I've never felt that Kheldians were cosmic at all! Sure they can do a lot, but cosmic is not the word I'd use for them. Just because they're aliens doesn't make them "cosmic!" Only beings in this game that seem cosmic to me are Faathim the Kind, Lanaru the Mad, Ruladak the Strong and Rularuu the Ravager.

Since the Cosmos is everything, even Assault Rifle has to do with it. I could call an AR/Dev blaster "cosmic".
The word "Cosmic" is like "Magic" or "Technology". It's an idea, better suited to an origin than an archetype or powerset. Make a Kheldian, or an Energy blaster, or a Radiation defender, and name yourself "Cosmic Lad" (add "X" until the name is untaken on your server), and poof. You're cosmic. There's no need for a new powerset for every adjective in the world. We have plenty of powersets that fit many concepts.
Seriously, what would "cosmic" powers be? What specific powers do "cosmic" characters have that others do not, other than metallic surf boards?
I team with the Repeat Offenders.

Generally "Cosmic" powered usually means much more powerful than a normal hero. Tankmages unimpressed by spawns of all AV's or basically anything less than Hamidon and his posse are usually the sort of thing i'd guess is meant by "Cosmic".|

Sort of like how Johnny Butane thinks Tankers should be able to endure and deal more damage than everyone else, but with extra glowing added.
Otherwise i'd say that Kheldians already pretty much fit the usual description of a cosmically powered character in most comics, except that they aren't more powerful than any normal character:
- Empowered by a being of pure energy from beyond the stars. Check.
- Able to do things no normal character can do. Like, for example, turning into alien energy creatures. Check.
- Big, flashy power visuals and sounds. Check.
- Regularly battles alien enemies that normal characters will not encounter unless a Kheldian is around. Check.

To add even if the "cosmic powers" are not off the charts the other problem with them is they are seldom or ever defined. The hook of cosmic powers is that they can do almost anything, if the wielder possesses the imagination and will. How do you fit that into a ridged structure like an MMO?

I agree. This game needs way more Glactic kaking.

Also on Steam
There's actually a lot of Glactic kaking going on...go check out the dark corners of the D on Virtue, and don't wear your good shoes.

Arc 64511 - The Wrecking Ball
Arc 1745 - The Trouble With Trimbles

Well, if you add rows of short spines it's almost like having ridged structures, just place them close together. Assuming the spines are firmly anchored enough to be rigid. Otherwise the waving will make them unconvincing.

Don't confuse cosmic powers with cosmic beings. Having cosmic powers generally just means broad spectrum energy-manipulating abilities, which any Energy/* Blaster, Corruptor, or Brute, */Energy Defender, Tanker, or Dominator, or Kheldian would fulfill quite nicely. |

A cosmic being, meanwhile, would indeed be something like Rularuu or his incarnations. And if you want power levels on the scale of Rularuu, don't hold your breath. All you can do in that respect is pretend, and then mostly in your own mind. No single player character is ever actually going to be that powerful outside of their player's imagination.

I think energy is cosmic friendly. My eng/eng blaster is *surprise* an alien. I've seen some great grav powered character concepts. And there are always robots.
