    Basically, your Fleet Leader(s) can set up several "Fleet Uniforms" from non-Z-Store pieces that you can then choose to wear within the Tailor customization menu. They can also set a fleet emblem that you can set in the Tailor to show on your left arm as well as replace the UFoP emblem on your ship with the Fleet Logo. Fleet uniforms cannot contain any "unlock-able" pieces but each player can change it up on their own Tailor menu to add such things. Basically, it just changes all the uniform option to what is set by your fleet leaders, allowing you to then further customize it on your own.

    Here's a couple pictures, first one is of the Fleet Screen to set up the uniforms, 2nd one shows the option to change your uniform to the fleet uniform in the Tailor.

    For the option for the fleet emblem, look for "Emblem - Character" in the Tailor menu. In the Ship Tailor menu, it will be the last option (after you switch to Advanced), and you normally have to scroll down to see that option.

    Hope that helps!

    From what I can tell, You can at a certain Starbase Tier unlock a special costume that members in your fleet can use... I can't tell you more than that at this point.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Yeah, what Anazonda said here is what I understand as well. Since I haven't yet unlocked any NPCs on my Starbase, I cannot tell you for sure though. Sounds like to me though, as Anazonda said, you'll be able to gain access to certain fleet uniform options that your Fleet has unlocked.

    Messing with uniform and skin color also seems to be much fun with many players.

    Saw a character yesterday all in green. Uniform, skin, hair, everything.

    I believe those are the Fleet Uniform options we unlock when we get to Starbase Tier III.

    However, it has yet to be seen or answered (because the question has already been asked) if we will be able to set other uniforms besides the basic Sierra and Antares uniforms (and I guess whatever klingons get by default). Unless the Fleet Uniform system is changed from what it is now, we may unlock these uniforms as a fleet to be worn by individuals, but still not be able to set those uniforms as actual "Fleet Uniforms".

    From the next patch fleet leaders can use the uniform they are wearing to make it a fleet uniform.

    A fleet uniform can be set to a C-Store item. It will just only be usable if members actually buy the item.

    This feature existed before as well. It was just disabled temporarily, I think.

    I really wish they'd lift this limitation.

    Yes, but they did not confirm that it was any uniform pieces the fleet leaders (or whatever rank authorized to set fleet uniforms) are wearing or only the standardized basic pieces.

    Do we even know what they look like yet?

    You can set a uniform to any costume piece, last I checked, but it simply won't display for members who don't own a piece.

    Same happens with skirts. If you set a uniform to a skirt, male characters' pants do not get reflected in the uniform.

    It's in the trailer that the OP is referring to. At 0:55 seconds in.

    So it's still essentially useless unless you make sure all of your fleet members have access to whatever pieces you're wearing first (which hopefully, unlocking Starbase Tier III does that)...

    I doubt TIII starbase would circumvent the need for C-Store costume sales.

    They MIGHT award the new costume to everyone in the fleet but then what happens when someone leaves?

    More than likely, the new costumes are just an individual member purchase for fleet credits.

    What happens if, say, a player in a fleet with a uniform, purchase this hypothetical C-Store uniform, but then joins a new fleet that doesn't have a uniform?

    They're just out of luck?
