The Tailor Needs Serious Work

The new look for the Tailor UI is great, I still mainly use the older system with the Advanced tab, but overall it's a nicer experience.

However, there are many many issues that need to be resolved.

The Alien Creator is still missing lots of components, and there's no rhyme or reason to which ones are unavailable; for example, there's Yridian forehead detail, and Yridian nose detail, but the ears and base complexion used on the game's NPC Yridians aren't there.

On top of the randomly missing options, there are copious amounts of bugs or questionable design decisions regarding which items have access to which colour palettes, what skintones some races have access to(for example; no greyish tone for Remans), and what seem to be random links between two different items which, if selected together, must use the same colours, and changing one changes the other - in the same manner as eyebrows and hair colour on some species(another inconsistency; some races can choose hair and eyebrow colour separately, some cannot).

Putting aside the one or two minor flaws with the core system which would probably take an engine rewrite to fix(like being unable to apply both an alien face texture and an aged complexion at the same time), and all the normal requests for more clothes, more variety for KDF, yadda yadda yadda; what the tailor needs most right now is a coherence and bugfixing pass. Someone needs to sit down and systematically go through the options, adding in things that are missing, expanding options and colours where appropriate, and just generally fixing the odd wee bugs that mar an otherwise great system.

On the remote chance that a dev actually reads this, please try and make it happen, even if it's just a slow-burn project that gets worked on as and when, get started, and let us know about any progress you make.

    Give aliens tails/alt leg types!

    Or at least tails (furry and other options), patterns that extend PAST the neck. (Trills are the only race that get this, across the entire tailor system).

    I know some would like having head similar to the gorn available for aliens. Or KDF side being able to access the race-specific gear like Naus armor, orion outfits...
