Well provided the current game engine and system would support it, a hard enough task in its self programming it and such, should a master image designer be able to do a speices change, I mean we can make someone who was 5 feet, 6 feet in a snap,


Now the next problem would be species stats, they would have to change with the id or it wouldn't be fair.


Next should we be able to do it, I know people who want to be a different speices but would hate to lose all they have done, after all we arn't all powergamers who master professions in 1 week, some of us take months on just one.


Next thing would be how often this shouldn't realy be a thing people should be able to change every other minute it would be shear chaos, I would think that maybe allow a master image designer could change one persons speices a week, this could also reduce server stress and such with the stat convesions


I guess the real question is if it would be possible from the programing part, would image designer want this and what limatations would they want on it,


By the way I am a dedicated image designer myself not some holo grinder

There are a bunch of issues associated with species change, but the most important is this: LucasArts said "no." So no species changes for us…. Probably a good thing—I'd change my species as often as allowed.

The problem is if you don't have a big enough brick or can't find the right head. The devil is in the details.

The State of the Profession has a list of things nono'd by LucasArts, including of course as Syzygy said, species changing.
