    The Commanding Officer uniform needs to be added to the tailor presets, methinks.

    Tomcat's uniforms were one of the very few good things included since Season.. well definitely 9.

    His Blogs received the most positive feedback. Hope he didn't get to much mocked by the other Devs for that. :D

    Indeed.
    Although i was a bit reluctant at the beginning, i have grown accustomed to the all dark uniforms.
    (but that doesn't mean i would prefer them over a prominent division colored uniform)

    Btw:
    nicely done page!
    Is it just me or is the page a bit slow?

    This was a very awesome guide
    (this should be a shining example of how all future guides should be done give this dev a cigar!)

    Is there a way to sticky this guide somewhere so it doesn't get buried in the next 2 weeks? (cause im sure it will)

    Is there going to be a KDF guide?

    are Romulans going to be acknowledged as part of the fleet? Since these uniforms were a "FLEET" update mainly.... :rolleyes:


    One main issue I have though, since the academy uniform really is just a copy of the JJ academy uniforms...shouldn't the dress uniform be the all red? Since we are in a throwback mood and all.

    Cool. I can feel a bit Honorverse radiating from this guide, without losing any Trekness at all.

    Okay that is a really cool guide. Thank you for making it and ESPECIALLY thank you for including the color codes and swatches (H20, etc).

    This is a big initiative that I'm pushing for; you'll start to see a lot more dynamic arranged content on our website. I love that Thomas is helping spearhead that with some of his guides. This was a pleasure to work with and feature. I'm really glad that it has had such a great response.

    Amazing. I would definitely like to see more guides and/or blogs in this style in the future! :)

    Great job to everyone who wrote and designed this!

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    I can't read this. The big advertisement for Perfect World games is covering the right half of the article text, and it doesn't have an X from which to close it.

    I love these colour guides, and all the recent updates to the NPCs. One of my favourite updates to the game in the nearly 4 years I've been playing.

    If we could get 'open variants' on the C-Store, I think they would sell really well.

    This is really awesome and well done, thanks!

    I saw a couple references to "shuttle pilots" in there. Would that be a tactical or an engineering career?

    It is a nice informative guide that is well laid out with good instructions. I am not into the dressing up my toons too much, but with the new uniform along with this guide I have already done a little bit. Thank you for the effort & the work into creating such a good uniforms guide.

    Agreed, it adds more immersion than 4 seasons together.
    Please devs more things like this!

    Use the Academy skirt if you have it.

    Works well with the upper odyssey uniform.
    Combine it with the Academy high heel boots for best effect.

    This really is fantastic! It's professionally put together with wonderful example pics, and additional information is provided to explain the context of what each uniform is used for. This is some great out of game content.

    I Have a feeling I'll be buying some more uniform slots soon, lol.

    Thank you Thomas (CrypticTtC) for taking the time to do this!
    >^_^<

    Edit: Any chance the web based version could have a table of contents to each page added Trendy?

    Very nice guide. Very nice indeed.

    I have just one question: Could we expect KDF and Romulan versions of this soon? I'm not sure if I got my Republic uniforms right, and having a unified standard to base my KDF off of would be nice.

    Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

    There is only one flaw - its spread across 14 pages...

    Otherwise, brilliant.
