Yep all my BOFFs, that can be changed, are in the Enterprise era uniform. They have been since I got it.
What I meant to say is offduty. Still waiting for one of my crews on the klingon side to wear all mercenary wear.

If I want a Jem Hadar Soldier in a Bajoran Outfit, I should be allowed.
If I want a Reman (KDF Side) in Klingon Military Clothing, I should be allowed.
If I want a Voth (Fed Side) in a Starfleet Uniform, I should be allowed.
etc
Cryptic has already destroyed Trek lore by allowing us to Fly Tholian, Temporal and (soon to be) Undine ships. If we can't dress up some additional Bridge Officers, it's a poor job.
That always dependent on the zen outfit.
The "off duty" marked outfits could not be applied (aside from the very beginning when that uniform was released, and that was a bug/unintentional and "fixed" soon) to BOs, although its hard to understand why clothes like the Mercanary set ended up Off duty.
Same for the "Khan" outfit. Techically that does neither work as "off duty" nor as uniform (who would run around that way in his free time?^^)
Also I'd still like to see a lot of the outfits from c-store being available cross faction. Stuff like the seven of nine suit or... well anything not uniform.
Or even some uniforms, I mean mirror universe uniforms for example do not make any sense in the federation, but since they are there (and nice) why not opening em for everybody?
Well its good to hear that the Omgea visuals can finally be applied to bos. Waited for that since those sets were released.
I'd still favor the Amror visuals being available in the current "disable/enable" way additionally.
EDIT: and yes, i've been back to mess with the tailor alot since i made this thread, theres just so many goodies to mess with
(if so, I'm going full armor)

Absolutely. I was completely stunned when I got a BOff from the fleet embassy and saw that they were stuck with the godawful Rom Repub uniform.
Just with the gloves it seems...
Unless the Be'ves armor requires the costume unlock for completing all elite optionals, then it is not on Tribble.
afraid not. it's the same as captain uniforms, in you have to select it. (eg. MACO, OMEGA, VOTH, UNIFORM, OFF-DUTY)
Yeah it was Cryptic that put Kirk in a BOP, and Sisko in a Bug :rolleyes:
Neither of those vessels were mass acquired by the Ferengi, and weren't mass flown by Starfleet and Imperial officers alike. This is a mute point anyway, the bigger picture is that we can't mix and match our uniforms with unique bridges officers yet we can fly a bunch of alien starships that aren't specific to our faction.
There was a DS9 episode with a young Jem Hadar; in said episode that young Jem Hadar temporarily wore the Bajoran Milta Uniform, so by your logic here, we should already have that option because it's been seen on screen. :rolleyes:
Edit: I'm not complaining so much that we are able to fly alien vessels, I'm complaining that we can't customize certain bridge officers.
Damn damn DAMN

A single white raven proves the existence of white ravens. Aka: Kirk and Sisko proved that canon supports flying other races' ships.
If by that you're referring to those fugly Embassy boffs, then I heartily agree!
I'm on about all of them. The Embassy Boffs, the FE Boffs, the Reputation Boffs, the Mission Reward Boffs and the KDF Marauding Boffs ... have I missed any?
One of the more important things with any MMO is customization; the ability to stand out from everyone else and do/be your own thing. I can't understand the reason why Cryptic would need to cut us off from modifying these boffs like they have done.
There's even less excuse for the FE Reman and Embassy Romulans cause we've got their models, fully functional, already.
It baffles the mind.
Honestly that depends on the BO.
I would not want Cryptic to waste resources on making one-shots the Jem'Hadar or Breen customizable. Thats a lot of work for just one BO, since their options had to be created from the scratch.
BOs like the Reman or the Embassy Romulan... well there ARE already all assets. There are fully customizable remans and romulans -> romulan faction. They just had to apply that to those bos, that should definitely happen.
Considering the models are already in game though, I can't see how allowing the morphing of them would be that much of a challenge. Some uniform parts should also easily work out.
But yeah, there's no excuse for not being able to use the Romulan/Reman options.
Zactly! It's just a matter of toggling 1 single 'changeable' flag!
And the worst part is, you have em trained by other Captains, and those Embassy boffs start losing body parts.
Of course that would be nice.
But especially in STO you have to wage. The development resources are limited. Most of it goes into c-store TRIBBLE, not into already established stuff. So what is more important to fix: The visual costumisation of a breen bo that is available once a year and few people use or the galaxy that many people use?
Creating even half a dozen options for those is a lot of work that is desperately needed elsewhere and ultimately.... doesnt really help much. Especially the Breen is completely unique.
I think the Jem'Hadar would be a bit easier... he's just an alien with that costume (that is tied with the Mark XII Jem'Hadar armor, too) so its probably easier to make him customizable.
Still, whilst I can't speak for everyone, I would actually use these unique boffs if they came with other options. As it is, I don't use them. I'm sure many people would assign them to their crews more so if they were different from the next person.
Hell, even if Cryptic released a c-store pack named 'FE Boff Costume Options' for 500zen or something, it would be a start. They'd make a bit of cash out of it, and we'd all be happier.
...whilst they're at it, they can give us a bloody Cardassian too. :P
The Breen solution would be an easy set of presets. Three variants of the helmet with visor colour options, then some variants of the costume. Simple, yet effective.
normal text = me speaking as fellow formite
colored text = mod mode
I have a pretty clear idea what SHOULD happen with BOs, unique or not, but thats for another topic.
Just now we rarely see the BOs anyway so I think any costume effort that is more then unlocking already existing stuff is wasted.
And the GX, that only proves my point...
And for the cardassians... well I have a captain who is Cardassian on occasion^^Also some BOs^^
Thats why we have aliens
That means creating 3 new helmets and "some" new variants of the costume.
How many new C-Store costumes have you seen recently in general?
KDF still has only ONE C-Store costume and a ridiculously bad choice of "natural" costumes in four years... so... it doesnt seem that "simple" to just add 3 hemets and a few variants for ONE bridge officer..
