Races of the Old Galaxy

I had thought to put this thread in General Discussion, but given it's actually a racial build based off the Alien template... this forum seemed more appropriate. This was one of a number of things I set out to challenge myself with given the limited nature of the game's racial diversity, I think I did a decent enough job. That and people wanted me to post the build somewhere, though the had suggested reddit. I don't have a reddit account nor do I want one. Of course, this only works in the Federation and the Klingons. Romulan Aliens are locked to a mostly human-oid shape (racists). Well, enough idle prattle, time to post the grocery list that is how you build a...
Kaminoan
All sliders are treated as a percentage. Notations given where appropriate.
kaminoan.jpg
Head
Category: Flat Nose - Ridged Head If Male
Category: Flat Nose If Female
Head Type: Smooth Nose Only Appears if Female
Skin Type: Skin
Color: G12 This is the most like their color from the films, though the nine circling colors work just as well. But hey, go nuts if you want.
Overall Pattern: Solid Color
Base Complexion: Saurian This gives the ears most like they had in the films and as a side benefit gives the closest lips.
Forehead Detail: Romulan 3
Intensity: 100
Nose Detail: None
Tattoo, Scar, Etc.: Scar - 13
Intensity 100
Color 1: P24
X Position: 50
Y Position: 61-63 Despite the rather standardized manner of the system this gives me the most variance. Pick which looks best on your kaminoan.
X Scale: 40
Y Scale: 20
Rotation: 80-81 Similar issue as Y Position.
Eyes: Humanoid
Color 1: P24
Color 2: P13
Ears: No Ears Covered with Complexion.
Eyebrow: None
Eye Attach: None
Head Attach Organic: None
Head Attach Tech: None I'd imagine there's a few things you could do with this and it'd be fine, but I didn't put anything there myself.
Mouth Accessory: None
Basic Head Scaling Options

Body
Stance: Any I find all but Creature work well.
Height: 100
Torso Scaling Options
Neck Length: 100 It's not as long as the films, which is my biggest gripe, but it's close enough that I'm satisfied.
Neck Bulk: 0 And not as thin... but close enough.
Torso Bulk: 0
Torso Length: 60
Shoulder Width: 100
Shoulder Bulk: 30

Feet Scaling Options
Feet Size: 100

I'm willing to entertain requests for attempts at other races. Mind, it's going to be at least marginally humanoid and only the Federation and Klingons are so progressive as to let anyone in (bloody Romulan racism).

Append: I am in error. Seems I forgot a certain feature male kaminoans have that females don't. Had to go back and edit the build slightly to make up for the changes.

    So, not content with just one race from a questionably applicable universe, I decided to try another. For what should have been just your standard 'alien features on a human base' it was rather aggravating. Had to start from an Alien base and make it look as bog-standard human as I could just so I could have the full breadth of alien head options. Then had to settle for how those options worked... those head spines hovering over the eyes... and down the neck... Needless to say, alot of settling was done. But hey, two races down out of... how many?

    While true, this is a largely feminine build, it does give a good starting point for making a more masculine version.

    Aside from SW aliens, how many Players or boffs are based on other sci-fi works, or "The Gray's", or just randomized?
  • byozuma#0956 byozuma Member Posts: 502 Arc User
    In my experiences so far alien duty officers are randomized with no regard to functionality or aesthetic. The bridge officer I used to make the zabrak was hideous, looked nothing like anything. Players, though, tend towards either aesthetically done greys of varying heights and ominousness... or harlots with voth crests. At least that's what I've seen on the PS4.

    Been a while since my last entry into my little experiment in alien design and this one could well be my hardest, worst and oldest (seriously, I'm pretty much aging myself with this one) alien yet. The Drac from Enemy Mine (I dare you to remember that movie!). Now, there is no female equivalent being given here as the Drac were hermaphroditic if I remember correctly. Sadly, given the nature of the game alot of rather annoying compromises had to be made. Yes, Zammis, you get four five. Also, couldn't do the mouth justice at all with only tattoos to work with. And the ears... needless to say I may find myself messing with this one alot in the future but it works... mostly.

    I forgot how much effort it was transcribing these things... anyway, I have a fourth alien idea all thought up, just need to find source material, get another alien bridge officer and recreate it! Hope to have it up here soon!

    Append - And mess with it I do, tweaked the mouth a bit to make the 'pad' spots not so crowded together.

