Least played race?

So what do you believe is the least played race/species in STO on the Federation side? Just curious.

In my opinion its either Saurian or Benzite. What do you thing?

    Ferengi.

    In all the time ive played STO since launch, ive only ever seen 2 ferengi.

    Ive seen a few saurians and benzites, but they are the next least common. Most folks gravitate towards the more human-like races, somewhat understandable.

    With the exception of caitians....ahem....

    I have a Benzite alt and play it often; and generally see other Benzites around. I don't see many Pakleds around the social areas, though. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a Saurian being played. My vote would be for Saurian - especially since it's one of the free races.

    Don't know about the Federation side (don't usually pay attention), but on the Klingon side, the Letheans seem to be non-existent. There may be some Lethean characters out there, but they seem to be so rare as to be non-existent. Nausicaans and Gorn seem to represent a close second, though I've definately seen more Gorn than Nausicaans or Letheans. The Klingons and Orions are definately there in force, along with any variety of alien creations.

    Interesting. I've only seen one bolian so far. No benzites and no saurians. I have seen a few ferengi here and there.

    I have a Bolian and a Benzite myself and have seen quite a few Saurians.

    However, Pakleds, Rigelians and Tellarites seem to be seldom, at least to me.

    There are quite a few "human" races that just looking at them it's near impossible to tell them apart. Pakled and Benzite are very rare player races as is Telerite. Ferangi are more common. By far hands down the most played race is Alien! But then again if you really look at it each player who makes an alien creates their own unique race many times so Alien could also be the least played race....from a certain point of view.

    With the Klingons, the most rare has to be the Lethians. I only encountered two since STO launched. And Nausciaans are a close second.

    Federation, I think I saw one Bensite and like three Bolians.


    Pretty much the majority of players play Liberated Borg, Joined Trill, or Aliens for the space stats. And during the Ground Revamp, alien traits should be among this, to encourage others to play other races.

    Not seen Many Tellarites.

    I try and make each character I play a different race, so its interesting to play each time. But I have gone with rather human-esque ones each time it seems.

    I have: 2 Humans, Liberated Borg, Trill, Catian and an Alien (Klingon-Human)

    Gorn.


    But on the fed side, I'm inclined to go with Saurian or Pakled - but out of the base races Saurian. I'd be interested to know about Betazoids too, hard to tell!

    I'd play a Tellarite if they were more accurate to the series. They're too short in the game and seem more like cheap dwarf copies. Tellarites in the series were much taller: 5-5.5 feet.

    You have to make them from the alien base as they're not a purchasable species.

    I wonder if these races are the "least" played because of their looks or because of their trait selection?

    Klingon. I mean the actual species. The KDF seems to be made up mostly of Gorn and Orion females that I have seen. With a side of weird giant headed aliens.

    Figure in again, a lot of those Klingons you see running around, are either Aliens made to look Klingon, or liberated borg.

    In my personal experience, it would have to be Pakled.

    I made a Pakled captain for the hell of it (See avatar), but I deleted it shortly afterwards thinking "Why?" :p

    My Engineer is a Benzite, and I've seen quite a few around, as well as Ferengi (Other Engineer is a Ferengi as well)

    I'm going to say Pakled as well...

    In fact, I think I might be the only person who has a Pakled VA/Ambassador :p
