Alien creations

When are we going to get options for hands and feet to put on our aliens we create during character creations. I am sure not every alien race had 10 fingers and 10 toes.

    We will be allowing the character art team some organization and clean up time for the alien gen creator soon. There are a lot of strange things missing and in general, I'd like to see more "alien" parts added on a regular basis.

    We totally need to be able to make this dude. His hair is awesome to such an extent and in such ways that I dare not speak of it.

    I also hope this means they'll be cleaning up some of the existing species, too. Like the Gorn needing their three fingered hands, or giving the Yridian in DS9 proper looking spindly, tapering fingers. Or the Benzites' double-thumbs! :D
    Still, it's good to know that this kinda stuff is on their list.

    I want the catitian bits in there too I got the species thinking I’d get access to its parts in the alien creator turns out not really. There’s an idea to sell more species. Every time you release a new one all its extra bits go into the alien grab bag, like the tail or lizard feet, crazy facial hair and funky ears if you buy it.

    Hope so. My Alien creation doesn't feel complete because I was hoping for more reptilian features like snouts, beeks, frills, sails, claws on hands and feet, and of course tails.

    Dan, please please PLEASE tell me whether or not adding Romulan ridges to the alien gen is on this list! It's probably the single most glaring omission from the alien gen, and there's a small army of players that want to see it!

    So glad someone mentioned the Benzites. Two thumbs!

    But the people who see it can right click, "copy link address," then paste it into their browser!

    Speaking of alien gen, there are still some parts in it that have been broken since beta

    The horns are nice from the front, but when viewed from behind, parts of them are transparent.

    Found another picture, though it lacks the hair. :(

    I seriously hate ex-astris-scientia (:mad:) just did a quick Google for the character and didn't notice it was from there. (again, :mad:).

    If you use firefox, get the imgur plug in and you can simply right click on a picture and simply re-host it, elsewhere.

    =edit=

    Example:

    http://i.imgur.com/ridoT.jpg

    The reason they don't allow hotlinking is that click throughs on the images sends the traffic through their site. So if an image gets posted here in a popular thread, by a popular person, they might get thousands of click throughs to that image or images. If the image is close to 1mb, that could be several gigs of traffic on their site and it might impact their server. Being that star trek images could be considered a very popular search, that could be a bad thing. Re-hosting it is nicer as it doesn't hurt their servers.

    Is there any chance we can name our Aliens so that if I look like a Cardassian and sound like a Cardassian and Taste like a Cardassian my character can be called a Cardassian and not Custom Alien Varient 1. Though I would much prefere a Cardassian species added as this stops my trips to the tailor offering me a large green headed tencicle creature as a change in uniform option at this point I'll take just about anything!

    I want avian bits added to the alien gen. Feathers, plummage, beaks, talons, and maybe even wings.

    Would like that! Definitely think everything up to the wings would be relatively simple.

    Please allow us to create a Liberated Borg with any race or alien creator as well. :)

    What be kind cool also if you're planning a re-trait option

    Allow existing characters to become liberated Borg. Picard is a liberated Borg. So there is Canon to support that a captain might be assimilated then liberated gaining the efficiency trait and perhaps even a complete re-trait.

    Great idea! Although I have to wonder, did Picard get the efficient trait? It seems to me that he mostly got +1,000 to damage vs. the Borg (space trait).
