I agree, with a few things.
Yes other races need some fixing.
But regarding trandoshans, regeneration should definately be increased or replace by something else.
I once read something about a special abilty called tear. It was for a certain amount of time if your fighting unarmed the opponent gets a severe bleed. I don't particularly like that idea, but ading more race secific moves would really make our characters more unique and fun.

I think you're taking it too far with your humor (tame a krayt???). I ask for only SIMPLE alterations, not acomplete racial revamp! As to the poster who commented on wookies stinking before their armor? Fine, I'll give you that one, now lets see your higher HAMstats get reduced or maybe even a complete murder of your mind pools. My arguement is based solely on the fact that as a typically suited combat race, how possibly the most vital pool to a combatant is so lacking. Maybe this won't be such a big deal once we see the HAM revamp thats being discussed, but that could be a while off yet and even then, I'll bet we still get the short straw.
On a final note to the guy complaining about not being able to wear the RIS helmet, I'm pretty sure trandoshans can't either

All we have to show are some unarmed bouses (which also wookies get)
Wookiees do NOT receive any (specific) unarmed bonuses, that is restricted to the Trandoshans.
Wooks do get a warcry bonus and a race specific "Wookiee Roar" ability, but they don't get any actual unarmed bonuses.
It's ridiculous, but there ya go.
As for the worst race to be stuck with? Erm, depends on what you want to do. They're certainly not the worst if you want to be a TKM, since they get bonuses to that.
I'd like to see a revamp of *all* the species, since JTL is about to go Live. Things like Trandoshans Regen should be addressed whilst adding things like Starship Assembly to Mon Cals and so on...

My grief as tradoshan, or as any race for that matter, is that there is NO WAY when u start to play to know for sure what profession you will stick with. In my case, althought at start I would never had choosen Rifleman, this is what I'm confortable with rn. But heck our great focus as Tradoshans.... I'll always be a mini-rifleman, whatever the quality and quantity of food I ingest. My suggestion is tweak races if u want, but much simpler would be to switch races for a fee, the same way we can transfer to another galaxy. I would pay anytime to change to a race that fit better my actual needs, even if I have to do it 10 times depending on the patch!!!

The key here is that every other comp wearing race can just wear boots gloves chest and helm and be set. This is a big deal. Maybe not as big as no armor for the wooks but come on, in todays world of super defense/super high ham armor, we lose alot more precious mind stats than any of the others. Sure there are lower mind races than us, but they get a free 200+ mind on us with the boots/gloves thing. My main problem is the xp thing. Want to be a jedi? Better not be a dosh. We get the equivilent of a imperial race restriction on grinding a jedi. Humans get what? 10% bonus to all xp? And the best stats? Nice work SOE

I'd rather not see them allow Trandos to wear all the armor parts (and I'm against Wookiees having armor, even though one of my mains is one). I'd rather see them rebalance the abilities of the races. The two new races have crafting advantages for space. Perhaps all the other races should have some sort of advantage when it comes to space. In the Revamp to come, I'd like to see Trandos and Wookiees get some sort of toughness that compensates for armor rathert than see them wear all the armor. I'd also like to see the restrictions for some of the substats either raised or lifted for all the species.

For instance, with all the lightsabers runnin' around, how come we don't see more players with missing hands or arms? So, for those who do have an arm cut off, they need to go to pay a ton of $$$ to a Bio-Engineer to create a new one for them. As for Trandoshans, we just grow it back on our own. (I know this is completely unrealistic, but who knows where the Devs will take us down the road!)
Upon reading that, i couldn't help but think of this....

other races can wear comp armour cause realisticly its not hard for them to make a helmet bigger(for mon cal or bothan)
a dosh only has 3 fingers per hand and has big feet with claws on. this is why they cant wear armour on those parts.
race specific armour for them would be nice but it has already been mentioned in the combat upgrade post by TH that new armour is on the way, maybe some different trando armour

We Mon Calamari will come! We got the worse stats period in the game.

If it were anyone but SOE, I'd be stunned that Mon Cals didn't getshipwright stat. It's hilarious, sad, and typical that most of the ship items I've looted are of Mon Cal origin, but yet there's no bonus to any in game MonCal SW's.
Given SOE's knowledge of Star Wars, I expect the next playable race added to the game will be Borg.

Um no, with buffs the way they are mon cal would be the best if it wasnt for humans bs stats and equalibrium. IMO, a mon cal powerboost is worth equalibrium.
