Would you buy an Alien Part Pack?

This was brought up in another thread, but it kinda got overlooked.

The question is, if Cryptic released a Hairstyle / Alien Part Pack would you pay for it?

What kind of hairstyles and alien parts would you like to see?

    "New hair tech" was being touted for quite a while back before Dan left. I was intrigued by the idea, because the hair styles and current tech are a bit of a let down.

    Certainly more hair styles would be good. I might pay for them, but only if they were of a sufficient quality.

    Alien parts? Nope. :P

    Honestly... an alien parts pack sounds like it would only benefit my alien characters and there's too much incentive to be alien over canon species as is.

    Hairstyles, age, head types, complexions, YES! I'd buy these and at a premium since they'd benefit both factions and most species.

    That's what I was thinking. Selling just an alien parts pack would be a hard sell to most players, but maybe a "Features" pack, that has new hairstyles, complexions, tattoos, hair styles, facial hair.

    Regardless I would buy it, but I definitely think an alien parts only pack wouldn't sell that well.

    The other concern of course, is would players feel they were being cheated by these items not being released for free?

    Something like a new resources pack for tailor, with a new collection of tatoos, scars, hairstyles, accesories like third eyes, horns, bionic arms and bionic hands (nothing like borgs) and other things can be nice.

    But have to be unlocked for all factions. If only unlock for Fed faction, this can be ridiculous :P

    I'd love to see a parts pack that includes the items/options needed to make an insect based character, or maybe a naga style character, or a kitsune, or maybe something like a third leg and transparant skin. Add all the stuff needed to do these setups and I'd pay upwards of 1000zen for it.

    If I could mix Borg parts with other species I definitely would. Could finally make a Liberated Borg that wasn't human or Klingon for once.

    I would like Caitan skin I already paid for to be included in the alien creator.

    I would love more hairstyle options in truth for basic humanoids.

    But a features and alien parts pack....Hell Yes. If Cryptic does it, I'd appreciate it if they would ask us what we want, I have a specific hairstyle for one of my toons that I'd like. Nothing outlandish, but a more modern lady's hairstyle.

    While we're on the subject, how about more variations of body types. My mother and a female friend of mine looked at the TRIBBLE on some of the characters while I was playing and they were suitably...confused. (Actually the response was more of a what the hell?) Some more natural shapes would be welcomed...but one step at a time I understand.

    I agree the female TRIBBLE look unnatural and I think that an option to have flat chested aliens would be good as not all aliens are mammals. I would totally love an alien parts pack since creating new aliens is half the fun I have with this game and more hair options are a must especially hairy faces and bodies like some of the apelike aliens.

    IDK it seems that cryptic has hit a wall and is afraid to release new content to theZ-Store as there are so many ways to get free Z-Points. So imho I'd say that the Z-Store is very low on the list of priorities like under the next Lobi/Lockbox update....


    * Yes I would buy it as I would also want some of the many other packs they could release but havent

    There are no ways to get free z. There are only ways to get somebody elso buy z for you. Every z spent on the cstore is a z that PWE/Cryptic got paid for, be it by a direct customer, a stipend for a subscriber, or a marketing company offering z for scams... I mean, surveys.... Z obtained by trading dilithium for z originated all from one of those sources.

    And, like many people - I might not get an Alien pack, but I would absolutely buy a HAIRSTYLE pack!

    Yes, if only for some proper Cardie wide neck ridges and elegant, high hairline up-do hairstyles for females. The only ones available so far are the klingon dreads and the 'slicked backs'. :/

    To be used with Alien characters only, not likely.
    To be used by all races, most likely.
