    I love Cryptic logic. Add chess tables but no chess game. Add racing uniforms but no racing. Add Starbases with no real function. What'll they think of next! :D

    AWESOME!!!

    I don't normally get too excited about single costumes in the C-Store but I am ALL ABOUT these!

    I have a fascimile of these using the AGT uni as a flight suit for small craft stuff, but I will definitely be picking up the real deal on thursday

    Yet more Fed fluff... looks like I won't be spending any Zen/Money this week.

    There's so much I want to say but it's clear Cryptic doesn't care or value those of us that play KDF and want KDF content.

    How in the flying funk is this coming out before a ripped TOS uniform?

    Looks good, though.

    They look very nice, and I remember that show on Voyager. However at this time, I have no clue on how to use this. So for now I will pass until I can figure out a more proper use.

    Howabout "not as intended."

    I can see using those pants with my S1 Admiral uniform top and DS9 Admiral belt.

    Whenever they release uniforms, I see pieces I can use.

    Recolor the top. Make the white part black, the red part gold, and put the grey and black parts in department colors.

    If I could do that with, say, a Parallels/Future Imperfect combadge and Yesterday's Enterprise phaser harness, with Bajoran pants and Section 31 boots... There's a nifty "alternate war-like Federation" costume.

    And I'll second that. (Or is it third that?) ;)

    KDF content. KDF content. KDF content.

    C'mon Perfect World. I bought Zen this past weekend. Time to release quality KDF items in the C-store.

    Not going to be buying anymore Federation costume pieces until they give the KDF something new. Anything new. The last (how many?) c - store additions have all been federation (except the ridiculous expensive suit - which was for both).

    So, beautiful new costume set.
    Totally worth buying and using.

    Not getting my money for it, until the KDF gets some attention.

    Peace, Love and Strawberries

    Indeed. I have money too, Cryptic. Give me a reason to spend it.

    racing uniforms now? this is embarassing. there isn't even anything race related in the game. surely there were better things that those development resources could have been used for

    and they look somewhat tacky

    And the uniforms are canon so it's not like Cryptic just invented these.

    The uniforms look really nice and cool. And the price is good too. Great work, devs!


    But...


    Really... I am really tired to asking every post of every new FED product about if PW/Crypt/CBS/Anyone make any new KDF Content...

    Now I am to the point to stop to buy any FED product because I don't need them, I can't use in the KDF toons, I can pay for any FED product but because the lack of content to KDF faction, for my personal option, I don't want to spend any single ZEN (converted or taken paying real money) on FED content.

    Now I am wanting to cancel my gold subscription, because this don't give enough reasons to keep paying for this, plus the KDF content are really low and I see no reason to buy anything to FED if I want to play KDF.

    The racer suit is really cool and is a good choice to buy, but I want to spend my money in the KDF side, not FED today.

    A boring one at that! There are so many canon uniforms (Fed and KDF side) that people would prefer over these.

    You mean the Wrath of Kahn uniforms? Already there. The medal format is different, is all.

    Instead of spending time and resources on the faction that already has a page of uniforms, ships, and items, can we see some progress on the KDF?

    Just from a business side, that gives two factions for players to spend money on instead of one... or none.

    I personally already have the things I want on my fed, but would like to see some new things for the KDF... content included. I for one won't be buying these, or any other uniforms, at these prices, for the Federation.

    Now everyone open a support ticket under "star trek online", "Customer Support", "missing Items" :p

    If we never find any new content in the C-Store or in the game, at least we have a better place to request any "missing" KDF item in the C-store :P

    I had to read that more than once. I thought the punchline was "Customer Support." Silly me.

    When Gre'thor freezes over I guess... LOL I have mostly KDF toons but I will most likely never see anything for them unless its rehashed per character stuff like the EV suits which I don't do the tholian stuff much because rewards are too low... if they had it account wide I might get it but bleh they use that as their info on whether or not to make KDF stuff... So be it.

    Probably the next time Cryptic decides it's time to make less money that week. :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Ya know.. if they came with a Delta Flyer Mk II or perhaps a Booster console for Shuttles, I might have been interested.. But just the Costume? Eh I'll wait till I've gotten done unlocking other ships first.

    I am not really interested but it is nice to see Cryptic, which seemed to take a long hiatus from canon uniforms, showing a commitment to eventually getting all the on-screen uniforms into the game.

    I do think you should have better priorities though, especially:

    1. A proper suede and leather Picard jacket.

    2. TNG Skants.

    3. TNG dress uniforms (should be about three varieties)

    4. DS9/TNG Movie vests.


    Once you get these uniforms in, which made many appearances, then putting in one-off uniforms would be more appropriate.

    I would especially like to see the DS9 desert uniform.

    See, I think they ration the demanded stuff that they think will sell well. Sometimes to hold it off for better tech (ie. TNG interior should probably be bigger/have more decks so waiting until interiors had better defined functionality made sense) but also because of things like sales goals and keeping excitement up.

    If they did everything popular upfront, people would get burned out on less requested items.

    This doesn't apply to why we see so little KDF product on the store but I think they DO try to bob and weave between more and less popular releases on the store in general. In part for keeping excitement sustained (ie. they're rationing the players' goodwill towards them; wait for a dropoff in activity/positivity before releasing something popular) and in part because they have steady sales goals and want to save some good sellers as trump cards for the end of a bad quarter.

    Looks nice. Again, good work from the artists. I'm realizing that I'm not the collector that some folks are. So I'm passing on this set.

    Also, wearing a combadge does not a uniform make. IMO,
    in exactly the same spirit at Counselor Troi's outfit this costume was never a Starfleet uniform. I interpret it as more appropriate to the Off-Duty costume category. A category that I had high hopes for through the Gold Pressed Latinum store. I've come to realize this just isn't ever going to happen now.
