The idea behind this thread is simple. Fixes you may have found for the marauding boff. Post them here and help out fellow warriors of the Empire. Me first I think.
The mining outfit from the fleet holding. I bought it and now I can change how my human female boff looks.
If this works for other people please speak up and if you have your own fixes please let us hear them.
Edit: We can now say for sure that the mining outfit does allow you change how your boff looks. The Spire outfit does not. If can get reports about the Embassy outfit and lobi store clothes it would help a great deal.
I would need to dig up a dev post but you are right. The tailor for the boff is busted but based on what I have seen the mining outfit is a band-aid for it
I have a couple characters that have reached T4 Marauding/T4 Diplomacy... and haven't actually been awarded their boff. A side track, I know, but I don't suppose you can tell me how/where to pick them up?
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.

For the Marauding BOFF, you have to talk to one of the people in the Barracks on Qo'nos/First City. He only gives out the Marauding BOFFs, I think.
For the Diplomacy Boff you need to talk to Ambassador Jiro Sugihara, he's near Admiral Quinn.
For the KDF it's Marauder Kazzgur in the barracks in First City
Thank you... to the Barracks I go
[EDIT] As a side note, it appears as though the reason we can't do much at the Tailor with our cross-faction boff is that we haven't unlocked any costume options for captains/boffs of their faction. It looks like open-faction costume unlocks are available, such as the Miner clothing and Flower accessory unlocks, but anything tagged as being Starfleet or KDF is only useable by boffs of that faction... it looks as though the cross-faction boffs can only use costumes of the faction they "belong" with. Just a guess based on the options I see, but it's a thought...

Cross-faction-wise... at minimum, I have one of the Ferengi skirts, at least one of the winter jackets... not to mention the fact that there are several pants & one or two shirts that are already cross-faction, without having to buy it from the Lobi store or whatever.
None of that cross-faction stuff that I have will work with the Tailor.
Thus, my theory that anything that actually works with Marauding BOFFs is the real "bug", and that Marauding BOFFs are "working as intended" by not allowing for changes in the Tailor.
So, get your Miner outfits while you can before they fix the bug.

That stuff you mention like the Ferengi skirt is off-duty outfits, something boffs don't usually have access to. The mining and Spire costumes are considered uniforms though.

Well, KDF-side, it's "Uniform - Skirts" for the Ferengi skirt, and "Uniform - Jacket Loose" for the winter coat... not to mention all of the pants & shirts that are already cross-faction in the default Uniform options, and do not require an unlock... AND the fact that Starfleet gets KDF uniform options on Diplo BOFFs.
After all this time, I find it very hard to believe that the tailor is "malfunctioning" for the KDF Marauder BOFFs... just like the Hoh'sus warp animation (or lack thereof).
So, get your Miner outfits while you can before they fix the bug.
Dude... it's a KDF issue, and it's been like this for how long?
They're never going to fix it. World Peace will occur before Cryptic gets off their asses to fix it, as well as other KDF uniform issues. Like Bortasqu uniforms. Like the lack of KDF uniform options. And more.
I remember when the game was still quite new, the Starfleet TOS uniforms came out. But there were some inaccuracy issues and Cryptic fixed it within a week or two.
Wait what? Marauder boffs are never meant to be editable? So what about Dipo boffs?
I dunno.
My Vulcan TAC has a Female Orion Diplomatic BOFF with the Orion attire we all know and love, complete with the KDF arm emblem.
The annoying thing that before S9 when armor could grant a costume just from wearing it, I put my KDF Marauder Human in the Omega Armor. So that she at least looked cool and commando, instead of some random bum civilian aboard an Imperial vessel. But with S9 and everything going to costumes, which is fine, now I'm stuck with a Human wearing the most awful attire possible with no customization.
They never intended for Marauder BOFFs to be editable, just like Embassy BOFFs are locked.
Well, there was a post by one of the Devs that it is a bug and that they had people working on it. (The post was made about 2 years ago)
If I remember correctly, there also was a post made during that time, that the issue was related to the type of uniform slot and the marauding doffs being stuck on "off duty", a type of uniform the KDF doesn't have.
Thank you everyone for testing and helping me build this list. If anyone has any lobi outfits can they test with them? Also I will be updating the OP to cover what does and does not work.

For all we know, the mining outfit is the bug, and the tailor for marauding BOFFs is (not) working as intended.

There should be a similar setup on ESD.

A WEEK OR TWO AT THE LONGEST.
And how long have KDF uniform issues persisted?

The issue isn't that our Marauder BOFFs aren't "fixed". The issue is that they were always intended to be exactly as they are now.
If anything, I'd guess they'll "fix" the Miner outfit. Then, Marauder BOFFs will be working as intended.

I already have the Miner Outfit and Will buy the Spire Uniform if this is true. Can you mix elements of these uniforms?
I can only say the miner outfit. I have heard reports that the spire outfit does not work.
The miner outfit works, the spire outfit does not. The former does unlock the ability to edit the facial and body-features.
