I just started my character's bio with Race: and a small basic description of said species before I typed in her actual bio information. I also made one of her crew the same, to try to emphisize their characteristics.



It would be nice to be able to name them at creation, but I can see why it could become just a headache. Perhaps us creative types should create our own thread, with screenshots and descriptions, of our custom races.

Do you even know how a database works???

Great idea. As far as a "waste of database space" goes, it doesn't have to be. The name you give your race just becomes part of your character profile.

I support this... my char is one quarter Aenar/three quarters Andorian and all the game just treats me as if I am some totally unknown species...

Not sure how the term Mexican would be offensive...
