Custom Alien Expansion Please

So I was just wondering, while a lot of people are asking for new races for Players and for Officers, can we just get more pieces for custom races?

I'm thinking an expansion of the Alien creation is called for, perhaps bringing in new pieces from aliens we all know and love (like we have for Antarans).

Specifically, I think Zakdorn and Grazerite faces, Efrosian and Grazerite foreheads, and Tiburonian and Atrean ears. And maybe a few new hair and facial hair styles while we're at it. (and since we have Caitians, maybe Aurelians can be possible in the future but I wont press that one too much lol)

Since all that is needed to make these races is simply one or two custom alien pieces I think its more than possible for the Devs to include these pieces in a near future update.

So Devs? What 'ya say? You know you wanna ;)

    I'd personally like to see the first three you mentioned (Zakdorn, Grazerite and Efrosian) as fully playable races, but more options for Custom Aliens is always a good thing :)

    I personally think we have enough for the moment and other areas of the game shold be focused on.

    I'm thinking the developers hints at UGC and more ship/alien variety are coinciding for Season 3. That's my guess.

    Having a broad amount of art assets for a UGC can only make that system better. :)

    Yeah, I second this, though I'm sure Matt has his hands full with stuff. He was toying around with the idea of adding Kzinti to the Klingons at one point, and to do them properly I'm sure he'd had to model them very differently from the Caitians already in there.

    User-Generated Content (i.e. we can create and share missions).

    There have been some big hints that it's slated for Season 3 - and creating our own missions is perhaps the driving factor for getting more ship (and hopefully alien) variety in.
