Devs, please, I am desperate for new Klingon costume peices!

I was going to make this as a reply to another thread just recently put up, but I think this deserves a thread of its own. Can we PLEASE get new Klingon outfits!

I don't consider myself a Fed or KDF player, just a STO player as I'm like a mother and love all my children (in this case, my toons) equally. that said I'm not going to go on and get all angry about how much more costumes Feds had a year ago and continue on getting new costumes, in fact, I think you guys should continue to add more. KDF players might hate me fore saying this but I'll even go to say that I think sashes should be available for Feds (Although, I don't think they should have as wide of a variety.

I've been patient, I went from "Hardly any costumes, oh well i'm sure in good time they'll have more" to kicking my small dog across the room whilst yelling "WHY DON'T KLINGONS GET ANY LOVE!?!?" to where I'm at now, begging, as sad as that is.

The first thing I want to bring up is a fix on the sashes. Maybe others will disagree, but i think the sashes should go over the shoulder pads, I can understand how this would be difficult though as not only do the sash have to scale with the character size, but it would also have to scale with whatever shoulder pads they choose. now to actual costume requests that I've come up with and have seen mentioned in other threads. I'd also like to see options to be able to change the colors of of the different pieces of our sashes. There's a sash you get at LG that just doesn't look right on a majority of uniform colors and I think that in itself restricts KDF players options even more.

Coats: We see other Klingons where them in game and I want one! In fact, before I even made my first KDF toon i was thinking "Yeah, my klinks gonna look awesome in one of those coats" when I saw npcs wearing them on the Fed side, but then I actually start making my toon and see only like 2 costume options (yeah, that's probably an exaggeration, but Klingons do have a ridiculously low amount of costume options).

We should get robes and cloaks with HOODS as well, not just for the klingons though, but for the off duty Fed outfits as well so the rpers can style their wise Vulcans in those awesome white robes and hoods.

Dresses for the Females

This cool female outfit, shoulder pads and all.

People in the other thread also mentioned different hairstyles, including Worfs hairstyles in both TNG and DS9. As well as Klaa's hairdo and sleeveless vest (Which was another huge disappointment for me when I first customized my KDF toon).

That's all i have for now, if anybody else has any other ideas or pictures, please share!

Lets get more customization for KDF, STO is more than a year into it's life, it's time klingons get more costumes!

Qap'la!

    I concur.
    1) The long coat that some of the NPC's have.
    2) a KDF Maco outfit (easy to imagine IMHO)
    3) KDF "addon's" (like a Batleth hanging on your back, holstered distrupters)
    4) The "Big Hair" Klingon from ST5

    All of this sounds great, but I really want that "big hair" option.:)

    There are some really really basic things that need to be added Klingon side. By 'basic' I mean that nearly every canon Klingon we've ever said had them as part of his uniform:

    1) Fingerless Gloves
    2) Over the Knee/Knee-High Boots for Males
    3) 'Big Hair' Hairstyle

    Hairstyles in general are needed and would seem to bring a relatively quick return on a relatively small time investment.

    I couldn't agree more.

    The KDF hasn't been handled well at all.

    I keep hoping that the devs have a full complement of costumes and episodes that are almost finished and they're just waiting for a big overhaul to drop it all in game.

    As nice as that sounds......... I have to admit that after a full year of waiting, hope is fading...............

    Perfect example.......

    Where is the cape that was supposed to go with the 200 day vet reward shoulder pads?

    For the amount of time we've waited for it, the thing should be some kind of super game changing, amazingly awesome, rainbow cape of sparkly insta death, otherwise there's no reason it should have taken this long.....

    And the KDF hair options.......

    dreads, dreads, and more dreads........

    The KDF is in desperate need of a new stylist.....SERIOUSLY

    I'm guessing that the only way we'll ever get the things we want.......a Klingon FE series.If it means we have to endure Feds in Klingon space,so be it! :( We will strike at the heart of the Federation when we have our goodies!:D

    if I rmemeber correctly, DStahl did say something about klingon uniforms in a Engineering report. Once they get the gorn update do their liking, they will be releasing this to make way for some new uniforms. But all that is on hold till they fix the gorn graphic issues on the new models.

