    Now, now be nice. It's makes those fed ships go faster, and worth the zen they'll pay for them.

    Very nice looking. I am a huge Voyager fan, so thanks! Hopefully this uniform means that there is some type of Shuttle Race in the works! Oh that would be fun!

    Now we just need races to justify the use of these uniforms.

    Hopefully we can get the TNG skant uniform soon.

    Exactly (on both points). With most Fed characters being admirals, I'd also like to see more of the canon admiral jackets, e.g. the gold-trimmed AGT version worn by Admiral Janeway from VOY: Endgame or Admiral Riker's from TNG: All Good Things. Not to forget the ENT-era... Wow, I didn't realize until now how many potentially cool uniform options are still out there. :cool:

    In my opinion, that doesn't count, for it is so far from a "race" that it really isn't one in my eyes. Besides, it is nothing like the Voyager race. The race in the Voyager series is the type of Race I would like to see come with these Uniforms.

    Check out my signature image, the AGT uniforms have existed in STO for a long time now. I LOVE that uniform! :) Edit: nvm, I ssee now you're talking about the admiral jackets. My bad.

    I would like to see better female skirts that fit well with other uniform pieces as well as skants. The two free skirts we have now, their color shades do not match the shading of other uniform pieces very well at all.

    Sorry, but Tour The Galaxy is to a starship race what my daily commute to and from work is to NASCAR. :P

    That said, an honest-to-the-Prophets starship or small-craft race (complete with timing, rewards for actually winning or placing high as opposed to just competing, maybe even a points system and "season" leaderboard, etc.) would be kinda awesome.

    I'm not sure what the fascination is with races. I mean, heck, half the people playing the game can't even do the time-warp process in the Devidian FE. :)
    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.

    Mostly because whenever I do it, when approaching the 4th ring, regardless of whether I go through the ring or not, it always 'fails' me ;) Glad they added the auto option, otherwise I'd never be able to finish it

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    I've mentioned a few times that I felt the Star Trek: Voyager series wasn't getting enough in-game assets as well, so for that I am extremely happy; however, why are uniforms such as this not updated in the Foundry still?

    There is a very simple way to do it easily without failing. Just hold both of your mouse buttons down and use the mouse to aim through the rings and you'll pretty much always never fail Lol :D

    Well the racing uniform help but the thing that will really make it go faster is to paint the ship a violet color because it has a higher light frequency. (If you can see it first it must be faster)
    :)

    If you prefer distance over speed then go for red. The longer wave length increases gas mileage.

    Uhh... that's not actually how light works you know :P

    Not bad, but I really think the KDF could use some more content too.

    You only write that because your wife checks everything you post in these forums. Secretly, you rush of to buy it the moment she looks in the other direction. :P:D

    550 Zen just for some pants and an ugly jacket?

    Yeah... no...

    How about some KDF outfits for a change? Like the dresses Duras sisters wore? FEDs did get several female only uniforms, like 7of9, Troi or T'Pol outfits, so how about these for the KDF?

    You are wrong, Noob. This clothing doesn't have anything to do with game content, becuase there are different developers specialized in different departments.

    Whether the environment artist does anything new or not will not impact the game code masters.

    Why would a single programmer have been involved in this?

    Artists don't write the code, and coders don't do the art; with very limited exceptions.

    Well... they ARE costume artists. It's kinda what they're paid for. Complain to the ship Artists if you want more ships, and the content artists if you want more story content. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the Game.

    At least these aren't 700 Zen for a per character unlock, right?

    Since i saw that VOY episode, i asked myself if that was an official uniform from Starfleet, or if this could be a totally new creation (like the Delta Flyer) by Tom Paris? What do you guys think? If it's an official one, what kind of uniform is it? I like to think of it like a uniform for prototype ships, since i find it unlikely that Starfleet got a special uniform for space races.

    But in the end it's up to our imagination i think. And since we can customize it, we can create nice variations. Would have been perfect for the Foundry... hint... hint... ;)

    And i totally agree on the Duras Sisters Outfit for the KDF. That would really be a treat, and i bet it would sell well.

    I played around with these uniforms in the tailor...I found the textures to be kinda lame. The Season 1 TNG Admiral is far superior. This is certainly NOT worth 550 Zen.
