I know, I'm being silly but I want my human romulan and jem'hadar boffs in the same uniform!

Maybe a joint service uniform

    as a general thing, none of the 'specialty' BOffs generally have costume change options. The only one I can offhandly say is not this case is the T4 diplomacy one (I dont have the embassy ones so someone will have to state if they have republic only costume options) But certainly he Breen the EMH, The Photon Tac, Jem'Hadar all have fixed costumes that match their 'species norm'

    Embassy boffs are also fixed, as is the FE Reman.

    Which sucks because there are customisable models for both now, so there's no excuse.

    I'd be happy if the Embassy boffs could use Federation/Klingon Uniforms. Or just Republic Uniforms. Any Uniforms at this point really.

    You could say the same for KDF Maurading BOFFs, but Starfleet Online, and everything else is SOL if it doesnt work.

    I have my Lobi Borg Romulan and my Diplo Orion in Dyson uniforms. It at least makes them look a little more Starfleet-y.

    But they aren't Starfleet officers, which is the point they're trying to get through and the point why they didn't make all the chosen factions uniforms available for RR characters.

    Riker didn't wear a Klingon uniform when he was serving on that BoP did he? Neither did Kurn wear a Starfleet uniform when he was serving on the Enterprise.

    So I can decide that a bridge bunny is going to wear a crop top and miniskirt today, but I can't decide what clothes the pointy ears are wearing?

    Sadness.

    What's to say they can't be Starfleet personnel? We can have Klingon Bridge officers even though the Klingon Empire is at war with the Federation. It would certainly make more sense than having an officer exchange program with a faction one is currently at war with.

    And at any rate, doesn't explain why the embassy boffs can't wear uniforms of any kind, inc Republic ones. The Lobi store one can, but not the embassy ones for some reason.

    Because if they were Starfleet personnel you could just recruit them and not have to go through any loops to get them.

    My bridge crew wanted to do a rendition of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Oh,......faction dressing. Well this is embarassing....:o

    So why's it such a pain to get Caitan and Aenar officers then?

    I think we should be able to change the uniform of any BOFF, but we should stay true to their faction. For example, the breen should have access to breen uniform part, the Romulan embassy BOFF to RR parts...
    Then it makes sense for the diplomacy/marauding BOFF to be of your own allegiance (IE nausicaan wearing fed uniform for example).

    I'm against the idea of multifaction costume, except for off duty/civilian outfits (including the mercenary costume. It's part of the faction identity.

    Id like to see the specialty bofs be unlocked for tailor use. Maybe lock some of there visuals or allow them to be edited. Such as the Jem'hadar, he actually has a really good face, I prob wouldn't change it. But Id like to change my tactical holographic bof, lib borg from khitomer, breen ect. Maybe even include additional unlocks for their choose race/faction.

    Like the breen, allow him to get the other costumes that other breen wear, different helmets with different color visors colors, purple ect. In general I want to see color palletes for all things expanded, more options to be open for all armors/clothing. Game needs to expand its customization to allow more unique settings so that people can be unique, from everyone else.

    I would prefer they finish giving factions besides starfleet more faction uniforms first.... hell we have cross faction uniforms already there the rep uniforms.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    There a few assets from the NPCs that can be used.

    * Breen Bridge Officer (Cold Front FE Series)- Here.
    As you can see: 5 helmets 2 bracers, 2 types of boot, 2 collars, 2 chest pieces, 2 backpack options (there is one on the Thot), hip pieces, and a set of shoulder armour.

    * Jem Hadar Bridge Officer (2800 FE Series)- Here.
    Several white tube options, nicely patterned bracers, thigh / leg armour, 3 types of boot, upper arm armour, a backpack option, belt pouch, and also the face horn / spikes options.

    * Reman Bridge Officer (Clocked Intentions FE Series)- Here.
    Now there is less variation here, the jumpsuit and boots are the same across the board, however there is a hood and mouth scarf option, 2 capes (there is also an untorn option for the split cape), and 2 shoulder pads (dual).
    Also the Reman-Neutral, Reman-Nemesis, Reman-KDF, and Reman- Federation would be nice.

    * Voth Bridge Officer (Dyson T5 Reputation Reward)
    No images as there are no Voth NPC contacts in the foundry but similar variations exist, also the Voth armour and Voth Light Soldier Costume form the Lobi store.

    * Romulan Bridge Officer (T3 Embassy Purchasable Reward)
    Allied Faction costumes, and maybe the two Republic uniforms.

    * Photonic Bridge Officer (Lobi Store)
    All versions of the MACO / Honour Guard armours (regardless of whether the player has unlocked them or not, also available in black)

    * Borg Bridge Officers (Khitomer in Stasis Accolade Reward / C-Store / Lobi store)
    There is tonnes of techno-vampire-zombie parts available here, to many to get in a smallish screenshot.
