The reasoning behind it is that, as a privateer, you would have access to and wear items that the normal military would not. It really sells the idea of the character being an outlier in their faction, with the new items being things they've obtained that are useful to the character and/or they just like the way it looks on them.
I've considered the prospect of a privateer/independent faction or career path for some time now. Besides ground gear and costumes, they should have access to other ships as well, such as heavy freighters, tankers, blockade runners, etc.
Sound far-fetched? Not really. Anyone that played EVE Online knows you can spend most of your time over there in transport ships, earning your credits on shipping and delivering goods and services. I think it could open up a whole new angle to the game, especially with content that would support that path.
It would be a nice devation from 'find us the next, big bad alien species to fight' in a season. Handled right, it could open social/community aspects of the game. I have at least one character on my roster that would definitely take an indy path if it became available.
Actually, I was discussing the idea of a privateer faction with a friend (he wants it to specifically be a Maquis faction, but that's too narrow of a focus). One of the ideas we had was that as a beginner, you would have access to a Miranda, a B'rel, or a T'liss, and instead of being awarded newer and better ships based on faction through the standard level rewards, you have to actually steal them. The gameplay mechanism for it is already in place, given the KDF mission to steal a Runabout, so incorporating it shouldn't be too difficult. Of course, Lockbox and Lobi ships should still be available, though I am still unsure of how to handle the faction-specific choices like the Infinity Secondary Mirrorverse ships or the 23rd Century Deradnoughts.
A maquis faction would be interesting. PWE though doesn't seem to have the desire to create a separate faction though, probably because it would require some actual work on their part. The Romulan mess is so half-arsed, it really disappointed me once I was forced to choose an alliance. Whether Tal'Shiar, Maquis, Dominion, and the many others out there I personally wish were added. I don't think we will ever see a full fledged faction of any kind outside of the two we have, which they have basically merged into one.
For a moment, consider: The Kind of Orions is logical that they run almost naked. There is no dispute about this.
What I really meant was Starfleet Captain / Admiral Uniforms and the Romulan Empire.
Do you really think that, from the point of view of the "spirit" of Star Trek, is it worthy for these captains / admirals to run for ESD in their swimsuits or even to do so in the captain's seats on the bridge of the starships under their command ?! It's dehonesting! AND I RECALL THE FOLLOWING FACT:
The option of selecting and modifying the Starfleet uniform is compared to the selection and modification of the Romulan uniforms, similar to the difference between the fashion department store (Starfleet) and the small boutique with clothes that someone just robbed (the Romulan Empire).
And that's what's really going on here.
I hope you finally understand what I was trying to warn.
Can we get shirts with rollable sleeves for Federation like we do for Romulans? Also, a work-type vest would be nice.
Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

There was obviously a misunderstanding again.
This is not about t-shirts, skirts or vests.
This is a complete captain's uniform!
Please look for the difference between civilian clothing and uniform! Thank you.

This is the Costume Request Thread, so any type of wearable outfit counts for requests. This runs the gamut from military uniforms to civilian clothes to specific types of hats, gloves, earrings, or anything else that a character might wear.

Exactly, requesting ANY type of costume is what this thread is for.
Here is my personal wish list of uniforms I would love to see added to the game I would
love to here from the community if you agree or what uniforms you would like to see added.
Meh. Given there hasn't been so much as a "huh...." posted there by Devs in the last THREE YEARS that I bothered to scroll through, what makes you think its anything other than the place ideas go to die?

No matter if it is "the place ideas go to die" or not, it is THE place this type of request is supposed to go. If you want to go solely off of DEV interaction, this entire forum is kinda pointless then. We hardly ever see anything official here, that's all posted to reddit.
I would like correct color codes for The Wrath Of Khan uniforms and a correction to the rank insignia for Rear Admiral for The Motion Picture uniform
Most of the TWoK ranks need to be redone. If you ever want a good example of something they weren't willing to take their time on and do them correctly. Many of the TWoK ranks are a good place to start.
I am sending this as a request and possible suggestion... I would love to have the option of using the caitian tail on the alien race. I would gladly even spend Zen to unlock this option. There are a lot of people I know in game that would love to have this option as well, and are willing to pay for it. I do have the Caitian and Feresan Races unlocked but I really want to have the option to use the tail on the alien race since the new Star Trek Movie that J.J. Abrams made has a catgirl type race and I've sorta created a version of this race but require the tail to make it complete. Please, give us this option.. even if it is a Zen unlock or Phoenix Box Unlock. I would gladly spend money for it as would others, I can guarantee it.

Maybe not the Caitian and Ferasan tails specifically, as those are very specific to the races, sort of how the gigantic ears are specific to the Ferengi.
Now I could get behind a selection of different types of tails, such as canine, feline (sleek, but not tuftedlike the Caitian/Ferasan), and reptilian, with a large number of options.

Just in case it wasn't mentioned in the prior sixty-plus pages... the 21c formal outfit could use some top variations. Specifically, not only should there be jacket/coat options (existing jacket; longcoat; none) but one should also be able to choose whether or not to wear a waistcoat/vest. There is also no reason that female characters should not be able to, as they say, rock the slack/shirt combo either... a certain bartender, for example, is proof that it can work quite well.
I suspect, too, that it would only be beneficial to both relevant parties to get in touch with IDW Publishing about using their take on TNG-era Imperial uniforms, as seen in their 'Mirror Broken' run; the FCBD '17 promo issue includes, aside from a complete short story, concept art.
I would like some of the in game hairstyles available only to NPCs start filtering out to the players. There's a really great Andorian style for males on an NPC on the Babel mission for the AOY faction. The new Klingon styles that in the new episodes. It baffles me there are already created pieces that we don't have access to.
Would really like to have the Club Wear available for use outside Club 47. Currently, you can change to an outfit using it inside the club and walk out, but if you zone or relog, you get switched back to your base uniform. For something that costs 250k GPL, even for an account unlock, the price is irritating for such a limited use, and the parts make for some nice "retro" sci-fi uniforms.

I see people in it in lots of places that are not Club 47 or ESD to be honest.
