add them in, and other things to play and do. Personally, if you want to know the truth though, I'd much rather have a Fed Gorn then anything, but that's never going to happen.

    Yeah they kind of let us down by leaving those parts out of the species creator. I guess they had to give people SOME reason to want to play Klingon until they bother to finish them :p

    Yeah, pretty much, but like I said, all I can do is just hope and wait, and hope that this month is the month they finally add a species that I want to play on the Fed side, especially since they have a majority of the content.

    I don't think anyone has posted this anywhere on the forums (or even the internet) but having playable Caitians will allow dozens of people to make...

    does anybody know what happened to the caitians and when they will be release? they were sopose to be released with the 14-19th update according to the calander (prior to t being change,)

    i was so looking forward to them =/
    i even made a pandian (it's a cross between a panda and a catian) drawing for my display picture for the up and coming catian release ^_^ (< points to display picture)(it took me over a month to draw that using photoshop >_< )

    Catians have been extinct for a very long while, sorry to say. I think I blew up their planet in wing commander 3................

    Actually, you ARE mocking Caitian fans by your very post. You even contradicted yourself in the "disclaimer": "I am taking a poke at those..." "I am ridiculing..."

    How many people have demanded that they be put in the game free of charge? There are plenty of us who are willing to pay CP for the chance to play one of our favorite races. They've been featured in the Animated Series as well as small cameos in the movies. They are no more "irrelevant and insignificant" than most of the other races in the game. Sure, they may not be as popular or have as much screen time as humans, Vulcans, and Klingons, but they are still a canon race that have been a member of the Federation since at least Kirk's time.

    If you're really desperate to play a Caitian, you could play a Kerran in EQ2...and pretend you're on a very long mission on a primitive planet called Norrath, and your mission is to immerse yourself in their culture without breaking the Prime Directive and revealing you're really a Starfleet Captain.... :D

    They aren't not the only one. I've done the same. If I played in the mean time I'd be onto my onto my third RA and simply not enough has been added to face going through it all again, knowing I'd have to do it yet again for the Caitain.

    Actually, I've done come to the conclusion that the people who consider Caitians = Cat Girls are just idiots, and here we have two of them in this thread.

    You only say that because it's actually true and you're trying to deny the scrutiny and thus deny your inner shame at being a closet furry.
