I keep trying to create an Orion gal but after I hit "Submit Application" it says "character creation failed" and boots me back to the login screen. I was able to successfully able to create an Orion female before the Season 2 patch and had this same problem on Tribble so it looks like the error transferred over too. I tried using non-Orion clothing only thinking the problem might be related but no dice.
I haven't tried to make any new characters for months until today, and this happens to me as well. 3 Character slots left, Klingons unlocked. Tried Orion female, then Klingon and Fed Alien. No dice. It's awesome. Seems in my case to be tied to saved cosmetic customizations, as entirely new characters created with "Random" options work as usual. Most of my searching here just gives me "it's beta, stupid, of course there are problems, you noob, go back to WOW."
Reported the bug. Loaded all my older saved character designs and tried them one at a time until I got one that worked. The differences between the ones that didn't and the one that did below.
Worked: Leg length at half, uniform trim colors set to grey
Didn't work: Leg length at 0, uniform trim colors blue or white.
I hate fiinding a post from someone with the same problem from a year ago and no resolution listed, so I'm adding this for posterity.
