Xindi parts wishlist

Some fur options and Jannar's hairstyle would be nice to have.

Also, apparently the Xindi Insectoids were featured in Discovery. Their basic model seems to be less different now from the average model in STO than the ones from Enterprise were: they have a more rounded head, more humanoid-like eyes and they are less 'sticky'.

Especially the combined nose-mouth option would be nice to have, as well as the option to re-create those bulbous eyes.

    I whole-heartedly agree. I will always agree with more costume options, but there was definitely a missed opportunity to include more Xindi options when the Xindi Lockboxes were around. At the time, even though we did get some Xindi-Primate options, we could've gotten at least some Xindi-Reptilian and Xindi-Arboreal options. Xindi-Aquatic may be out of this question, but this new look for the Xindi-Instectoids certainly makes them a possibility now.

    The DSC Xindi Insectoids are just more boring rubber masks (DSC is definitely in a rut when it comes to that), but still, more alien-tab building options are always a welcome thing (especially since they can usually be mixed to create more original aliens as well as ones from the various shows).

    Probably didn't feel it necessary to polish up an old CGI model from Enterprise for what amounted to a background extra.

    They need to fix the tailor on Console before I want to see any more hairstyles because it takes ages for all the "presets" to load before I can open the advanced tab.

    If they don't want to put any effort into it then just don't do it?

    Honestly... did they actually SAY that was a Xindi-Insectoid? Or is it just "Generic Insectoid 5" that people just assumed was Xindi?

    Memory Alpha sure seems to say it's a Xindi, and that was the same assumption I've seen most others make
