Question about Omega/MACO Mk XII Operational armor visuals

I've got a question about the Task Force Omega reputation Mk XII armor sets, both Omega and M.A.C.O.. How do I do I unlock the Operational armor visuals?

Now I thought I knew the answer to this, which was to earn accolades M.A.C.O Commando, Omega Force Operative and M.A.C.O Team Commander.

Then the tailor would magically offer you the Operative armor options. Well that was wrong and someone in game told me I needed to unlock the armor variant in Task Force Omega reputation system. So I assumed that referred to the Adapted rep project and I unlocked the M.A.C.O. Adapted Commando rep and earned that accolade too.

Still no joy. Now I'm just completely baffled. Please tell me what I'm missing?

I have all the items for the Omega Force and M.A.C.O. Mk XII armor 3-piece sets. I go ahead and equip them, then go talk to the Tailor and ... nothing.

I've scoured my lists of available Task Force Omega reputation projects and have nothing that offers any visual unlocks.

I don't know if this is relevant but I had all my armor pieces and 5 out of 6 of my STFE optionals completed prior to S7. That ol'school, pray for a Borg prototype to drop age of game play. I earned IGE optional after launch of S8. I took a break from the game and having come back I'm frankly ready to sport my new shoulder pads (love the Omega flat pads look, with the extra hand grenades on the torso), but I can't figure the darn thing out.

The forums are full of smart, insightful and helpful STO fans (usually), so I'm hoping ya'll might see fit to help sort me out. Thanks!

    If i remember right, you need to also complete a new project that will appear once you have unlocked the 3 pieces.

    Now, there are several bugs concerning the maco visuals, so maybe you should go to the universal maco costume bug post in the forums. All the bugs about maco visuals are there.

    I will look for this post you mentioned for I'm absolutely sure I don't have any new rep projects. I had heard that and have look repeatedly for anything in Task Force Omega that seem related to costumes, and nothing there. Thx

    Double check the Head tab of the tailor and see if there is a dropdown for Uniform/Off Duty. The omega and maco parts are 'activated' in that dropdown and then you can go customize it on the Uniform tab.

    If you had the costume pre existing, you may need to remove it and recreate it before the new options become available. Sometimes these costume unlocks aren't retroactive to existing costumes for some reason, so you need to create a new one to make it recheck the options you're supposed to have.

    I recently unlogged MACO and Omega and I can assure you, you have to do a reputation project. When you have three pieces of the same mark, there should be a project available. Take a good look. I missed them at first too.

    I have a question myself about the tailor unlocks. Can you mix and match different parts, say, parts of the Voth set with the Omega and Hirogen?

    Not anymore. There was a console command which let one mix and match virtually anything in the tailor (maco helmet, formal dress and tos skirt anyone?) but cryptic made that one go the way of the dodo a long time ago :(

    From what I can tell you haven't earned your Maco elite commander accolade, the one awarded for completion of all elite optionals, without this and the shadow force operative I believe it will not unlock a tier 3 costume project for you.

    This has also been an ongoing issue for quite some time, as some pre-S7 toons became bugged.
