Quetion On The Race Creator and star ship

[Kernec]

With the race Creation tool can you make a hybrid of say a Klingon and a Human and can you also use a Bird of pray as a star ship.:D

[Cormoran]

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes to both of those questions, Enjoy!

I would say yes. It should be possible to create a human / klingon hybrid in the character generator if you want and if your playing for the klingon faction you can likely use a bird of prey at some point

If you make the Klingon/Human hybrid as a member of the Klingon faction than yes you can use a bird of prey (once you earn that ship), but if you make that character as a Federation member than no you cannot use a bird of prey as a ship. There are distinct and different factions for a reason.

you betcha.

are we done here var? :p

I am sort of hoping the the Race Creator is not too limited -- ie blue human, red human, green human -- and will allow for something a little more vast -- ie Kzinti for example.

cryptic is pretty well known for their character creation. whatever they come up with for options, i'm sure its more than 2x than anyone else would...

But how varied and wide? Have they successfully implemented different body proportions, multiple limbs, radically different heads, etc.

Or does their characters tend to all be the same base humanoid, with different colors, tattoos, hair styles, etc?

yes. to the first part of your thingamajig.

try the free trial of COH to check out their char creator, which is old, so therefore way ahead of its time.

also, look at what they want to do with chars in champions online, the same engine which is used by STO.

not sure about multipule limbs, but CoX allows for tails and wings. and if you look at the 6 head shot screen cap in tha gallery you can see antenne and ridges.

but as far as Humaniod only goes, i would have to say probably. 98% of the aliens you see in ST are bipedal, symentrical humanoid. Yes there have been a few bug creatures and non-corporial entities, but the vast majority are humanoid. this was finally explained in a TNG episode, where there was a codded message in the DNA of all the major races. the message turned out to explain they were all seeded by an anienchent race long since dead. they were humaniod an so then are we.