    Extra Append - I can't believe I goofed that hard on the 'pad' spots... Fixed them, should be correct now.

    And I return rather non-triumphantly to Star Wars for the next race.

    And this one is even less spot-on than the Drac. Worse, it makes the Drac look photo-perfect. The problem is the eyes... augh, they just don't go all the way to the side of the head! Not even half way! They're all front all the time. Still, barring the eyes (and the hands, always the hands), I did a reasonably good job. Looks cartoony, and the eyes are completely wrong, but it's the best I can do with what I have to work with. I'm only presenting a male as the movies and various series, from what I can remember, have only ever shown males. Females do appear in concept art and comics, but comics are dubiously canon (at best) and really, we're all just going to use this to make one spokesman of the race anyway. So... here we have...
    Mon Calamari

    Overall Pattern: Spots 09

    Base Complexion: Saowin I know I used this for the Drac, but this gave a better impression of the skin folds around the lower face than the other options.
    Forehead Detail: None
    Nose Detail: Kreetassan This restores the 'nasal ridge' that the complexion doesn't provide.
    Intensity: 100
    Tattoo, Scar, Etc.: Tattoo - Basilisk And this restores the nostrils, Mon Calamari have rather pronounced nostrils.

    Ears: Vaadwuar Yes, Mon Calamari have ears, tiny little cone ears. Closest there is to them in these. If you don't have these then Tellarite Tucked should work.
    Eyebrow: None
    Eye Attach: None
    Head Attach Organic: None
    Head Attach Tech: None

    This is definitely one of my more personally disappointing racial builds. Those eyes... they will haunt my days. Please feel free to rip this one apart to see what improvements you can do. Oh, and share when you're done!

    Append: As with Yoda below I made some tweaks to adjust for gender. A recent race build had me reconsider my criteria for what to consider for source material.

    I just saw this for the first time. Thank you, OP. Takes time and effort to work up something such as this. Takes more time and effort to post it here in such detail other players can try it out. Which I intend to do ASAP. Posts such as this are not common. Posters/Thread starters such as yourself are even more uncommon. I, for one, sincerely appreciate the efforts you've made on other's behalf. I hope others will enjoy what you've done here and express their thanks as well.

    Now, where should I put my Cloner? I know! I'll use my out of genre BOff on my Konnie! This will be fun whenever I visit a place where I can take backup along.

    I had an idea for a race to build next but... looking at it I decided it was too easy. Like, Zabrak easy. That and it was likely going to be just as obscure a reference as the Drac and I'm sure there's people here who are still going, "What's a Drac?" So I'm following up my TRIBBLE-poor Mon Calamari with...

    This one turned out so much better than the others, I'm fairly proud of how it looks. Not much more to say, really.

    Append: In making a female version I've found some of the above settings a little off so I went and did some tweaking.

    I have enjoyed the look of and the comments recieved from my deploying a Cloner...er...Kaminoan as a part of my KDF Away Team. Made it a Science BOff and it works out really well here, too. I am going to try this new one out this weekend and I am looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing these with us OP!

    I'm literally cowed by your commitment to this little hobby of mine. Sadly, might be a while before I make another. I'm trying to keep my bridge officers to two of each class and I'm down to an actual Human who hasn't been traded in for an out-of-universe Alien... and I only have two empty slots left after that. And I still have a Jem'Hadar, Kobali and Hierarchy waiting for a chance on my crew. You keep having fun and enjoy.

    Append: Rather ironically, I made a Klingon captain who's Kaminoan, as is her entire crew save one, who's my Federation captain recreated as an Alien (because you can't quite make Vulcans in the Empire).

    Well, it's been a while since my last build post and after the rather good job on Yoda I figured I'd try something harder. Came out pretty good! And pisses me off still! I'll make sure to use the notations to good degree on this as I know I've gotten a fair bit lazy about it the last couple builds. So, here we have the...
    Na'vi

    All sliders are treated as a percentage. Notations given where appropriate.
    navi.jpg
    Head