    My apologies for having the appropriate link but anyone can go look this up.

    Yes! I was honestly baffled when creating my KDF toon that they had dreads and no big hair, maybe I haven't watched enough Trek but i don't remember any Klingon male having dreads. I always remembered them by their messy long hair.

    I think a costume of long johns would be perfect for those klinks secure in their honor.

    As for good klingon pieces? what about the klingon ambassadors outfit from Star Trek IV? The belt was cool. and for some reason I remember a Star trek comic where the round bit near the shoulder held a bomb, which would be a cool little extra, (one use grenade).

    I agree with the OP. The KDF Tailors need some serious love. For starters, all the KDF should have access to all the KDF clothes. Specifically Orion and Nausicaan gear should be wearable by all KDF members.

    I like my Sash under my should pad, so I'm ok with that, but I've no problem if "over the shoulder pad" was an Option for others. We should be able to change the sash colors. Also, sash over Left or Right shoulder should be an Option.

    Long coats as seen in the game are a must. Robers, cloaks, hoods? Yes, yes, yes. And we definitely need more/better hairstyles. I mean c'mon! Where are Worf and B'elanna Torres' dos?

    3) 'Big Hair' Hairstyle
    Yes, yes, yes. Especially the fingerless gloves.

    I'd also like to see at least one set of "basic boots" that are not knee-high spiked stompy boots. My Orion females especially long for a shoe that's more practical than a sandal, but isn't something from a heavy metal glam rock KISS video. The Fed "combat boot" or even their "leather boot" would be fine. Also I'd like access to the two long Fed TOS boots.

    I like these! Make is so!
    ...Where is the cape that was supposed to go with the 200 day vet reward shoulder pads?
    That's a good question. It would be nice if the KDF got a 100-day "combadge-like-equivalent" item, and where's that cape we were supposed to have?

    I'd also like to see KDF get access to "Off Duty" clothing, especially the Mercenary uniforms. And yes, I would want this after they get rid of the whole On/Off duty costume slot mess.

    Also, the KDF Tailor color pallet needs to include more colors. I think the violets and greens especially are missing, but more/better/brighter reds and blues would be great. Shades of Grey, Black, and Brown are great, but not every KDF member is a dour Klingon, there are other races too...

    Too bad we will probably only see these items in the C-Store, even though they are already in the game. (Please don't pull the "NPC clothes are different PC clothes" argument)

    I want all of the above for KDF!

    We also need Finger Gloves:

    Torres in Klingon Uniform

    EDIT: Was this thread moved to the Klingon Gamplay section where it will have less visibility? Starfleet uniform requests get to stay in Star Trek Online Discussion without being moved. What's up with that mods?
    (And I apologize if the thread was not moved but I'm assuming this was the case.)

    My thoughts exactly, apparently you can have 12 discussions on the Feds T5 Connie, but nothing about the lack of Klingon customization that's been requested for over a year now.

    I've been a little disappointed that more costume pieces haven't been released for the Klingons while uniform after uniform is released in the C-store for the Federation. If the Gorn customization is what is holding things up for the Klingons, then I'd like to see them finish it off. I understand that they want to make race specific uniforms for the various Klingon races, but that hasn't happened either. I hope we see the next part of the Klingon veteran shoulder pads at 500 days, but I doubt it.

    I'd really like to see the Commander's jacket from Star Trek III.

    No, we won't, because they can't push it any further than they did with the Fed females due to ESRB ratings requirements.

    No, No, NO!!! There is SO much Fed stuf that needs to be put in place before the KDF get some of the basics. Like, the "going to grab some ice cream" uniform, and the "remember that obscure item in TOS episode 39" piece, as well as whatever whim the FEDs come up with.

    So just sit back, relax, and work on your form as you punt your small dog across the room. Fortunately the small dog that lives with me belkongs to my wife, so my Australian Cattle Dog and Rhodisian Rideback laugh their butts off when he flys by.

    Serioulsy!! YES, lets get some stuff going Devs, Please.
