    I don't have ideas for species specific emotes.

    But I do have an idea for a new emote - a few "music-playing" emotes. Now (well, hopefully next week) that we have ship interiors, it might be time to look at new "social stuff" to do, and playing instruments and giving concerts - like it was done on TNG. :)

    We need the SPock eyebrow raise.

    Now that we have interiors coming we need emotes to go along with them, ie:

    Work a console and a large blue electric arc zapps you and knocks you down to smolder for a bit for engineering.

    Eating a bowl of live worms whole seated for the DFac, you know the one from the shows with the head tilted back and a large handfull of squirmy crawlies are hoisted high to be dropped into your gaping maw.

    Playing poker while seated for the lounge, we need dealer, player, and antieing up emotes. (a poker player set for the C-store).

    Laying on a gurney while covered in disruptor burns for sick bay.

    Transforming into yourself at age +120 years - they did this in too many episodes to be ignored, just speed the process up so it happens before your eyes.

    Sleeping at ones desk in the captains ready room complete with snooring sound effects. (What I'd be doing at work on a long voyage if I had a lounge with a securable door!)

    Arm faliling hissy-fit for female doctors to use on the bridge (In fairness we need it for males and unclassifyable aliens too).

    "Wall leaning" stolen from CoX for security guards to use in the brig when no officers are present.

    Shackles for prisoners.

    The Fed standard drop weapons to the ground for their frequent surrenders.

    and just for fun - the chest poke! - for chewing folks out! (Index finger extended and whole arm jabbed at chest level repeatedly using major muscle groups, not a weak wristed attempt at a good poke)

    The list could be endless

    This is a silly one to say the least, but as it's quite obvious from my sig I'm a fan of The Tick and I would love a Spoon emote. Full with waving the spoon in front of someones face.

    How about an emote that when you click it, your avatar gets showered in hundred dollar bills, until your avatar is 1/2 way buried in the pile of money. Your avatar then picks up the money, flinging it in the air, while yelling happily "C-STORE!!!!!"

    The emote would be called Cryptic. It will be exclusive to the C-Store.

    :p

    One of the astoundingly sad things is that we still dont have console typing emotes. The animations are already in game, if I could use them I could look as if im using a console on someone elses bridge or my own bridge. I have been asking for this for months but they either ignore it, are too lazy or havent noticed.

    we have a lot of sit-emotes, but no "lay down" emote... I wanted to test out the bio-beds in my new sickbay (on tribble) and the best thing i could do was a "sit - lounge". Please give the hard working captains a break, killing Borg makess you sleepy :D

    I have to admit, when the OP mentioned Caitians and asked for emotes I looked over at my (real) cat and she had one leg pointed straight up in the air and was licking herself in the bad places, and I thought *showoff* but also that that would be popular. ;)

    I think there are a number of obvious emotes we're missing, and second the calls for 'eyebrow raise' and 'lie down', but here's one

    'typing on keyboard'. Yeah, I know we do that already, but you can't start it yourself in an emote, I'd like to see that.

    *use wall console*

    *more Dabo emotes*

    *Coffee* - take a sip of coffee/tea out of a mug

    and in honor of my fav Capt.
    *Baseball* - works baseball around in hands, maybe tossing in the air.

    Omg I have the Best idea for this..

    Ok this might be hard to figure out how to do...but have an emote where you and another person do the same emote and you

    like holding hands and skipping down the halls
    flying hug!
    Hi five
    handshake
    rock paper scissors
    sipping a drink, not just the toast emote, but just sipping it...

    Be able to combine emotes, like sit down and make a toast or sit down and wave to someone

    like holding hands and skipping down the halls ....LOL:D You do have a great point though,it would be great to have emotes that let you physically interact with other toons.

    The idea with skipping and holding hands has came from RL experience and laughing really hard at seeing them skip like that so funny to see them do that (yes it was 2 girls)

    /emote <text>
    there the text part showing up in local chat

    How about the "I just ate a bad burrito" stomach cramp-emote where your toon grabs his abdomen and takes off for the nearest bathroom... or airlock...

    What about a 'resistance is futile' emote for when you have the upper hand and a 'OH,TRIBBLE! ' emote for when you're outnumbered,like 10 to 1:D

    I did not read the entire thread, so maybe it was already suggested, but I would like to see an emote for polite applause.