    Category: Humanoid
    Head Type: Humanoid 5
    Skin Type: Skin
    Color: H4 There just isn't a blue vibrant enough so this is the one that allowed the most range for later color choices.
    Overall Pattern: Spots 08
    Intensity: 50 Gave the best presentation of Na'vi stripes.
    Color: H1
    Base Complexion: Standard 02 Did a good job of lightening the skin tone.
    Forehead Detail: Saurian Really added that dayglo touch the Na'vi seem to have.
    Intensity: 50
    Color: G8
    Nose Detail: Kreetassan Needed something that widened the lower nose above the nostril and this did it best.
    Intensity: 50
    Tattoo, Scar, Etc.: None
    Eyes: Humanoid
    Color 1: P13
    Color 2: A6
    Ears: Kreetassan 01 This had the best animal look while also possessing a secondary color for the tone shift they had in the movie.
    Color: L2
    Eyebrow: Thin 01 I'm not entirely sure they have eyebrows, but just in case I went with small ones.
    Color: F1
    Eye Attach: None
    Head Attach Organic: None
    Head Attach Tech: None
    Hairstyle: Dreads Behind Ear This seemed their hairstyle of choice in the movie.
    Color: F1
    Hair Shininess: 50
    Mouth Accessory: None
    Basic Head Scaling Options

    Head Overall Size: 10 I'd have gone smallest but their heads didn't seem that small to me.
    Head Overall Width: 50
    Head Overall Height: 40
    Head Overall Depth: 0
    Skull Height: 10 Their heads did look on the small side, though, in capacity... but they are really tall so probably still bigger brains than humans.
    Cranium Slope: 40
    Cranium Width: 40
    Forehead Slope: 40
    Forehead Width: 30
    Cheekbones: 40
    Cheek Size: 60
    Cheek Position: 50
    Eyes Scaling Options

    Eyes Size: 90 Fairly large, animalistic eyes... that makes me wish you had a slider for pupil size. Moreso than the Mon Calamari.
    Eyes Width: 80
    Eyes Position: 40
    Eyes Spacing: 70
    Eyes Depth: 100
    Brow Position: 50
    Brow Furrow: 20
    Brow Protrusion: 60
    Nose Scaling Options

    Nose Width: 80 As noted above, trying to make the nose wide in general wasn't happening, had to get creative.
    Nose Length: 40
    Nose Position: 40
    Nose Protrusion: 100 Couldn't even get a beak nose going which is what I needed.
    Nostril Size: 30
    Nostril Position: 60
    Nose Bridge Width: 90
    Nose Bridge Position: 100
    Nose Bridge Protrusion: 40
    Mouth Scaling Options

    Mouth Width: 60
    Mouth Position: 60
    Lip Fullness: 40
    Mouth Protrusion: 80 The have rather feline faces and while this kind of does it, going 100 makes it look monkey-ish.
    Mouth Corner Position: 20
    Jaw Width: 50
    Jaw Height: 30
    Chin Width: 30
    Chin Length: 60
    Body

    Stance: Swagger Come on, tall space Natives, they are going to be looking down on us squishies like the squishies we are.
    Height: 100
    Torso Scaling Options

    Neck Length: 70
    Neck Bulk: 0
    Torso Bulk: 0
    Torso Length: 100 Na'vi are tall, much taller than the height slider allows and they're skinny and lanky in the movie, so had to improvise by making a beanstalk... comments in that to follow.
    Shoulder Width: 100
    Shoulder Bulk: 60
    Bust Size: 0 I didn't see a single female Na'vi with an appreciable bust, did you?
    Chest Size: 50
    Chest Depth: 50
    Ribs Size: 100
    Ribs Height: 0
    Waist Size: 0
    Stomach Size: 0
    Hips Size: 0
    Hips Depth: 50
    Arms Scaling Options

    Arms Length: 70 This ticks me off to no end. When I zoom out I like what I see till I look at the arms. Who programmed the arms scaling? The legs scale correctly, torso so so.. arms... what the hell. All the scaling is in the upper arms! All of it! But if I don't scale the arms it looks all wrong... /fliptable
    Arms Bulk: 50
    Upper Arms Bulk: 80
    Lower Arms Bulk: 70
    Hands Scaling Options

    Hands Size: 100
    Hands Bulk: 80
    Fingers Length: 60
    Legs Scaling Options

    Leg Length: 80
    Leg Bulk: 70
    Upper Leg Bulk: 80
    Lower Leg Bulk: 60
    Feet Scaling Options

    Feet Size: 100
    Feet Width: 60
    Feet Height: 20
    And there we have it. My mildly rage-filled Na'vi build! I love it and hate it all in the same breath! Enjoy, and feel free to share your versions here!

