What happened to the Alien race customization?

I just wondered because I purchased a Female Alien Tactical officer with a distinct idea of how I wanted her to look, with the idea of adding a Male Alien Engineering officer as her mate. But I was disheartened to start her customization and find out that most of the Alien organic head attachments have been removed from the list.

Is this a relatively new change or has it been this way for a while?

    This has been a problem with the alien character creator from the start, in fact. I've posted threads concerning this in the past. A large number of the options available for male aliens are simply not available for female aliens. This has always vexed me as I have created a custom race that relies on utilizing specific Kreetassan organic head attachments and, thus far, I've only properly been able to design male representatives of that race. The Kreetassan organic head attachments simply aren't there for females. Beyond character creation, I'm also concerned with how limitations such as this might affect Foundry content creation. It's frustrating, and I hope it's something they address when it comes time to expand the character creator.

    That's a shame, do the STO team know about it or would it be worth sending in a BUG report do you think?

    Send a report. The more exposure costume discrepancies get, the better.

    This sounds really odd but there needs to be a breast toggle. Like if you wanted to make a amphibian or a reptilian female. You would have to give her breast or make her a male and your bio would say she was male.

    There needs to be a way to edit the bio page for sex, or turn off the breast with a check box.

    Not to sound stupid or anything but couldn't you just shrink down the bust size?
