Only problem with changing race is that the way the game is now everyone would be human except the few people that just liked being what they are. ANd youd almost never see a wookiee at all. 95% of the players would be human. Once they finaly fix the ham bug with humans than the bulk of the population would migrate to the next "uber" race. THey need race to be unchangeable to add diversity. Im saying that and im a Twilek doctor that pvp's often....Yeh my 1100 mind and 500 secondaries are killer hehe.

This is a good idea. However, there should be some more downsides to it to prevent people from swapping every couple days. What if, after your species change, your stats are all set at racial minimums?You then have to migrate all your stats to where you want. Since stat migration takes time, people will have to decide if they really want to do it or not.

I really like this idea. But, I'd have to say that it would probably never get implemented. However, I think that the Image Designer should have more free reign over your total appearance.
I myself am a Mon Calamari Male, and love the mind pool that comes with the species. I find it a great plus to my role as TKM/MDoc. The drawback comes from my appearance. The football shaped head, Popeye lootking arms, and buggy eyes really dont appeal to me.
What I would like to see is the implementation of the ability to have an Image Designer be able to Fully image design your body. Not just alter some small aspects. I would like to have my entire body reworked from the ground up. I would like to have a normal sized head so my composite helmet doesnt look warped. I'd like to have a normal set of eyes that dont bug out of my skull.
The issue I see with the origonal post is that the poster wants to completely change species from one to another. I'd like to see myself be able to look different from the origonal species template. Such as a Mon Calamari without the bulbous head, Zabrak horns, Trandoshan eyelids, Bothan ears, and Wookiee fur. In an age in the game where we can obviously make clones of ourselves, bioengineer pets, and create ships that can travel at light speed, you think that the scientists could figure out a way to give our bodies some added attraction. Hell... I have 2 guage earings in real life. That should be a doable thing ingame as well. Not overly difficult to stick a needle through your ear.
/sigh
This would never get implemented either. =(
