Hi All,
I took a very long break from the game and just about finish updating it for another run, possible. Some of the things I wondered if they have been discussed and/or put into the game or if even possible.
(a) When selecting an alien race having the ability to make your alien crew the same graphic race as you are.
(b) Not being align with each factions 'Starfleet'. Being aligned with a faction but not actually having to go through that factions military ranks.
(c) Creating another world where advancing to top level would take longer that a month or two. I found the advancement in levels to be way to quick.
Anyways off to discover what is new in the game as an Andorian, thanks rewatching to Star Trek: Enterprise to get me back into the mood for the game.

Yes, as long as your bridge officer (AKA BOFF) is also an alien. You can also save/load costume (including face etc).
(b) Not being align with each factions 'Starfleet'. Being aligned with a faction but not actually having to go through that factions military ranks.
You can't. You are either Starfleet, KDF or Romulan military. Level are ranks. But you can always say you're not an admiral or something. Doesn't makes much sense that you are not part of the military at all, considering the mission, but whatever.
I know a lot of people (myself included) that are forever stuck at Captain rank for their head canon. My rank pips are Captain to.
(c) Creating another world where advancing to top level would take longer that a month or two. I found the advancement in levels to be way to quick.
Well, it's still quick. Except for lvl50-60, but then, it's grindy. IE you have xp gaps (unless perhaps with a new character), and you have to repeat whatever you like for XP. Patrols are advised.
A. Only your bridge officers. You can totally make them match you. You have zero control over your crew. Officially. Unofficially there's a file involved client side. Changing it can ruin the game and violates terms of service. But I've seen it done. I don't recommend it.
B. Nope. And never going to happen.
C. Not via a different shard/server, but post level 50 the last 10 levels take longer than the first 50. And going past that, maxing spec points takes a looong time.
I was inquiring about the crew as if you can create your own Race then it would be nice to have your entire crew the same race as you, even if it was just one default option, for either sex.
The reason for the not joining one of the military forces was so you could fight on the side of Faction without having to be officially part of the Faction. That is one aspect of the game that I would have like to see and leaves room to create Foundry Projects more in line with an ongoing story line. For example the Andorians history, if I remember some old text on them correctly, states that there was a time when they sent ships out to expand their Empire and most were lost, some successfully start colonies and some of the colony ships were never heard from again...
The slower level advancement was something that I always hoped for, more of a seperation of rank and title where you have to accomplish certain tasks to get promotions and normal experience to get rank so that way it is possible to be an experienced character (ie. level 50) but only be an ensign in Starfleet (if you joined). Look at all the characters from the shows, they were experts in their fields but not all of them where Captains, etc.
Just one persons personal desires.

While the game will always call you by the rank indicated on your level, you can set your title and change your uniform to be any rank you want. I've seen some fleets that rp as if the whole fleet is one ship with only one captain etc.
