    KDF aligned Roms can't wear the Korath Unform either. As for why, I have no idea. If I had to guess, maybe Cryptic want's to and a unique Romulan time uniform? I dunno though, it's just a guess.

    Same answer as for any other fed and most kdf uniforms, cause romulans are just allies of those factions not members.
    It's not my fault if you feel trolled by my Disco ball... Sorry'boutit.

    So, riddle me this then, why *can* I wear the Temporal Suit just fine?! Makes no sense whatsoever.

    Its cross faction as far as i'm aware, it can be worn by any, just like the Voth uniform, or the winter event jackets

    Yeah, missing the point, though. :) The question is, why can the suit for the other half of the Temporal ships (the Wells) *not* be worn by Roms?!

    Because it's faction specific. Just like the klingon temporal uniform. :rolleyes:

    Because Cryptic are to lazy to fix the 273 (and counting) Costume bugs/glitches/incompatibilities/errors and stupid, pointless restrictions in STO?

    Why is my Romulan toon STILL invisible when wearing the Solonae Sentinel Enviro Suit?
    Why can't my KDF Aligned Rom wear Honor Guard Armor without Glitches/missing pieces?
    Why can't my Rom toon wear half the non-Starfleet outfits in game (that I have purchased!)?
    Why do Romulan toons forget how to make purple dye once they "ally" with the KDF?
    Why do Romulan BoFF's even care what their former Captain's alignment was went I buy them?

    ... Should I continue?

    Oh wait ... we got 3 new face meshes ... Well that fixes everything I guess ... Perhaps we'll forget about all the other stuff, because we have these 3 new options ...
    Oh, hoho hohhhhh, Oh,, hoho, hohhhhh

    This isn't a bug though. The wells uniform is simply not intended for romulans.

    Never claimed it was old chap ... Re-read my post, ,most especially the part about stupid, pointless restrictions ...

    In all honesty, with the amount of non canon equipment and ships in this game, it's laughable (laugh, because if you didn't you would probably want to slam your keyboard through your monitor in anger) that there aere any costume restrictions at all in this game. With the possible exception of actual canon Starfleelt Uniforms, all other clothes/uniforms/outfits should be open to all races/factions/classes and ALL C-Store items should be available to ALL characters regardless.

    I honestly think that Cryptic was going to make a unique time uniform for Romulans, but time constraints prevented it. They did make a unique timeship after all.

    Because it's Cryptic.

    People here are saying that they can't wear the uniforms because the Romulans aren't official members of the Federation (thus they shouldn't be able to wear the Oddysey/Wells Uniform); I fear these people have forgot that any sort of logic has already been destroyed by the Devs that be.

    Romulans can't wear Federation/Klingon Uniforms ... but they CAN fly Tholian, Undine and Dominion Ships. :rolleyes:

    The wells uniform is a cannon starfleet uniform.

    Temporal jumpsuit is a canon Star Fleet uniform too (which *can* be worn by Roms).

    lol, not really. IT is just a suit used in a few episodes from Enterprise. Thats all. Its not canon at all.

    And that's precisely what makes it canon. Doh. :P

    I think the real reason has nothing to do with canon. Rather, the temporal jumpsuit is just that: a generic suit for temporal ships. The Wells suit, however, is to be donned for the specific Federation Wells variant of the temporal ships (vs. the R’Mor Temporal Science Vessel, meant for Romulans).

    Still, STO-wise, there's no good reason, whatsoever, why Roms shouldn't be able to wear it, as we're already flying everything alien that isn't bolted down to begin with.

    You're really not getting it.
