    Also sidenote: Pretty sure the same people for swimsuits everywhere is for disco balls everywhere too. Not saying I'm right but it feels like it


    Your point?:cool:

    My god I could kiss you for that.

    Like I said before. What is wrong with wearing an uniform of your faction when you are in military area? Can't hope for people to act like Starfleet officers but you could at least to dress like one.

    (But I have characters that aren't supposed to be members of Starfleet)

    Okay, let's go another way.


    This was the ONLY way CBS would allow Swimsuits for players.




    And I agree with the limitation. Orions in metal thongs, fine. Makes sense from a species perspective.


    Humans in Skimpy Two-pieces stopping a Colony Invasion? No. That's just stupid.




    That being said, if these are map locked then the price had damn well better reflect the limitation.

    I'd like to see some facts to back up that statement.
    Else its nothing more than idle speculation.

    Curious what the animations for surfing/hoverboards will be.

    That presumption would be incorrect. ;)

    Yeah they really need to change it, but also on the same aspect of the suits is that I really hope we can actually start swimming in water, even have water go really deep down while we have some sort of timed oxygen supply in our lungs and if we go over the limit we start to take damage eventually dieing.

    Swimming would be a wonderful mechanic indeed! So much could be done with that! :3

    Swimming is one of the things I'd most like to see for Risa now. Or for that matter, it could be a pretty interesting setting for a FE mission -- some kind of underwater exploration on a water planet or somesuch. I know that CO has an underwater area, Lemuria, that was pretty notorious for being a lagfest. So I expect that it's generally being avoided here, due to those kind of issues. Still, it would be great if they could find a better way to make it work for everyone.

    As for the swimsuits -- it would certainly be nice to see something official as to whether they are indeed 'map-locked' to Risa or not. I have kind of mixed feelings on the subject myself. I can see the point that it looks silly to have people wearing them in combat, yet I also think options are generally always good. All in all, I won't be terribly upset either way. It's just nice to have them available to us -- they really will be great for the atmosphere of Risa, I think.

    (Almost makes me wonder -- if they lock swimsuits to the Risa map, should they not also ban uniforms on the Risa map? It could be said to be immersion-breaking to see people trotting along all those sandy beaches in full uniform, even armor, sometimes. 'Realism' is a two-edged sword.)
    Live long, and prosper.

    Is Risa open to KDF (With the proper marauding level)?

    AS a KDF you will get special clearance to go to Risa for this event :)

    Have fun!

    One button goes to the old "classic beach." The other took me to the special resort, which is last year's special resort.

    Edit: OK I found the new part.
    Go back and scrutinize the map. :D the map has diagrams of features that you can't see when looking around Risa. Such as the locations of ramps and bouys that are presumably part of the surfing course.

    The fact that Risa is locked off for much of the year makes the swimsuits in their current theoretical status a terrible idea. Please tell the Devs to reconsider. :(

    That has to be the uglyest ferengi I have ever seen. Proves all ferengi aren't gifted with the ways of profit. The first Beer belly hobo ferengi. If I see you setting outside ESD waving a cup, ill throw ya some latinum.

    Counter: Keep the special clearance all year long and have the devs hold true to their ideals. The war is over. I say let Risa become the site of ever loving peace.

    Sounds like a fine idea to me! Perhaps after completing the Surface Tension mission...when the ceasefire becomes official?

    KDF can also do the new featured episode, which grants this little undocumented bonus (spoilers)

    (which is broken for KDF-allied Romulans, btw)

    I just tested this on a KDF character with no Marauder level 4, its a text change only, you still have to do Marauder missions until you hit level four to get access, at least I assume so, I don't have a KDF who ran the missions and who also had level 4 Marauder as well.
