Wasn't Spock originally supposed to be an android, but they changed him to space elf because of budget?

I could be making this up. I feel like that's something I read though.

That would explain the no lying thing.

I'm not sure about android but he was supposed to be Martian and have red skin. However there were a lot of complaints about 'devil' comparisons.

I was mixing things up, it was phase II that was supposed to have the Android.

IIRC, it was the Vulcan science officer in Star Trek: Phase II that they originally wanted to be an android.

That's exactly what it was! Thank you

I can't find anything to indicate that, but this novel has a wild plot involving android versions of seemingly half of Starfleet.
