Thanks for this well-documented post! The reason why the shoulder pads were adjusted, was to allow for more bulky uppers to fit with them. But, your post has us looking at this issue again. There's no decision at this time - but we will let you what happens soon.
Thank you so very much for this reply. In the past year I've posted three threads on the topic and always felt they were ignored/buried under other issues. Consideration is more than I dared hope for.
As for your explanation... yes, that's what I figured out too.
The problem is more that we have 3 models of puffy shouldered uppers, while the majority of the rest of our uppers are the normal ones that the cloth loops end up floating over.
Given a choice, I would've much prefered sticking with the former "normal" dual shoulderpads and accepted clipping on the TNG puffy-shoulders if I used the two at the same time. Or add to the list a choice of shoulderpads between normal and "large"; or only allow the "large" version to be equipped when a TNG upper is selected - but those are likely non-trivial issues.
Overall, my belief was that the dual shoulderpads ought to have cattered to the lowest common denominator, rather than be changed for the exception and then look wierd for 95%+ of the other romulan outfits.
If I could be so bold to make one more request to bring up with the rest of your team:
Can you please update the Photonic Bridge Officers (especially on the KDF-side) into the year 2410?
I know when the PBOff was originally released, BOffs could not wear kit costume pieces, so you guys locked-in the appearance. (At least that was the reason why the Fed-sides were locked, the KDF never had such a reason since they have no kit visuals, they just got locked because ??). Well, now we can decorate our BOffs with kits, so maybe it's time you followed the precedence set by unlocking the Romulan Embassy BOffs and finally allow us to customize our PBOffs...
Failing that, I'm mostly asking if you can upgrade the PBOff "programming" and change their holoimages out of the Sierra-04 (Fedside) and Klingon Standard (KDF) and put them into the Starfleet Officer Service Uniform (Odyssey) and Warrior's Bortasqu', respectively?
I've gone through most of my characters and changed their crews to match Thomas' Starfleet guide on the Odyssey, and when I take the PBOff on Away Team excursions, he just stands-out unsatisfactorily. KDF-side, the old Klingon Standard (sadly) looks terrible next to the spiffy new Bortasqu' threads.
I recommend if you make this requested change you require the PBOff be reclaimed, so those that like the old flava can keep it.
Anyway, thanks!
I recently re-bought :rolleyes: the Federation Science Photonic Boff. He wears the Odyssey Medical variant. In beige with blue holo-kit parts !!! :eek:
I would pay to get him back in the Sierra Uniform. The colors were less "stressfull" in the eye.

Oh, really?!? Well, I'll just have to drop and reclaim him and see if I get the new uni. Honestly, I don't mind the Sierra so much, but I especially do not like the KDF version... Hopefully the Bortascqu'd that PBOff...

Was a reason ever given why we can't customise those photonic boffs? Being able to customise them would be the best option imo, giving players the choice of whatever uniform they want. Personally I'd go with the sierra outfit over the oddy any day, but then again I'm apparently rather odd. :P
That reminds me, has there been any word on when female fed toons and boffs get the ankle length panels & pockets trousers back? They have the knee length ones, but the ankle length have been gone for maybe 18 months.

