Welcome to the 9th volume of Star Trek Online's Ask Cryptic! In this volume, we talk about Character Customization. Will there be unique races? Will there be limitations? You're going to have to read more to find out!

It may just be me but I have a feeling this could possibly end badly.

My question is why would anybody play the original races when you could just make a facsimile of a said race but with better stats and attributes.

I plan to play a human. That is why the option exists, however, to play whatever you want to make within the game limits. This is Star Trek, where the only limit is really one's imagination.
The answeers were quite good, and I enjoyed them, htough I am still curious about what limitations on the uniform we will have and what alterations we can make.

Thats great that there will be all this customizing character stuff. Really i do think its great. But I don't care about that right now. Give us something more about gameplay please.

Yeah, but I mean how often do you see humans or vulcans serving in the Klingon Defense Force? Well, now there will be some.

For me it sounds good... especially the part with the Tholians

If, for all intents and purposes and in all but name, you can make a Klingon (and share him with ya buds) then play him as a Fed, doesn't that defeat the purpose of having Factional separation in the first place?

Sounds like a good setup for IP characters..Hoping theres the function to build a hologram from the ground up as both a PC and a crew member...
