Fleet uniform queries?

nereid63

Good day/night/sidereal period of your choosing,

The fleet I'm part of, a comparatively small mixed Federation and Romulan group, are currently about to get our Fleet uniform unlock.

I'm trying to do a little research beforehand as to what we can, and can't do, in the field of uniform choices, in order to give some help. Googling has given me some answers, but also some contradictions, and I'm aware that some information may well be out of date, particularly since Legacy of Romulus - so, please, if I may, a couple of questions/ statements about the current state-of-play?

1. I've read that fleet uniforms can/cannot include c-store items (such as the Wrath of Khan outfit, or the 24th century Romulan padded jacket), which one's correct?
2. That fleet uniforms cannot allow a character to wear anything he/she/it could not normally wear- i.e. even if a Romulan is part of a fleet with a uniform using, for example, the Sierra jacket 5, they would be unable to wear it? I'm assuming this is the case, given how the game works in other respects, but given that the freebie Romulan outfits all seem to be such a steaming pile of Epohh, kind of hoping someone will step in and prove me wrong, since it sort of defeats the notion of 'uniform' and 'unity'.
3. The fleet uniform, once made, functions like any other modifiable present uniform, and once a character's applied it to themselves, they can customise as necessary? So no need to create a new uniform template for every rank, just create one without pips/epaulettes and streamers and let members set their own rank on it?
4. How many slots can we have? I gather male and female use two different ones, if we also have to use two more for male and female Romulans, and possibly allow for a division of tac/eng/sci for each, then maybe some sort of alternatives, are we going to run out of options?

Any answers gratefully received, and my thanks

If you want save it and put in "Uniform" tab then it can't have any C-Store/lobi/other way unlocked parts. But after it is saved and choose at tailor you can change/add anything you want.

Yeap, you must have specific part unlocked to wear it. Simple if you don't have something how you want to use it?

Fair enough on both points, and understandable.
Pity, a whole fleet in a rich dark green Wrath of Khan outfit would have been cool- but I can see why it wouldn't work.

Thank you for the response!

   correct

   Romulan cannot wear fed uniform, fed cannot wear roms uniform. Even more, romulan uniforms are bugged and you can?t use most of their uniforms, even though they may be free and unlocked for everyone. You can set it as a uniform, but trying to wear it will keep your current uniform on.

   Unless it changed recently, pips are not a part of fleet uniform, you have to put them on by yourself. Same with the fleet logo, which is kind of stupid.
4. How many slots can we have? I gather male and female use two different ones, if we also have to use two more for male and female Romulans, and possibly allow for a division of tac/eng/sci for each, then maybe some sort of alternatives, are we going to run out of options?
   I think that we have 12 slots, I?ll check that for you when I get back to the game.

Hope it helps

I'm not sure which "fleet uniform" you're talking about, so...

The Fleet Uniform unlock through the Starbase upgrade project is not the same as the generic fleet uniforms you can setup for the fleet. Rather, it is just a regular uniform your fleet members can buy with Dilithium. It might look nice, but you technically cannot set it as a fleet uniform.

The generic fleet uniforms are unlocked by every fleet at the moment that fleet is created. You can have up to six of these fleet uniforms, but they can only consist of costume items every new character has unlocked in the tailor by default. As previously mentioned, this also means no rank, combadges, etc.
