You mentioned [in the Champions Online portion of the interview] that customization will be a big part of Star Trek Online. However, when people think Starfleet they tend to think of standard, fairly cookie-cutter uniforms.
A: The customization will really come in your race - your face, your hands, your adding of antennae, big insect eyes, crazy colored skin, spots, and so on. Obviously there’s the uniform that Starfleet wears and, for that matter, Klingons wear relatively standard outfits too. But then the customization is really going to come with facial features: the forehead, the hair, all those items.
Q: And this is why you made a point of the ability of players to create their own race.
A: Yea, because that’s definitely the best way to mix customization in. A normal human or vulcan - they’re only going to vary so much. But we wanted to allow players to explore wild extremes as they can in Champions Online. Besides, Star Trek fans have already come up with thousands of things both in websites and their imaginations.
Q: Given that level of inspiration and imagination, have you come up against anything that, because of the limits of time or current technology, you’ve had to definitively say “no” to?
