Hiya folks, Doc here.
Sorry I've been out of it for a while so I decided to grade the playable races of STO. All 30 of them....well 29 +1 heh I'll explain as I go along. Every race got a grade from F to A+ in Space and Ground based on their racial traits or lack of, then an overall composite final grade. These are my thoughts Q&C welcome. Let the countdown, err grading begin.
Captain Races Ranked F- to A+
Composite of all 30 Races. Technically 29 But a +1 (Orion Males/Females have different racial traits) so that's 30. 😝
F- Tier Races
#30 Orion (Male)
KDF-only
Species Passive Traits: Physical Strength
Activatable Ground Trait: Seduce
#29 Ferasan
KDF-only (C-Store)
Species Passive Traits: Predatory Instincts

#28 Pakled

#25 Gorn

Species Passive Traits: Reptilian Strength, Cold Blooded, Resilient
Activatable Ground Trait: Superior Bite
I may well do that Doc, unless it already exists somewhere!
Yeah, no clue how to make a spreadsheet anymore, you or anyone else is welcome to it. I did the best I could 🙂.
Hey Doc Thanks for doing this. I think it would be more useful if you can put it into one long list and split them for the space and ground, also listing the figures alongside the traits, e.g. for Klingon Ground bonus:
+15% Physical Damage
+5 All Damage Resistance Rating
+5% All Energy Damage
+15% Critical Severity
+10% Threat Generation
There is a list on the STO wiki already but you could make it more encompassing, perhaps a spreadsheet is the way to go with this? The list is here: https://sto.gamepedia.com/Trait On a spreadsheet you could have a drop down for various traits, rankings etc and then the list populates as per the filters chosen. Just an idea. Thanks for the effort Matt
