Gorn Body Customization

I was making a Gorn to test out the new Klingon starter mission and I couldn't make him as thin as my live Gorn since there are new options for customizing the upper body. Is this intentional to have all Gorn be extra beefy looking and will my Gorn on live be affected by this change. I personally like him looking more thin like a lizard and not thick like a crocodile.

I really liked that slider. I was hoping all other species would be getting it (since it was introduced when the Gorn were redesigned a couple years back) instead of reverting the Gorn to the original sliders for torso bulk and stomach.
Plus the Gorn Technical caste is supposed to be smaller than the Soldiers.
I've got a Gorn techie youngster on my KDF main's crew and I'd like to keep him scaled on the shrimpy side for RP purposes. It wouldn't be the end of the world for me if he suddenly grows 20cm and puts on 20 kilos, but it would be more than a little annoying.

true, but smaller compared to ~7' 300lb soldiers mind you
I'd say they still dwarf most humans
Ya my Gorn is a science officer so I thought it also fit him that he wasn't beefy.
especially when stood next to Slassh his tactical and torpedo officer
but yes slim would be better still

Looking over it again, I'm not sure that anything was changed. They removed physique and bulk but added stomach size and torso bulk which seem to achieve the same look.

If you import the costume of a skinny Gorn from Holodeck into Tribble, the Gorn does indeed APPEAR as being skinny, but if you adjust the sliders all the way to max, there's no way in Hell to get the Gorn to appear even "normal" in size, let alone huge and bulky.
When this goes live on Holodeck, players with Gorn of different bulks and physiques are going to be stuck with those settings on those costumes.

were talking on average of
7-8 feet tal and around 250-300 pounds
The smaller of the gorn usually are in the high 6 foot tall range around 250 pounds
so....no gorns are not small and are not thin as paper they are a very robust species.
Oh i almost forgot there are no female gorn
The gorn "Dancing girls" Q had were gorn alphas or in their species known also as egg bringers.
I did a little research so trek nerds go rage on google where i got this information.
Stuck with their current look or the new one?
Hmm. I'm not sure where google took you to find that but according to my own research (see link in sig) there are female Gorn who live / fight / mate alongside the males.
Also there are at least a Technical caste and a Intellectual /Political caste which are smaller than the soldiers seen on screen.
Also big Gorn grow up from little Gorn.
Of course, none of this is established in canon so who knows what's really what.
Oh, but Q's "dancing girls" in ESD we're definitely these ugly dudes: http://sto.gamepedia.com/Slave_Master

Of course, by the same token the super tiny Alien captains we see running about really ought to have Knockback vulnerability... FORE!
As a gorn player I want old physique back!
edit: dear devs - give gorn some head options instead of messing with things that went well and everybody liked them
edit 2: on gorn size - gorn are reptiles and grow almost all their lives, so it appears to be pretty natural you meet sleek newt juve'es while those XL lizards are simply hitting their two hundred or more
While I don't see Gorn being able to rip limbs off in game, I can see them taking your rifle from your hands and smashing it against your face.
Now I want /e Tee_Shot emote.

:eek: Actually, this could be a great reward from some form of Q Event. Play x rounds of Tribble Golf, unlock the Tee Shot emote and power for your captain. The power could be a special melee attack using your equipped melee weapon, rifle, or assault weapon as a golf club, doing bonus damage and knockback.
Oh, and to stay on topic, yes give the Gorn back their customization.