    Append: And in playing with my current set of free officer slots I discovered I left out a Head setting... so upset at myself over that. Also touched on the Arm scaling to maybe alleviate my upset over it.

    I'd like to think I'm not so vain as to let a picture speak for my builds. I'm not really posting, "Look what I made, isn't it cool!" as I am, "I made something, you can make it too!" with a an added, "And I'd love to see how you improved it!" To that end I don't really see how a picture would improve the presentation. Sure, a picture is worth a thousand words but pictures make for poor storytellers. Posting the builds I feel no burden of proof that I did it, the numbers and settings speak for themselves. If you feel I may have copied a build of yours then please, say so. Post it and share! I'm not so prideful that I can't concede credit.

    And this is definitely my last one and... break the theme by being very Star Trek. Did a decent job of it I think though it's rife with the same problem as the Mon Calamari, not enough head options. Not bothering with a female build as it didn't have a female represented anywhere in it's introduction whereas Yoda's race has several females presented in the Extended Universe/Legends stories. Anyway, here are the...

    Well... it's useful if you know what the finished product is supposed to look like. Why bother recreating something if you have no idea if you like it?

    Okay, finally got off my lazy TRIBBLE and posted some pictures with the builds. Forgive the etherealness of the images, seems console doesn't do the game graphics justice in it's screenshots. Sadly, it goes far to illustrate how bad the Mon Calamari was ( T,T ) but... anyone whose made these for their crews probably discovered that already. I might do 7 more in the future, depends on whether I get ambitious with my Temporal captain. Enjoy!

    Been a while since I added to this list but I haven't given up! I actually ran out of bridge officers as I like to keep at least one of every race I've created. Now that I have my Temporal captain running around I have more slots to work with! So what's next on the hit list? Well, figured I'd go back to Star Wars and try my hand at a Bith, or Figrin D'an's horn section as they've appeared in the movies.

    Like the Mon Calamari, Star Trek's character creation system doesn't really support all of the options needed for an accurate representation so I had to settle for 'close enough'. Unlike the Mon Calamari close enough is fairly close and, while there's a place or two that leaves me dissatisfied, I'm content with the final product. So, without further ado...

    Cheek Position: 100
    Eyes Scaling Options

    Eyes Size: 90 This is where things start to fall into disparity, Bith have huge eyes but the game just doesn't goo big enough. C'est la vie. I also hate how large eyes clip through small faces. Easiest fix is not huge eyes...

    Brow Position: 0
    Brow Furrow: 100

    You may have noticed the fashion shot has a different background than the previous ones. Consoles recently enjoyed an update that (finally) fixed the tailors, but in the process they changed their background to that of the holodeck. While I don't mind it, I will miss the star field. It was nice. Though a working tailor is nicer.

    Append: Well, that was a close one. The forum decided to delete my previous attempt at this post during editing. Thankfully I had the foresight to copy it before it was lost from browser history.

    Extra Append: I didn't like the Dual Lobes look after all... it was only accurate to about half of the pics I'd seen but the various animated appearances have them with huge bulbous head and not dual lobes so I went and changed it to fit better to official sources.

    As has been shown in ever fashion shot, I have my crew in matching uniforms. These are my attempt at an Imperial uniform. Given I've shared every one of my alien designs, I figured I'd share the uniform too. Only fitting (hah!).
    Imperial Uniform

    Notations given where appropriate.
    Upper Body

    Category: Uniform - Jacket Loose
    Upper: The Wrath of Khan I can only assume everyone has this by now as, on consoles anyway, it's given for linking your account with Arc if I recall correctly. Sadly there's no other non-premium top that comes close.
    Color 1: Q12 High Command, B24 Command, Q6 Officer, Q24 Enlisted I will be continuing this trend throughout the color coding as this is how they are given in the series.
    Color 2: Your choice of Class coloration. Though me I use Tactical A4, Engineering A12 and Science A20
    Color 3: Q12, B24, Q6, Q24
    Color 4: Q14
    Hands: Gloves Paneled
    Color 1: J4
    Color 2: J4
    Emblem - Character: None Though I go ahead and use the fleet's emblem on my captains.
    Wrist Attach Left: None
    Wrist Attach Right: None
    Rank: Your Rank
    Color 1: A13
    Color 2: A9
    Color 3: A5
    Badge: None I find the 23c Nautilus badges look the most like an Imperial seal but barring that no badge looks better given most are in that Starfleet triangle.
    Color 1: A13 For if you do happen to have 23c badges.
    Back: None
    Arm Attach Left: None
    Arm Attach Right: None
    Chest Gear: Kit - Tac Soldier 3 It has been shown in movies and series that Imperial officers sent afield have worn breastplates. This is the closest to that. But it's entirely optional.
    Color 1: P12, A24, P6, P24
    Color 2: P12, A24, P6, P24
    Color 3: P12, A24, P6, P24
    Color 4: P12, A24, P6, P24
    Collar: None
    Shoulder Pad Left: None
    Shoulder Pad Right: None
    Lower Body

