Which species not yet featured would players like to see in STO. For me there are three. Kazon, Vidian and Talaxian.

I think with some reworking, like Cryptic did with the Gorn, those three could look cool and intimidating.
yep I totally agree
All of those would require extensive Delta Quadrant maps (and some way to explain how we are regularly going distances that would typically take a hundred years or so).
Not really. In the Star Trek universe anything could be possible. Stable worm hole. Sub space time shift maybe. But it was only a hypothetical question as there is still so much of Star Trek the game has to explore.
Yep one to scratch the right ear, one to scratch the left ear and one to scratch the final frontier.
Sorry couldn't help that one. Yep I know lame.
Ok agreed on the Kazon
Vidian who's to say the phage isn't permanently cured - anything is possible in Star Trek now matter how far fetched it may seem
Talaxians just cos I liked Neelix
But I like the idea of The Voth
I would love to see Kriosians (could be in both factions) and their battle cruisers. Heck in the best case we could get their planet as a persistent PvP warzone.
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
how would the Kriosians be any different from the (DS9) Trill?
I mean the Trill we've seen after Odan were based on the Kriosians from TNG...
A Spatial anomaly to a new frontier (what Star Trek is mostly about) with new problems.
People could use a little bit of originality and not relying on the roads that Star Trek carved trough the years.
Still, if we must stop dreaming and return to reality, with the new Sovie with the canisters and stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the SoNa. Also the Tzenkethi may offer a nice plot (Since there has been a war with the federation at one point).
Because they provide a common frame of reference for this discussion.
Anything that goes beyond that is
a.) covered by the Alien option
b.) fan-fiction
c.) more suitable for Ten Forward IMO
oh, I'd like to add TOS-stlye Augmented Klingons
and when you kill like a klingin you can take their arms
so when you are doing misions or whatever you could have an androiuan head, klingoin arms, vulcan ears and a human face thing
actually it would be good with ships too
you could have a real hybriud
the face rip offer raqce- that's my vote
Kriosians have less spots in a different pattern (they stop around chin height instead of going "all the way down"). They would have different traits and they have a nice ship that Cryptic probably wouldn't have to put in a lock box since the planet was conquered by the Klingons and would love to join the Federation.

Isn't there a single, TOS-style augment, VR-Doff?
You're right about the pattern.
Thanks I didn't notice that.
Well, the Kriosians from "The Mind's Eye" are listed by Memory Alpha as the same species as the ones from "The Perfect Mate and "Precious Cargo" but it's actually impossible for them the be the same species since they have such a totally incompatible histoy.
How can a world that is under the rule of the Klingons be at war with another world?
It makes absolutely no sense.
Even the offical Startrek.com entry for them indicates they are not the same species.
http://www.startrek.com/database_article/kriosians
"This race should not be confused with another group of Kriosians, who were fighting for independence as a Klingon colony in 2367."
Not necessarily. We already have a Delta Quadrant species running around, the Hirogen. We know Sela gave them permission to hunt in Romulan space (which occupies areas in both the Alpha and Beta Quadrants), but we don't know how they got there.
Hm, I didn't know about startrek.com. I simply assumed that since the Klingons probably won't interfere too much with their subjugated worlds as long as they pay tribute and would have stripped down their military they wouldn't have considered it a war but some kind of petty squabble they could solve among themselves.

All five Xindi Races as playable species (sadly, the 6th is dead):
- Xindi Arboreal
- Xindi Aquarianer
- Xindi Humanoide
- Xindi Insektoide
- Xindi Reptilianer
And also:
(some or many of them may look like humans, but I think that also many roleplayers would like to try a new species)
- Ekosian / Zeon
- Acamarian
- Akaali
- Alcyone
- Aldeaner
- that species where the women are taller than the men
- Angosian (but maybe not as elite soldier)
- Antaran (the species which had wars with the Denobulans)
- Antican (those ... dog-things who ate the Selay ^^)
- Antos
- Arbazaner
- Ardanan
- Argelian
- Argosian (an argosian Lt once threw a drink at Benjamin Sisko)
- Argrathi (they are from the Gamma Quadrant)
- Arkenite (they don't look like humans, more like an selfmade alien, so .. why not?)
- Atreans
- Axanar
- Ba'ku
- Bandi
- Brekkian
- El-Aurian
- Lurian (like Morn from DS9)
- Risian
- Selay
- Minaran / Vians
There are very many other species but I am too lazy to list them now.
This is maybe too much and will never ever happen in STO but we will maybe see a few of them.
Note to self. During downtime don't swallow a Star Trek Encyclopedia (just kidding) it's great that all of these may prompt Cryptic to introduce more and more new content further down the line. A new batch of episodes maybe
Species 8472? They're the Undine, in this game.
They have two arms and three legs. I think he meant the Edosians, which have three of each limb.
The Hirogen get the pass because it's revealed in their racial background that they,ve been wandering around the Delta and the edges of the Beta Quadrant for over 20,000 years. It only makes sense that they eventually found their way closer to the alpha quadrant.
That said though, over in Pi Canus, there is a diplomatic mission to recieve Ocampan dignitaries, which is by far the wierdest part to make sense of.
There are numerous Diplomatic First Contact missions with Randomly_Generate_Alien_Species # 637 over in the nebulas in Iota Pavonis, Alpha Centauri, and Psi Velorum who often claim how they traveled for many years across many lightyears just searching for a new home, because they were most often kicked out of their homeworld by the highly xenophobic Devore Empire, the very same race who kept searching Voyager for Telepaths in the episode "Counterpoint".
Those races do have wormholes as an opyion of getting across the Galaxy. Even if the Kazon found one, they'd be too busy fighting each other for control of the wormhole to establish a threatening presence in the Alpha Quadrant.

I mean, if your going to avoid ground combat, in a PvP sense, it is pointless to take any of the ground abilities, and along those same lines, i would say 80% of the content is space based, and they only have maybe 10 space based skills, with the rest being ground.
So adding in some kind of option for ground or space encounter, when exploring the clusters would be a GREAT start.
sorry got a little off topic, but overall aside from MAJOR cosmetic changes like adding a 3rd arm, or a 2nd head, you can make some pretty unique character designs. a better color pallet or more options would be awesome.
ETA: Also, Binars!
"Image hosted by Tripod." :P
Kazon: With their completely de-centralized, completely renegade society I think they would be very interesting.
Vidiian: I've been dying to get closure on what happened to them after George Costanza cured the phage
Talaxians: meh.. they're.. people I guess.
Voth: Hell yea
Vaadwaur: yep
Ocompa [Added] - Be cool to actually have an Ocompan BOFF for their telekenetic abilities.
Voth
Xindi
I doubt either ever becomes playable, but content involving them or BOs for them would be pretty crazy.
