We can name 8 playable races that without doubt they'll be in there.

- Federation (Done)
- Klingon (Done)
- Romulan (Done)
- Dominion (Done)
- Borg (Done)
- Iconian (In progress)
- Noxter (In progress)
- Ciadan (In progress)

Could there be an additional race? I'd Like that. You all can chose! And there are plenty to choose from. 
I know the Devs chose, this is just to get an opinion on who likes who.

Orions (not the pirates).

You forgot Ciadan, that is the 8th playable race

Remember guys, there is the option of "Other *Please specify", plus you can change vote if you change you mind about the race you want.

Yes, but you got the wrong number of races in there.  (I voted for Voth though... either that or Son'a)

Well, these are the races that I know of. I put that there so if there were any races that I could learn about.

Hmm, I think you misunderstood me: The Devs have plans for 8 playable races--you left out Ciadan (you can look on the first page of the Forum for the list if you wish)

Okay I edited it. Now, it is in there. Now, I'd like to know what is it you like about the race you chose.

8th will be the Ciadan. sadly.

But for the 9th (as theyve confirmed they are eventually looking to include) I would love to see a Sona-Cardassian-Tholian-Gorn league.
One avatar can be Sona-Tholian-Cardassian, the other can be Sona-Cardassian-Gorn.

I like the Sona. The Sona basically got whatever the Federation abandoned, subspece weapons, Bio-genic devices, and a lot of other things like that. That would realy turn game play up because your talking about really destructive technology.

I like the Voth because they are more reptillian/saurian, are advanced but have stagnated, and don't have permanent bases (which could make gameplay very interesting). Likewise they have cool cloaking technology and awesome beaming capabilities.

I'm all over the Cardassians on this one but I'd love to see the Son'a as well

hence the league of Cardassian-Sona-gorn and Sona-cardassian-tholian.

It'll allow the subspace weapons on sona ships. the ragtag keep'em coming resourcefulness and cunning of the cardassians (maybe even cloaking keldons with romulan mixed tech yards), and the saurian elements of the Gorn. The tholian with their webs will be for those who are fond of rock collection instead of reptile rearing.
there's something for everybody .

I'd like to see either the Gorn, Tholians, or Breen as playable, though the Breen and Tholians are already planned to be NPC races so they are likely out of the picture.

hoping *fingers crossed**... they said the same about the cardies initially.
Since there arent enough canon ships for an entire tech tree for each or any, there can certainly be an alliance of sorts. I look at it as a playable NPC combine, where we get the basic ships that are in npc, assign them specific roles such as the tholians and gorn having the cruisers, the cardies bringing the galors and keldons as the battleships and hideki as scouts, while the sona bring the tech and the advanced battleship with subspace weaponry.

I have confidence that our mods will be able to implement it with a good deal of finesse, should they try to include the 9th race as a Playable NPC combine. (of course excluding 8472 which remains pure npc)
