So...I dunno if it is meant to be this way, but...I made a Reman female (had no male option).
I also bought the big legacy pack earlier, so that might have something to do with this. Or not, I dunno.
Regardless of if this is a bug or not, I made a Reman. So far...seems pretty good. I'd say that all in all, these are pretty good. The female skins seem kinda bright for a people with 'grey, mottled skin' though.
Mind Drain is interesting, and seems to basically make Remans the Romulan equal to a Lethean toon. I'm glad that Mind Drain doesn't expose or exploit the enemy, which would make it rather ridiculous because it would do more damage AND heal you.

I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.pwlaughingtrendy wrote:I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.

I have to agree, I'm hoping not all the options are in yet because it seems we technically aren't supposed to be able to do this according to the patch notes. So, I hope that when the full thing is released we'll be able to have a more ashen skin color in addition to more leeway on how we want our face and overall appearance to look.

This should be avoided, because it will cause the sun to plummet towards the Earth.
Further, character creation will fail and the player will be booted to the login screen."

Bottom of zer0niusrex's first post.
While some can make Reman's, it's not intentional most likely. I suspect there will be more options in the near future for those of us who wish to make Remans.
Let us remain patient as well as excited.
Oh well, I've seen no other bugs regarding the Remans so far. So there's some good news at least.
If it was that way they wouldn't put pictures of it in a devblog and on facebook. And yeah, Veril looks more Reman, I've been preaching that since the second day of closed beta, but got barely any reaction.
Probably not, Veril is dismissable so her story involvement ends the moment she joins you.

The thing is Veril really doesn't look more Reman, the playable female does. She may be more attractive than the playable female but after looking over screencaps of Reman from the movies the ones in game aren't accurate. That may be why the male models are getting a revamp.
It's possible, but, to be honest I don't see any real reason to lock out any particular kind of look since both appear to be represented in the game and it's what we're used to seeing. I'm sure some players will want the newer Reman designs and some will want the older ones. The game being what it is with customization such a big part I don't see any reason not to offer us both.
It's about having a certain level of polish. The team can settle for an innacurate less polished model or go with a more accurate version. Most games that do model changes do it across the board. It's not the first time STO does this, they did it before with Gorn. The difference being if you wanted to keep the old outdated model you could, you would just never be able to customize that character again because once you did the model would update.
In this case, since Reman are not yet playable I doubt players will be able to keep the old model if they do indeed upgrade as the blog suggests.
They didn't say that the male models are getting a revamp. They say that they already did:
"Out with the old and in with the new! We completely rebuilt our Reman head sculpts for the playable species."
Unless I slept through school, university and the internet is wrong that's a past form. Wouldn't really make sense to show screenshots of the old version then. And while we can argue about how canon Reman noses are Veril at least gets the skin pattern right (well, aside from the middle of the face, but at least she has it).

One thing that's clear is that school, university and the internet taught you sarcasm.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe they rebuilt the male Reman model but it's not quite finished yet? Much like some of the new uniforms are made but not quite finished. Perhaps instead of showing a model that isn't quite ready they chose to use an out of date model that is at least presentable.
Did it occur to you that just maybe they are waiting for launch to do the big reveal of the new Reman model? When they revamped the Gorn they were very secretive about what the final product would look like. All we ever really got were blurry images and teasers until the release.
As for the the skin pattern it's kind of hard for them to show us ALL the female skin pattern options of a new species in a screenshot with just ONE character. Having seen the unintended released Reman female on the character creator I saw that they do indeed have several pattern options available.
Nope, that was just life.
Did it ever occur to you that they didn't make a devblog claiming they changed the Gorn appearance with pictures before they actually did it? Did it ever occur to you that they could have simply meant that they made the Reman ready for being customized by players? (Since they almost all looked the same aside from Slamek and Obisek before just like the Jem'hadar).
Did it ever occur to you that there are female Reman boffs on Tribble that you can customize yourself and that don't have any kind of skin pattern beside the "shadows around the eyes" makeup options?

We know for a FACT Reman are not finished. The unlock on tribble was unintended and we were warned to not make one because it would cause problems. They are glitchy and bugged and not all the options have been made available yet. Furthermore when Gorn were revamped they didn't have Dev blogs. Devblogs were added after the summer of 2011 The Gorn revamp happened in 2010. Hence why they didn't make a dev blog claiming they changed the Gorn appearance with pictures before they actually did it. They DID however post teaser pictures of the incomplete Gorn on twitter and on the forums from time to time.
Yes, they showed us unfinished pictures. They didn't show us pictures of the old ones and said that they had redone the head geometry. And yes, the latest hookup to Tribble was completely unintended and female only, which doesn't mean anything since they are supposed to be unlocked by the rep system or C-Store, it was most certainly not intended that everyone who logs in sees the option.
But you know what? This is pointless. In 16 days you will see that I'm right. Should I be wrong I'll necro this thread (it won't be 30 days old) just to eat my own words.:D But if they would change the Remans then it will be years down the road.

Still liking version 1 the best.

Veril looked like a human with a forehead skin and gray eyes....hardly Reman...more like half TRIBBLE. The new Reman females look alien and vampiric which was the original intention of the Reman species to be evil looking.
Well, thankfully now we'll all get to use the option we like best.

I have a feeling that Reman males will have similar head options to what I've seen on Veril. Of course it remains to be see whether those options will be available to players or whether they're just available for that BOFF.
Not me - because in her current state, Veril doesn't have the customization options required to revert her to the original. It took me about 5 minutes of trying something out to get something that looks 40% accurate. :mad:
Edit: You see, the V1 picture is from BEFORE the patch. The V2 and V3 pictures are the only ones that have been created AFTER that patch.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

I meant the picture itself.
I know that the HEAD SHAPE in #2 is the same, but none of the other options required to make a replica of V1 are available.

As already stated the options to recreate the V1 head are very much there. I know because managed to recreate it and saved it.
