A Very Important Addition To AOY

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
While I understand the restriction of canon races in AOY to those that don't have an important part to play later in the timeline, I believe it to be a mistake to disable the Alien generator in this expansion.

TOS certainly would have taken advantage of being able to make all the different races possible if they had the budget.

Many people will be put off by not being able to play their favorite created race that they have played the last 6 years, so please put the Alien generator into AOY.

    Meh...

    It's ok if they do it, but I would hardly classify it as "Important"...
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    It can be considered important if it effects their metrics and cash flow.

    It's just an easy idea that will draw in more players, always a good thing.

    *insert obligatory "Mah Imersions" line here*

    Still hoping they allow Caitians.

    They could do an Alien Generator, but it would mean only having parts that are appropriate for the Classic Shows era.

    That means No Parts for Cardassians/Ferengi/Jem'Hadar/Bajorans etc...

    But many of these parts would be ok...

    I also wouldn't mind having all of these...

    Logic dictates they add a LTS playable species, and new faction veteran rewards. Ill be a playable ******** flying around in my old timey TOS veteran dystroyer.

    Just thought one a special playable race, you know what common "species" appeared a bunch on TOS, human appearing androids. They could make a playable android for LTS, make it appear different than the boff, more robotic. Just a random thought. I would like a playable Tholian but thats not gonna happen.

    If they do a LTS species for the TOS faction it will be most likely be Human/Vulcan.

    Huuummmnnn...

    A Vulcan-Human like Spock.

    Having the traits of both species.

    THAT would be Very Kool!

    I think it would be whatever race that 0718 npc that appeared on Tribble is to follow the Cyborg race trend that the LTS has. If an alien race shaved a human bald and put a glowing disc on the back of his head in the 23rd Century JJ Universe, then that same alien race could have done it to someone in the 23rd Century STO universe.

    May be they just found a way to clone Mr. Proper and taught him how to give very uninformative response to a request for status-updates like "Major hull damage, Captain." (as if we didn't know that already after the ship was barraged for several minutes).

    Y'know, it'd be kinda cool if the Klinks could get the old-school TOS female Klingon uniforms.

    still think these would be better TOS android BOFF/LTS perks
