Do You Play Space Barbies?

Simply put, do you play Space Barbies?
For those not in the know, Space Barbies is really mucking around in the game to customize your character. It may or may not involve C-Store shopping.

WOO HOO! I only started to really dig into Space Barbie-ism. I like being able to choose the old command uniforms, but I am having a very hard time with off-duty customizations. I can unlock them, but going from there is odd because there's tons of choices.

"There... are... four... lights!" ~Jean Luc Picard
Karatek, my Reman
N'Gora, my Fed Klingon
Misryath, my Frost Giant Space Wizard
Doctor Algernop Krieger, from Archer
Berek the Reaper, my Ferengi privateer
Owen Grady, from Jurassic World, complete with BOFFs of Claire, Barry, Zara, Vivian, Lowery, and human forms of Blue, Delta, Echo, Charlie, and Rexy.
Hriwa, my Mirrorverse Caitian
C'Rua, my Ferasan
Raquel Siobhansdottir, a Romulan Liberated Borg. Yes the name is intentionally human, as she's actually half-Romulan.
Oranux, my KDF aligned Reman who wears parts of the Hirogen armor as a trophy (he escaped from and killed the Hirogen pursuing him, taking his armor as a prize).
Stebaynir, my alien KDF officer who wears part of a Herald Thrall outfit
Zz'ig Ss'teenyne, my Gorn that wears a patchwork uniform that looks like a Crayola factory threw up on him
Zeus, the god. Not someone who thinks they are a god, nor a Sufficiently Advanced Alien, but the ACTUAL god in mortal form. Along with the rest of the Pantheon as his Bridge Officers.
To a lesser extent, there's:
Ruavu Deruno, my Roswell Grey shape shifter. Not so much him as his bevy of beautiful Bridge Officers who wear revealing outfits.
Byron Taggart, who has a Vulcan bridge officer who retraced the path that Mestral took on Earth and learned how to accept her emotions while not letting them rule over her (in my headcanon, Mestral HAD to learn this to accurately blend in with 20th century America).
So no, I don't play Space Barbies AT ALL.
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!
But yeah some have a bunch of outfits, some only have 2-3. Just depends on how I feel.

It's fun.
Even with the onerous restrictions in the tailor cramping my style, Space Barbie is still the one of the greatest source of fun in the game.
Hell... some of my best are, even though I main a Trill, Yang Xiao Long, Black Widow, Tanya (Red Alert 3), Sami (Advance Wars), Lucina, Yuna (FFX-2), and Erza Scarlet.
only ones i really worked any significant length of time on are my factional mains (the kdf and republic versions of which are clones of the fed, so i only had to do work for one and just copy over to the other two) and the arcturus mengsk cosplay i made, which looks really damn realistic - to me, anyway

An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
The uberMengsk? Wow... And I got a Terran Ghost outfit.
Or for minigun/boolean users, a power assisted arm brace
Or for melees, a power armored look mixing terran and assorted old kit parts with a shock glove for electrical dot on sweeping strikes
One thing I would love with a passion is if they mirrored all single side parts as it'd be little work for more possibilities
As to ship Barbie, whilst more limited, I do the same if applicable to my ships, the b'rel costume offering my kor bps more style, such as a sleek one for speed builds, a tanky well built look for epg (as epg would require more equipment) and an understated one for drain builds
I'm definitely one of those people who would pay 500z for a pack of assorted parts such as nacelles, solid colour decals (paint an entire ship red(!)) and so on (call it a salvage pack) - I would kill to be able to chop my energy weapons off my torpedo kor and bolt a set of impulse nacelles in instead before painting it fully midnight blue

I don't kitbash as much when it comes to ships myself. But I wouldn't mind having more options. I actually made my Scryer kinda look like the concept art for a Fed ship from the OLD STO pitch or whatever. Which is probably the inspiration for the Scryer in the first place. Just slap Phantom Nacelles on her and she looks a bit like that concept art.
And in all honesty... I do need more uniform slots. I'm only rockin' 7 right now. Also... I really should finish buying up all the C-Store uniforms. I almost got them all.
BUT WHY DO THE DL STORE ONES HAVE TO COST SO DANG MUCH?!

Even bought C-Store and Lobi costumes and gear for that purpose. And i'm always tinkering with them to make them look "just right". Some days I think I spend more time doing that than playing the game, especially while setting up a new crew.
Most recently, a Lukari crew to fit the event ship and reworking my Temporal Recruit and her crew as STID Section 31 (with a 250 million EC ship purchase and C-store costume repurpose !). Takes a bit of head canon gymnastics to make it fit the storyline though, if I'm in the mood to go into that much detail.
No, it's just the default
the list for dressing getting too big and they need customizable naming for regular daily uniforms, high rank officers jacket and other work uniforms, even we get festival suits.