    Category: Uniform - Pants Tucked High
    Feet: Boot Tall Loose
    Color: P24
    Lower: Tucked - Panels and Pockets For those who have it unlocked, Tucked - Jupiter 3 is a better fit for the look. If using Tucked - Jupiter 3 skip Color 1.
    Color 1: P12, A24, P6, P24
    Color 2: H12, H22, H6, J4
    Color 3: H12, H22, H6, J4
    Color 4: H12, H22, H6, J4
    Belt: Odyssey
    Color 1: J4
    Color 2: J4
    Color 3: H14
    Color 4: H14
    Hips Attach Left: None
    Now, there's one uniform I wish I could make to any realistic degree and that's Stormtrooper Armor. I've got the closest looking helmet in the Vaadwuar Officer set but Reputation armor, at least on consoles, doesn't let you use out-of-set items. Any ideas anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Thinking on what else to try I figured I'd look a at the newer films and games. One race I hadn't initially considered were the Neimoidians, droid-abusing business-minded... well, Star Wars' ferengi! So here they are! While I'm presenting both genders a lack of official art for female Neimoidians had me looking to fanart so there's a more stark difference between them than I'd done with Yoda.

    On an unrelated note, I've gone through my previous race build checking for gender parity. So far they haven't needed much more work than minor tweaks so everything should be fine. Not going to discount the potential for even more tweaks further on but for now I can rest in that I shouldn't need to look back anytime soon. With that said, on to the build.

    After seeing a short, long armed alien the other day it dawned on me that there is one alien I had ever considered. I mean, I've done obscure with the Drac, big bidget with the Na'vi... but I haven't done Roger from American Dad! Now, granted, that's a cartoon... but really so are the Na'vi if we're going to get technical. And Yoda, too, in the prequels. So why not! Lets do Roger!

    Now, before I laboriously go into the process of transcribing the stats I have to start with a warning. This is Roger, the most basic of basic cartoon characters. Translating that to Star Trek's 'real' aesthetic is not going to be accurate at all. Like, worse more than the Mon Calamari. Still, I think it turned out rather nice!

    but can you do a protoss? i would say probably not, since there's no way to completely remove a mouth even with aliengen

    it can be shrunk to almost non-existence, but non-existence is still visible close up​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"


    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
    I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
    The Force is united within me.

    Hmm, the face could be feasibly done with the right complexion. The issue that'd drive me batty are the legs, there's literally no way to do them.

    no, there's no feasible way to simulate digitigrade legs in STO, and there probably never will be because then uniform bottoms will clip horribly​​

    It was such an interesting suggestion (and a first for the thread...) that I felt a little challenged by it. And while, yes, there are challenges after the fact, those can easily be surmounted with Dyson Reputation armor. Not that I can see what that'd look like on consoles yet... There are obvious limitations given the source but if I can slap a 'done' sticker on Mon Calamari then I can do the same here. And so I made Protoss! Wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be, though not going to lie that it was easy. None of these builds were. But that's what makes it fun! So, here's the build!

    Now, there are issues with other notable features, like there digitigrade legs. As I mentioned, you can get around that and lend a measure of credibility by slapping them in the Dyson Reputation costume, really finishes the look in my opinion. But that's all in how you want to portray your Protoss. Me... probably just going to be stuck on my bridge doing random tasks. Logistics is just as important a task as shooting up indigenous races.

    Can't believe I haven't done this one yet. Touched on all these other races from several films and franchises but I haven't touched on this, the second most familiar race from Star Wars... I am slacking. So here's my best go at a Rodian! Took long enough, right?
