I was thinking, not all members of a species look alike. Maybe we can have some options when choosing our race, for example, the only option for the Human race is a white man. Obviously not all humans are white or men. Maybe we could choose from 3 men or 3 women of various colors or like a pick and choose hair, color, face, facial hair, so on and etc. The same could apply to all the other races. That way we could feel like we have a little more controll over the game, even if we dont. Its just a minor suggestion. Ive seen players in other games lose interest because they were of a different ethnicity and were forced to be white.


P.S. For the record I am a white man.

they could add all that then some and just put it out on xbox... i'd buy it, especialy if you got to fly from the helm..

... even if that sounds eerily similar to Mass Effect. but yeah. Race Avatar Customization would be epic in this game. Especially if u got stat points or something. i know there are ALREADY race bonuses, but there could be stats like

Situational Awareness (i know u get these from neural transmitters) where each stat point is .5% xp bonus

Heightened Reflexes - each stat point adds 1% bonus to defence

Bloodthirst - each stat point increases damage by 1%

Intuition - each stat point gives +3% to scan

maybe others i havent thought of...?

and you would get 2 stat points each level, along with the 5 rank points.

and then there could be unlockable skills or medals to earn or whatever. I would love to see when u target a ship the ship avatar and then a little box showing all the medals that that player has earned. Medals can be

Reach lvl 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 and so on
PVP Kills - 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 75, 100, 150, 300, 750 whatever
PVP rank - Harmful, Dangerous, etc...
Repair a Certain Number of Allies
Reach a Certain Attack
Reach a Certain Defencce
Reach a Certain Cloak
Have a Certain amount of Each Type of Crew...
NPC Kills
Stryll Mission Chain Complete
Zolazin Mission Chain Complete
T.O. Mission Chain Complete
Prejor Mission Chain Complete, etc.
Planets Colonized

stuff like that. and it dosnt have to be the full medal displayed, just the little square band that represents it, and the player would have a 'Medal Box' which would hold all of their achievements. Just a thought.

Comments on this are welcome.

What is this? D & D ?

ok, fine. so maybe the stat points were over the edge, but i still think we should have achievements (the medals) with a small xp bonus when we complete them.

That would be interesting. I like that idea, it would add more dimensions to the game.

plus it would make it a LITTLE easier to level, and i always enjoy going after achievements.

Even if we just added male/female of every race it still makes for better roleplay.

Yeah, there could be something like two or three different pictures for race. Besides, I've always wondered what female Vygoid look like...unless the current picture is of a female...?

Another good one to keep Dan flooded with numerous good ideas! (i do hope he still checks this forum haha)
+1

yeah I take pride in my goatee and want my Inergon to sport the same facial persona!

Is there only one person adding new things to the game?

Like this, well there are variations depending on how much your willing to spend you know we have different firmware and Software packages available .

I see games like Mafia Wars and stuff have stat points that you can add, it seems like it adds to it a bit, but I love the idea of making your own avatar a little more customized. I'm thinking maybe something like in Crime City, it seems to have a good system: http://apps.facebook.com/crimecitygame

We have stat points, they're just for your ship instead of your person.

I did like the idea of achievements though, they added those in Castle Age and that was nice, especially if they'd give you a few GP or something.