No sir, you are not odd. I loved the Sierra uniform on him, but the Oddy now... it doesnt make him unique. Especially the beige, grey, blue colors dont do him any good. And for that price, I would love to have at least an unique uniform.
I idiot dismissed my first one two years ago and bought him again recently with .. that uniform.
Since it was mentioned the Elegant hairstyle no longer had a bald spot on Romulan females, I decided to go check, and upon finding it wasn't quite fully accurate, decided to check for a place to mention it, and a few other tailor issues that still seem to active.
Elegant hairstyle (at least Romulan and Alien Female characters; and any of the following races that are able to use it - I tried them if they could, but can't remember which ones right off - of Vulcan, Human, Betazoid, Trill, Android, and Bajoran as well as Romulan and Alien) still have a small patch (smaller than before) of 'skin view' in the back, not noticeable from a distance maybe, but in the tailor, up close, or to people who are particularly observant or have certain detail issues... quite noticeable.
Also the hair that falls against the forehead and cheeks falls INTO the forehead and cheek texture unless 4 sliders are near or at Maximum width (I believe it was Forehead Slope/width and Cranium Slope/Width) far above average sizes and producing a somewhat more pointed and eggish (tilted back) shaped head than I'm used to seeing on ... you know... people.
Also, some races are still woefully absent of this hairstyle. Something I hope will be rectified if it's ever fully fixed. Ex. Orions.
The ponytail 05 with the over the shoulder hair sometimes has a similar issue on it's over the cheek hair pieces with average and narrower features.
The Female Mirror Universe Enterprise top has some texture issues along the ribs, sometimes even with very high (4-5) width chest slider. This is something that's been occurring since the nice addition of the chest width/depth and rib sliders.
Male Romulans with certain shirts (the simple shirt being foremost in my memory) and the Romulan republic belts bleeds through the buckle with stomach/waist sizes below about 1.5. Might have been 1.3 or 1.7, it's actually very hard to gauge the actual sizes due to a lack of numerical accompaniment and manual by-number adjustment, and I can't remember if it's slightly above or below the 1.5 rough mark.
On Males wearing loose long pants, Section 31 and Mercenary boots bleed through the backs of the pants rather badly. Oddly, this does not seem to happen with female Section 31 boots (forgot to check Mercenary).
Andriod and Alien eye colors (the main eye, not the irises) sometimes latch on to tattoo color configurations. Randomizing usually unlocks it (like the ship tailor issue with colors that don't work at all) but require manually resetting the officer's head data in that section.
Chest slider sizes smaller than 3, no matter how normal they might look in practically all other outfits including Orion female tops, look rather... odd in some of the swimwear... like parts are flattened out or removed and unusual straight lines take their place. The Halter swimwear is one such suit, as well as the monokini.
Romulan characters still seem to be missing several pieces of armor gear in the tailor, mostly gear pieces such as chest items and arm/leg items.
Almost forgot, Romulan height is lower than 6'6" unless aligned with KDF. It should be 6'6" to begin with.

I can understand why Photonic Boffs are unable to be customized. They are standard issue. Just like the Doctor, every single EMH mk I looks like Dr. Zimmerman and every EMH Mk II, looks like Andy ****.
What I don't understand is why Romulan Embassy BOFFs do not have access to Republic Uniforms. Is there some hard coding issue? Or was this changed and I just missed it?

The EMH's are also photonic life forms, with their own rights as sentient beings iirc. Surely that right extends to having a customizable appearance? :P
Anyway, rom embassy boffs are customizable now. I remember this because mine had a rather nice appearance (really strange for RNG boff appearance, I know) and when I logged in after that patch, he was reverted to a weird bald default look using civilian clothes. Totally lost the original appearance lol. But at least now they're customizable.

Agreed. Though they are now customizable, they still don't have access to the Republic uniform or the Fed/KDF ally uniforms which I think would make a nice addition. Weirdly though, they do gain access to any Romulan vet uniform unlocks you have. So for instance mine have access to the Romulan admiral and dress uniform options.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!
I have decided to make a Farmer for my Delta recruit
How about a costume consisting of a straw hot overalls with 1 snap not snaped and bare feet with the character having a single straw they are chewing on
A pitchfork would be awesome to complete the outfit

I wonder if this issue falls under tailor problems, but I might as well ask.
That crazy arm swinging when using pistols can be irritating. So far I haven't found the right tailor settings to reduce the arm swinging, but it would be nice if this was addressed. I'm tinkering around with upper body options, but so far I haven't had much luck.
Here's a bug that's been around forever (apologies if it's been brought up before):
The male and female Omega gear have different color palettes for the third color choice, which controls the shoulders and lower waist areas:
Note the shoulder area on the male human (in red). The corresponding area on the female human has only a 4-color palette.
The Omega uniforms color palette has always been a bit odd. You can't change the armor to any color but those four, and the other parts use the standard KDF colors. I want that armor to have more options in that area. You can actually see the armored areas on the chest in a red color when you switch to the outfit in certain cases, but then it goes straight back to those four colors when you select anything.
I've never understood all of the many color restrictions like that. NPCs can have black MACO armor with red lights, why can't we? NPCs can have different colored pieces without have the rest of the outfit automatically match them, why can't we? And so on...
The EMH's are also photonic life forms, with their own rights as sentient beings iirc. Surely that right extends to having a customizable appearance? :P
First, the Doctor is the only Photonic lifeform regarded as fully sentient and sapient with the commensurate rights. The case is still ongoing. It's the line between simulated intellience and actual artificial intelligence.
Second, pursuant to that, he still looks like Dr. Zimmerman.
Anyway, rom embassy boffs are customizable now. I remember this because mine had a rather nice appearance (really strange for RNG boff appearance, I know) and when I logged in after that patch, he was reverted to a weird bald default look using civilian clothes. Totally lost the original appearance lol. But at least now they're customizable.
Agreed. Though they are now customizable, they still don't have access to the Republic uniform or the Fed/KDF ally uniforms which I think would make a nice addition. Weirdly though, they do gain access to any Romulan vet uniform unlocks you have. So for instance mine have access to the Romulan admiral and dress uniform options.
Now that's odd. In any event, Republic exchange officer BOFFs, or Embassy BOFFs with Republic uniforms is necessary, I need it to live.

