    I wouldn't remove the Orion female costume. But I would fix it where people couldn't use it to get around Cryptic's prohibition on the matter. The outfit was meant to be worn with a loin cloth, after all.

    Like a bunch of dudes on the internet are gonna do things as intended.

    Honestly there simply is no excuse NOT to have swimwear wearable off risa.
    Not when we are flying around in alien non-faction ships and don't have any semblance of a dress code.
    In fact peopel running around in swimwear is actually more canon, as there is such a thing as a "holodeck".
    And I can't even begin to count the number of episodes where crewmembers would waltz casually through the corridoors wearing recreational non-regulation clothing.

    In fact being in uniform was only a requirement when you were "on duty".
    So let people wear what they want.

    And funny enough, despite the skimpy outfits currently available i see more people properly dressed than not.

    This guy knows what hes talking about ^^ And I noticed the same thing to. I see more very cool creative full uniforms than skimpy outfits. And also you make a good point, we are not on duty every second of every day.

    and it's not like the Orion bikinis add anything to the game.

    Orion bikinis add the same as the TNG uniform. Is canon.. now, MACO outfit, Omega, or Dyson Armour are not canon and what they add to the game?

    You see, all depends on the perspective. To me, a canon uniform it means a lot, to others, is a ship and others a set item.

    Is more canon a female on bikini on ESD than a Starfleet captain with the Dyson armor.

    Is not just up to you (or me) to decide what the game should have or not.

    I am all for more "liberal" uniform options(see my thread on the Skant) but allowing everyone to wear swimwear in a major space station like ESD would just be over-the-top

    These are Major Hubs for Starfleet - they would not have the same dress code as the beach. Even on the starships I don't think there is a single episode of someone running down the hall in a speedo or Bikini on their way to the holodeck.

    As I said in the other thread - if they are going to restrict them to Risa then there is no reason that they cannot allow them on ALL private maps:

    Fleet Holdings
    Bridges
    Starship Interiors
    Foundry maps

    This does not stop anyone from roleplaying anything they want on their own ship, in their own fleet, or on a foundry set-up of a space station if they want.

    It's also best to ask for something reasonable - asking for them on ALL private maps is much more likely to get approval from Cryptic then asking for them everywhere.

    No more over the top than allow them to use the Dyson or Hirogen armour.. why is the Bikini worst? Or lets go even beyond, why is ok that you can use a Tal Shiar Ship on the Sol System but a Bikini is bad?

    I am a Star Trek fan, I play this game just because it have the Star Trek name, and to me, is more insulting an Star Fleet Admiral wearing a Hirogen Armour in the Academy than a summer outfit.

    Honestly, "its canon" is the weakest point for suggesting an item to be added there is in my personal opinion.

    And if we are allowed to wear Formal dresses while fighting the Borg, then the whole concept of On Duty Uniforms has absolutely no meaning in this game. Although, I would doubt any Starfleet Officer on any Star Trek episode to wear some of the stuff that we wear while on duty.

    Agree, then stop complaining about Bikinis in ESD. And not just Bikinis (I am not particularly interesting in that), is anything.. when they allowed us to use non faction ships or non faction costumes, then it was all gone.

    Exactly my point.. the same goes with Hirogen Armour, Dyson costumes, and all those outfits in the ESD.

    STF ground sets would make sense on ESD. After all, they are the same as Army personnel wearing their equipment at Army HQ. Doesn't make sense on Risa since if someone is wearing Dyson Heavy Armour, then you better be running for home ASAP since **** is about to happen.

    I can confirm this is the same case in SWTOR and TSW. Skimpy outfits for both male and female are available in those games, and while a few players do wear them in public areas, the huge majority still wear the "proper uniform".

    I really don't understand the resistance on providing people options to get them to dress their characters the way they want...other than forcing their beliefs upon others... :rolleyes:

    Can confirm. I see countless people wearing the mirror thigh high boots, yet they're still wearing the more modest tops. Even I, champion of fanservice, prophet of William Ware Theiss, judge of skimpy costumes, king of bared flesh has is crew of Orion Girls.....


    .....in the Korath Uniform.

    Yes, beacose I guess is really normal they go like this at the Armies HQ.

    And I guess we can see a lot of spetsnaz wearing US army uniforms in the Russian HQ. Because we can see Stare fleet Officers with enemies outfits.

    Human Captain with Hirogen Armour in ESD is fine, but Human Captain in Bikini in ESD is the end of the world.

    Apparently Swimwear is in it's own category, separate from uniforms or off duty. And it takes 14,000 lolnuts to get them all.

    Someone get me an undead monkey. I want to shoot something.

    Oh for the love of... what? It was 600 Lohlunuts for the outfits last year. 1000 was reserved for the top of the line jetpacks.

    So now they're making us farm more nuts for more outfits, plus a new hoverboard? I know, not making us do anything, but come on...

    I've been thinking of deleting my fourth character so I'm not tempted to try to do these daily grind events four times. Cryptic is doing nothing but validating this temptation.

    At least the jetpacks actually made sense since it was strictly a technical limitation with map design that kept them isolated to Risa.

    They could have worked on the other maps if they eliminated its vertical movement on the other maps. I was hoping the Floaters would be able to replace by Frosted Boots with increased speed and better control.

    I wish I could say otherwise, but yeah, I don't see any reason too. :(

    This isn't the issue. The problem is that most maps don't have tops, as you aren't supposed to fly above where you can jump.

    You haven't show me where I said, "This should be in-game because it is canon."

    Until then, not gonna work :).

    TAS isn't canon; gene said so

    (not my opinion, btw, before i get jumped on by the rabid masses; i consider anything shown onscreen canon, animated or not)

    What is so hard to understand about eliminated its vertical movement? So on ESD, the Floater would just hover a foot above the ground or whatever its minimum height is. So you would never be able to fly above where you can jump.

    "Them all"? How many are there and what do they cost individually?

    I don't want to collect them all, I just want one of a color that best suits the character in question. :\

    From what I've seen on tribble they range from 500 - 2000 and there's something like 20 total swimsuits?

    Don't quote me on any of that though.
