| Not sure how long it'll stay up for as it appears to be leaked Beta footage unofficially released, but there is a video on YouTube currently showing the character customization process that's definitely quite interesting! In case the video goes down, the options available are... CHOOSE SPECIES
- Human
- Andorian
- Bajoran
- Bolian
- Vulcan
- Ferengi
- (Joined Trill - preorder only)
- Unknown (custom race)
Both male and female variants are available for each. CHOOSE TRAITS
- Acute Senses (easier to detect stealthed opponents)
- Accurate (improves accuracy of space weapons)
- Aggressive (improves the damage you deal and makes enemies more likely to attack you over other targets)
- Astrophysicist (improves your Operations stat, which enhances deflector, emitter and sensor powers)
- Cold Blooded (provides moderate resistance to fire damage and some resistance to plasma fire damage over time effects)
- Covert (makes your exploits do more damage and increases the effectiveness of your stealth abilities)
- Creative (improves the damage and healing of your kit powers)
- Efficient (provides a bonus to efficiency stats, improving the effectiveness of many of your power management abilities)
- Elusive (Reduces the chance for enemy ships to hit you with their weapons)
- Lucky (increases critical hit and expose chance. Does not stack with other expose chance buffs)
- Mental Discipline (provides innate resistance to the effects of psionic attacks as well as confuse and placate)
- Natural Immunities (provides innate resistance to the effects of radiation and toxins)
- Peak Health (provides maximum health and toxic resistance)
- Physical Strength (improves the damage of melee attacks)
- Resilient (provides innate resistance to physical and energy damage)
- Soldier (increases critical hit damage and ranged weapon damage)
- Stubborn (improves resistance against placate and abilities that reduce your movements speed or prevent you from acting)
- Sturdy (provides innate resistance to phyiscal damage and knockback attacks)
- Sure Footed (improves reistance to powers that knock you back or root you in place)
- Techie (improves your Engineering stat, which increases the effectiveness of maintenance, repair, and performance powers)
- Telekinesis (knocks the target back with telekinetic force)
- Telepathic (improves the chance of exposing a target as well as the duration of the expose. Makes it easier to detect stealthed opponents. Does not stack with other expose chance buffs)
- Warp Theorist (improves your Warp Core stats, which increases the power levels of your ship)
You may choose any 4 of the above traits. Obviously, a lot of it seems to be based around either combat (weapon efficiency and damage-dealing), engineering (power distribution and efficiency) or exploration (toxic resistance, immunities) so I'm guessing those will be the main roles of players in the game (matches the Exploration, Battle, and Science ship categories too). CUSTOMIZE HEAD & BODY Covered in other videos, but massive facial and body customization options. CUSTOMIZE UNIFORM Pick from 5 presets then go in deeper to then selectively customize the look and colors of:
- Shirt
- Badge
- Gloves
- Pants
- Boots
CHOOSE YOUR STORY Enter basic info on:
- Nickname
- Ship
- Formal name (First, Middle, Surname)
- Bio
Anyhow, this info will let us start planning our characters better now | |

| Well as we get closer to release i think we should start thinking about uniform design for the Fleet as a whole or are we going for what you want to wear?. | |

| Well personally I've pre-ordered the DS9/Nemesis uniforms so I'd like to wear that. But I can see the advantage of having a unified Fleet uniform.
Presumably the game will let you swap and change at will. So privately you could wear what you want but for 'official' business you could wear the Fleet uniform? | |