Oh, by the way, big thanks on the Romulan Republic Sleevs and Klingon braids fixes, they look great now
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
...I have noticed on two of my female toons who have the Risian shorts... that the colors are for a lack of a better word... spackled.
There are triangular blotches that cover the front and back of the shorts....
Is it sort of like big patches of skin are showing through the shorts? I noticed that on a few of my toons. When I went to the tailor, selected the costume, and clicked to modify it, the costume was fixed when the tailor editing window came up. I then "purchased" the now fixed version and they were fine.
I didn't actually have to change anything, just visited the tailor and it seemed to reset the costume to an updated/fixed version. Try that.

Very noticeable in the aiming animations, but you can even see a bit of skin in the standard standing stance. (I will try this outfit on a female boff and edit this post if they're affected too.)
Also, there are inconsistencies with the palette used by this outfit:
The upper, lower, undershirt, and feet options don't all use the same palette.
- Upper and feet use the standard KDF uniform palette
- Lower uses the Romulan uniform palette
- I forget which undershirt uses at the moment.
Makes it impossible to perfectly match the upper to the lower, although it's not too noticeable with the default shades of red (material makes them look purple) used by this outfit's preset. I tried to grab screenshots of the palettes, but I guess my bind wasn't set up right.
I'm not sure if this is the best place for this, but then I don't really know of anywhere better, so . . .
I just started a new character for the Delta Recruit event and I noticed that I cannot use the TNG Season 1 uniform on her, which I should have an account-wide unlock for. All of my existing (Fed) characters have access to this uniform. I don't have the TNG uniform pack with the Season 1 Admiral's uniform, but I did get the standard version unlocked ages ago. (It may have been some kind of promotion or reward, I think. It was way back maybe from pre-ordering, Beta, collector's ed. -- it was way back when I first started playing, which was when the game first came out.) I've had this uniform for as long as it's been in the game, I believe.
If someone could please check into this and fix it so that my new characters have access to it, it would be much appreciated!
The character affected is: Mirai@Ayradyss (I haven't yet made any other new characters, but I plan to -- I assume it will be the same on any new characters from here out, until fixed.)
Edit: Actually, after doing a little research, I think I got it from one of the free 'giveaway days.' (Similarly, I got the 'All Good Things' uniform from one of those giveaway days too.) Still, it's supposed to be an account-wide unlock, AFAIK.

There are two versions of the TNG Uniform in-game. One is the C-Store version (which was also unlocked with some versions of the store-bought game when it was originally released, as I recall). Then there's the Season 1 Uniform you're asking about. You are correct, it was a promotion, but it was from the TNG 25th Anniversary Event. It was given away as a reward for completing a small mission (go talk to a young "Season 1" Worf in the holodeck). This was a per-character unlock. It was not account-wide.
Here's the original blog, and if you scroll down, you can see where it specifically says you need to unlock this on each character:
Nope, that's not the promotion I was talking about. It appears there may have been multiple ways to obtain this. I'm pretty sure that I got it via this though:
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Nope, that's not the promotion I was talking about. It appears there may have been multiple ways to obtain this. I'm pretty sure that I got it via this though:
Well. I dunno, then. I only noted in my log that I unlocked the Ambassador during that event on 09/01/14. I went back and looked in the forums thread for that blog post (here), and I posted in it commenting that I had everything but the ship. Hmmmm... Maybe I didn't realize it was the S1 and not the C-Store TNG costume... >shrug< bummer for me then. :rolleyes:
Anyway, so I can't explain why you can't access it, because clearly they did give away the Season One TNG Uniform as Account-Wide so you should have it. Bug, I guess, yeah. Submit a ticket and add that to your post here.
Maybe stupid question, but to be sure/clear: Your new character, Mirai@Ayradyss, that's a Fed faction toon, right?
My first Delta Recruit was a Romulan, but I'll be making a KDF and Fed DR too over the next few days... I'll check to see if the S1 uni is unlocked there.
Anyone else with the TNG Season One Uniform unlocked from the 2014 event, that doesn't work on a new DR character?

