Swimwear

caderenard

From what it looks like swimwear will only be able to be worn on Risa. Devs, Can you make it so we can also wear it on our ships, and other private maps like fleet maps. Thanks

Great, we can have make-believe gingerbread men chase us all over the galaxy but swimsuits, Risa only? And how much will these swimsuits cost? Does anyone know?

startrek1wars

They can't chase us anymore (the gingerbread men) BRING BACK THE GINGERBREAD MENS' ABILITY TO MOVE, CRYPTIC!
Swimsuits cost 50 favors, I believe. Not certain, though.

tpalelena

Tbey cost 500 to 2000 favours.

Cryptic, please make them available on private maps like Fleet holdings, bridges, foundry maps....

especially foundry maps with water on them.

If I can't wear them everywhere, I'm not buying them.

To people who support more customization restrictions: Mind your own business.

peetapipmac

As I said in a different thread, if they are going to be restricted to a map that there is no reason to go to ten and a half months in the year, then they should be handed out for free the second you beam down.

If there are restrictions put on where I can wear my clothing I'm not going to bother "GRINDING" to get swimwear I can only wear in certain locations. I don't see any logic to clothing restrictions @ all. Orions can now wander anywhere wearing their standard bikinis, so what's the issue? I can also see all the unforseen costume bugs that will be introduced if these restrictions are implimented & every Orion in the game having issues. I still have unfixed costume issues on the KDF side & don't want more introduced because of the posibility of bikinis on ESD.

Being able to wear them on our ship as well makes sense, it's our private bridge that can only be accessed by us and those we invite.

centersolace

Please let us use them anywhere. They are stupidly expensive and you could make some really cool combinations using them with other outfits.

sammiefighter

Let me guess . .they'll be colour locked like the winter costumes too?

Cryptic trying so hard to make even tiny unlocks worthelss.

I'm really tired of the restrictions in the clothing. I'd love to be able to mix and match everything. From M.A.C.O. Armor to Off Duty, to any other item of clothing. Even if some items or clothing pieces were restricted to private areas.

I'd like a Dev to comment on this, but i'm not gonna hold my breath.

This is an astonishing example of idiocy Cryptic. It's pointless to grind for the new swimwear, especially if you're KDF. Grind for the bikini & then grind for marauder status, just so you can wear the bikini on Risa? Why?! Meantime all the Orion girls on Quonos can wear their bikinis anywhere, with no restrictions & no grinding necessary. Where is the logic in not allowing us to wear swimwear anywhere we choose? Tell the mommies not to let their little kids play if they're worried about exposing their children to animated characters wearing swimwear. What an incredible example of stupidity.

STO...

where the powers of subspace are manipulated to make people dance, but cant wear swimsuits off risa.

where luxury cruse ships do more damage then galaxy class dreadnoughts, solo elite borg STFs, have crews full of klingons, jemhadar, ferengi, romulans, mirror universe romulans, tholians, etc.... but players cant wear swimsuits off risa.

where Orions can spend all day running through ground warzones, PVP, STFs, and story missions, all with only a few thin straps of leather that'd make slave Leia blush. but players cant wear a one piece off risa. nope. not even their own starbase.

where grown klingon warriors spend all day on risa's beach sculpting sand castles, but at least they cant wear a wetsuit off risa.

i can understand maaaybe trying to force such restrictions in ground STFs. that's understandable if still ridiculous with the orions still around. however there is no reason to force me to wear a uniform while i'm on my starbase, or on k-7, etc. this is not the time to try and cater to RPers. not when so many other things are so much more disruptive.

Have you guys/gals Looked at these new swimwear ? They look Ridiculously poorly textured and the models are the same. There are No Seams what so ever or detailed normal maps. Just Flat models and even flatter textures >.>.

Hell we don't even get what the Risians them selfs wear! I was hoping that this year we Might get that, but Nope.

Cryptic needs to go back and make some swimwear thats WORTH grinding for.

Ground STFs are serious business. Now that we have a serious Summer update, they'll begin seriously, with serious people dancing seriously under a serious disco ball for delicious, delicious Avoidance.

I wonder if the Avoidance buff will stack from multiple sources. It would be great to stack up 100% Avoidance and 100% Dodge... it'll go nicely with our 85% expose chance and 88% crit chance. Season 10 I expect to be able to boost those both to 100%. I believe.

I don't wonder enough to grind for it, though.

I'm really hoping the buff doesn't stack from multiple sources. Additionally I'm hoping it doesn't stack with any other dodge bonuses. As I understand it 100% avoidance should provide 100% damage reduction. If there isn't diminishing returns on Avoidance, then we will have people running around immune to all damage via disco balls. I knew those glowing circles were sinister, but this is a new low...

What is the point of grinding your rear off...especially for someone like me who has 30 plus toons, for gear we can only use in a place that you have reason go to 40 days of the year? Not to mention its harder to attain lohlunut favors than it was last summer. Also, for our Klingon toons who can only go to Risa IF we have Marauder status, how is grinding for the gear not a complete and total waste? This is supposed to be fun but they manage to find a way to take the fun out of it, its asinine and non nonsensical. Only Cryptic can put all this cool new stuff in and yet still manage to find a way to make the event worse as a whole than last year. I'd be having the time of my life IF:

A. The Horgon Hunt was still twice an hour like last summer

B. I had some place to actually wear/use this stuff off of Risa

C. The finish line of the race was an acutal finish line, not some stupid flag

Ugh, those color-locked jackets. I was going to dress up in a Sgt Pepper costume but there are big white patches on the side I can't get rid of. Ruined the look.
