    Very cool on the picture to indicate the new threads. However, Smirk, I don't exactly see where we can find out about the new regulations concerning these threads. Is that still coming?

    okay guys, seriously, how bleeding hard is it to release 720p and 1080p versions of these wallpapers? natively in these resolutions that is.....

    I think the Devblog with the info has not been posted yet but there is a thread on Reddit with the color info.

    I found that after I spent hours the other day meticulously matching colors on all my characters. I should browse reddit more.

    I would very much like instructions on how to get those belts.

    I have a concern.

    If the Odyssey uniform is now the "official" Starfleet uniform how is it going to feel to a brand new player once they realize that the "official" Starfleet uniform - worn by nearly every NPC in the game - is something they don't have access to right away?

    In my opinion, they're going to feel like a second class citizen.

    (Sure, it could be argued from a story perspective the Odyssey uniform is new to 2410 and captains just entering the game are still back in 2409 but if you see it the first time you visit ESD that doesn't make sense.)

    It would seem that the original intention of the Odyssey uniform was to give fleets and their members something special to show off their unity and accomplishments? How is it special anymore if every NPC on every corner has one.

    Here's a humble suggestion: how about you give the fleets a new special variant uniform (or as suggested in other threads, a special variant texture for the Odyssey suit) and release this one to everyone now that it's out there on display?

    That's just my opinion. Thanks for letting me share it. Other than the above concern I love what you folks at Cryptic are doing with this game.

    So anyone at Cryptic care to explain why the "standard" Starfleet uniform for 2410 requires being a member of a fleet that has, at minimum, achieved tier 3 in their starbase?

    The belts are actually from the C-Store Jupiter uniform set.

    Very nice layout of the history of the uniform.

    An observation. For a company that recently touted its work on increasing the costume creator's ability to generate more diversity in facial features and such, there's an awful lot of white people featured in that wallpaper.

    'Cause that's what Roddenberry would have wanted. A Starfleet of white people and aliens, and the token black person once and a while.

    Now that you have this increased capacity to generate some more diversity in your characters, maybe you might want to, oh, I don't know, use it more?

    Why can't we have the freedom to NOT use it? Why does "diversity" not allow for "randomness"? Why does there have to be different races and species just because there CAN be?

    This wallpaper is featuring uniforms, not officers, regardless.

    Neat wallpaper! Though I have two criticisms:

    The TMP display is missing the Starfleet delta badge on the chest (aka combadge).

    And the Odyssey display isn't using what I presume to be the unavailable Odyssey belts seen on NPCs at ESD.


    Those aside, I fancy these kinds of wallpaper. =P *saves*

    I don't want to nit-pick, but, those TNG uniforms weren't introduced until 2366.

    Any chance of your web team fixing the website so it can be viewed?

    So where exactly is the Jupiter Veteran uniform on the timeline? Because I thought that due to Museum Quality special project that it would be next and not the Odyssey uniform

    Nice wallpaper... the female though, why didn't you use T'Bo.... the Vulcan Spokeswoman from way back when? And does this mean that we're now finally in 2410!? (haven't had a chance to play all the new content so if it's mentioned in there, I don't know it yet).

    And to answer the question about how new players will feel not having access to the "new" federation standard uniform and the mentioning of ESD. Suspension of disbelief is needed as my understanding is the new ESD is a result of content from season 9 which obviously the new players haven't gotten to yet. Would be nice if they could split it. Old ESD until you reach that point in the game story line (with some kind of neutral meeting spot so season 9ers and pre-9ers can meet).

    Great looking wallpaper! Nice job devs! Downloaded! :D

    Will "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before" uniforms ever be added is what I'd like to know. Yes, I know the only real differences between them and the regular Star Trek uniforms are the collar and the rank insignia but still they appeared and should be included.

    Just as a matter of interest why weren't the uniforms from the two pilots carried on over to Star Trek when it was picked up aside from cameo appearances on supporting characters like the Antares crew in "Charlie X"?

    And you call that wallpapers??? seriously??? not even on 720p?? lol. Ridiculous. We are in the year 2014, but these guys of cryptic live in the year 1995. A LOT of people have screens of about 1920... and you want them to put a wallpaper so small?? hahahahahaha...

    People will always say "good job" , cuz they are robots and condescendient people, but those wallpapers are terrible. First, they cant be called wallpapers, that for a start.

    it's not 1080p though, to make it work on a 1080p screen you either have to lop off some of the top and bottom, or scale it back to something that isn't 1920, and thus, have sideways letterboxing

    what me and my other complaintant are saying is that they don't offer up NATIVE 720p (1280x720) or 1080p (1920x1080) versions of their wallpapers

    EDIT: added in what 720p and 1080p measure out to in pixels for those less technically advanced

    Also with the ROG Swift 27 inch gaming display on the horizon, you must also take into consideration 1440p displays (2560x1440) which are even HIGHER res than your average 25-27 inch display

    Hmm... which ones do I actually use?

    ENT: Eridian wears it, but only the top. and reshaded green. She does wear a badge from that era, but the mirror one.

    TOS: Carnlan wears the formal badges that come with it (not pictured) He also uses the small formal badge instead of a combadge on his crew. I also use the mirror sash a lot.

    TMP: Chuft wears the top but reshaded using a pallette similar to TNG

    TWOK: do not haz... except the combadge, which Chuft uses, and the belt which Sekkoth wears

    TNG: Melati used to wear the top, with the sierra bottom and boots

    DS9: apparently I don't use these.

    TNGF: apparently I don't use these.

    AGT: I like this combadge and use it a lot.

    Sierra: love the pants and boots. I tend to use those almost by default. and the combadge

    Academy: I used to use it on a character that I was trying to make look like a random NPC. But only that.

    Odyssey: do not haz... but SOON!
