    I tried my hand at a Picard duplicate for sake of Captain Picard Day and I think I have a decent mock up there.

    I do, however, have a couple of Kirk toons, but those aren't based off of TOS in any way outside of uniforms I have on one of them. I only roll with Kirk on their names where I tend to base my character and BO names off of people I know

    Meh, I use a standard Trill, but in her biography (which is in my head at the moment), she's Joined anyway. I don't really see any reason to pay the 600 zen to get the Joined Trill.

    If you ever make those toons could you post me some screenshots?

    I have seen decent Picard clones, Enterprise clones and even a very, very nice Data clone but not a convincing clone of the DS9 cast yet.

    To be clear on this, no you can't play an android but you CAN make a 'humanoid alien' that looks exactly like him, down to that strangely shiny skin tone.

    The dear Constable would be a bit more challenging because his face has like... no detail. Lol.

    Jadzia would require you to purchase the Joined Trill playable character type.

    And while we're at it how about a big lovable Ben Sisko clone :D

    Ps. you may not be able to name them exactly as they are due to aforesaid copyright and name censors but you can name them -similarly-.

    Just be warned there are lots and lots of Daxes out there, both male and female LOL

    It's the exclusive trait JTs get.

    A cheap way to get it though is to buy a DDE (still available on Best Buy's web site for $15 as of last week). You get DDE goodies plus a month of gold time and stipend as long as you don't have a DDE already on your account (which you don't since you said that about JTs :) )

    Exactly what carmenara said. In the roleplaying of my character, my main was gifted an android AI chip from Soong. They've been best friends ever since. So, since I'm not a 700 day vet, I made an alien humanoid, tried to make him look like an android, and it was very fun. I got pretty close, except for a few things, but, I encourage trying it out.

    P.S. It's also pretty cool to have a humanoid alien, because, you can change what he looks like anytime you want. Say, one day, you don't like the look of your alien, you could change him to look like something else the next day. :D

    I don't even remember what the trait was, but it must be something I'm not interested in having. :P

    I'm not interested in going gold right now, but I might consider it in the future. Maybe. If they ever add some more content beyond the fleet stuff. I do use the dilithium exchange to get zen, but right now I'm saving up for a ship, lol.

    Understand that. But if you are ever going to level a new character, that would be the time to do the DDE suggestion too. Then you get the bank slots, inventory slots, and all the other stuff. :D

    Welcome to the game and the forums stodatapiocard. The reason they won't allow an actor likeness is because they tend to sue video game companies for intellectual property rights. You can call a character Picard or Data but you cannot make him look like the actor. You can call your character Lady Gaga you still can't make it look like her.

    My mom plays this game and on her Federation Captain, one of the bridge officers is Invader Zim and looks much like the cartoon character. She can do this because; Zim was a cartoon and not an real actor.

    Personally I think you will have fun making up your own unique characters and not duplicating someone else.

    See you around.

    Androids are easy to make.
    It's not too hard to make a changeling, smaller eyes, no eyebrows and heroic complexion adds the depth to the face, then smooth ears and receding hair. It probably won't be an Odo clone exactly but it'll be passable.

    Why make clones of existing characters? Be more interesting and weave your own tales.

    I think that for some new players with no Star Trek RP or SIMM interests, playing an initial role in the likeness of their favourite characters can be a good starting point to "being their own Captain".

    While the RPers I've met so far only copy the personality and the decision-making styles in their fanfics, there are also non-RPers who just love making their entire arsenal of alts resemble characters from the shows, for their own amusement.

    It takes a lot of time to get their likeness perfectly right and the end results are worth showcasing to friends.

    For several Fleets I've been in, it was a good ice-breaking activity to review movie character clones and see how close the toon's owner got to the actors' on-screen appearance.

    It's also a 'sport' anyone can participate in, requiring no c-store purchase or special uniforms as the facial and physical appearance, not the uniform, are the main judging criteria.

    On that note I won't mind rerolling a couple of characters and make them in the likeness of Gul Dukat's daughter and Weyoun the Vorta.

    Playing Weyoun would be so much fun as his job is basically fawning for attention from Founders and entertaining Legate Damar :D

    ^ Hmm, fair enough. In most other games, I roll my eyes when I see people name their characters TRIBBLE they didn't come up with on their own, but in this game, I suppose it's a little bit more respectable due to the high degree of customization available. A day or so ago, I saw some guy with a dragonball z name and started to smirk until I looked more closely--he had pulled off the character look surprisingly well.