In answer to your question, yes. Generally, it seems that any Zen unlocks are account wide.
In answer to your question, yes. Generally, it seems that any Zen unlocks are account wide.
Zen costumes are always account wide, that was never in question. We were discussing the TNG Season One uniform (different from the one in the C-Store) that was given away during a couple promos mentioned above.
My question was if anyone else who'd got the TNG S1 uni from the 2014 event (that's when it was event released as an account-wide unlock. Note that when originally released in 2012 it was per-character), if they were having issues using it on a Delta Recruit.

Hmm. I may have confused myself. I thought I had gotten the TNG Season 1 uniform from the Summer Giveaway I linked. But now I checked on a pre-Delta low-level Fed character that I made but never really played, and she doesn't have access to the uniform either. (And yes, Mirai is a Federation character. Doesn't hurt to make sure -- I understand.)
So . . . I'm just not really sure anymore. It was, as I said, a long time ago. (For my memory, anyway.) Maybe I had gotten the uniform earlier via the Worf mission and was then unable to claim it when the giveaway rolled around, so never got the account-wide unlock? I honestly don't know anymore. Given the amount of time, the different means to unlock and the different nature of the unlocks (character/account) it's all kind of jumbled in my head now.

I did get the TNG Romulan uniform to help me get to the bottom of this as well. As follows:

There are two versions of the TNG Uniform in-game. One is the C-Store version (which was also unlocked with some versions of the store-bought game when it was originally released, as I recall). Then there's the Season 1 Uniform you're asking about. You are correct, it was a promotion, but it was from the TNG 25th Anniversary Event. It was given away as a reward for completing a small mission (go talk to a young "Season 1" Worf in the holodeck). This was a per-character unlock. It was not account-wide.
Here's the original blog, and if you scroll down, you can see where it specifically says you need to unlock this on each character:

Well. I dunno, then. I only noted in my log that I unlocked the Ambassador during that event on 09/01/14. I went back and looked in the forums thread for that blog post (here), and I posted in it commenting that I had everything but the ship. Hmmmm... Maybe I didn't realize it was the S1 and not the C-Store TNG costume... >shrug< bummer for me then. :rolleyes:
Anyway, so I can't explain why you can't access it, because clearly they did give away the Season One TNG Uniform as Account-Wide so you should have it. Bug, I guess, yeah. Submit a ticket and add that to your post here.
Maybe stupid question, but to be sure/clear: Your new character, Mirai@Ayradyss, that's a Fed faction toon, right?
My first Delta Recruit was a Romulan, but I'll be making a KDF and Fed DR too over the next few days... I'll check to see if the S1 uni is unlocked there.
Anyone else with the TNG Season One Uniform unlocked from the 2014 event, that doesn't work on a new DR character?

Zen costumes are always account wide, that was never in question. We were discussing the TNG Season One uniform (different from the one in the C-Store) that was given away during a couple promos mentioned above.
My question was if anyone else who'd got the TNG S1 uni from the 2014 event (that's when it was event released as an account-wide unlock. Note that when originally released in 2012 it was per-character), if they were having issues using it on a Delta Recruit.

So . . . I'm just not really sure anymore. It was, as I said, a long time ago. (For my memory, anyway.) Maybe I had gotten the uniform earlier via the Worf mission and was then unable to claim it when the giveaway rolled around, so never got the account-wide unlock? I honestly don't know anymore. Given the amount of time, the different means to unlock and the different nature of the unlocks (character/account) it's all kind of jumbled in my head now.

It's not an account wide unlock. It's a per character one so you'll need to to be playing through ARC to get it.
