I've been playing a 'Cardassian' (ok, 'Alien' using the Cardassian parts - you know the deal...) for some time, now, and something's been bothering me about him, but I could never really pin it down.
Until now. He's wearing makeup.
Seriously - he's got a ton of black eye makeup that makes him look like some kind of Goth panda, and it's really odd. Compare a STO Cardassian to any Cardassian from the shows, and you'll see what I mean.
Lt. Commander Malor, my Cardassian CO:

Elim Garak (played magnificently by Andrew Robinson - the 'Scorpio Killer' from
'Dirty Harry'!)

See what I mean? Hopefully this can be sorted in time for Season 3, if not an earlier patch - it's not a game-breaker by any means, but it's certainly not right, is it?
Comments
Just opened up the texture and greatly reduced the shadowing around the eye socket.
I'm pretty sure it won't be in the next patch, but will probably go out with Season 2.1
Cheers,
Matt
(Must admit, I'm on something of a 'Cardassian Kick' at the moment, since I'm currently re-watching the entire Dominion War segment of DS9 - heady stuff, indeed!)
now, since i have buttered you up, how about that Romulan/Reman Faction....

I'm with him.
The spoon on the forehead needs to look more like a spoon, it sound stick out when viewed from the side. So should the ridges on the forehead. And the nose option should be more defined, stick out more and have details beneath the nose itself. IMO the current options seem rushed, made worse by the lack of a neck width slider. I hate the bulk slider cause it makes the neck look too thick from a side view, and not wide.
