I love the amount of customization in STO. The alien creator is one of the greatest for most games that I have played. However right now it is lacking. Not that much has been added since launch though, and there are a lot of assets that have since been made, that haven't been added.
We need Insectoids! We have only seen humanoids in game so far. Unfortunately, that is very Trek. However, you can never know how much I jumped for joy when I first saw the Xindi-insectoids in Enterprise.
We need two things. We need to see playable Xindi-insectoids for the Feds. This doesn't need really any new animations because as far as we know, they pretty much have similar statures and legs to humans.
Next we need insect parts added to the creator. Large, compound eyes, attanae, claws, etc........

Dunno... it's a long way from putting Tholians in the game to putting playable Tholians in the game, if you catch my drift. I'm totally for it, though.
I would also love to see insectoid races. The hardest part would be resisting the impulse to build my own Thranx. (non-ST reference)
I know what your saying, I was thinking similarly. However, they don't necessarily need to create new animations, just new parts.
lol. yeah, i see what you mean. i actually asked in the march ask cryptic for stuff like more limbs, so i'm definitely for something like that.
you don't think so?
No I would actually love new animations. I'm just saying that they probably would be more open to the idea if they could get it done faster.
People wanted the three jointed legs for Caitains so maybe the could do that tech for both Caitians and Insectoids.
I don't want my guy exploding every time I want to Beam down to access the exchange, or shipyard!
sounds good.
Bugs? No, thank you.
When they come, they gonna bite you:p:D
Hey, I can understand why you don't want "bugs" in your game.
But as far as non-humanoids go, insect species far outnumber any other (besides one-celled organisms). Why wouldn't there be at least one insectoid race out there in a Sci-Fi universe?
We certainly have enough of the reptilian/saurian types running around between the Gorn, the Saurians, and the reptilian Alien types.
Heck, I'd vote for even stranger lifeforms than that. Maybe not quite the diversity of a "Star Wars" type universe, since Trek has mostly not portrayed a lot of non-humanoid aliens. But more variety in alien parts would be more than welcome.
I'd also like to see the Selki from The Titian book series. Fish-people basically.
