The Next Generation (TV) Uniforms

eristhevorta

I mean the normal ones that came very early in the game (Season 3 through 7 visual style). Have you noticed that they have a lot of very unsharp textures and also wrong edge graphics from torso to arm? You can see the texture mismatch very well on the left arm / torso edge of the female uniform, butt also in the male version (a bit less extreme).

The DS9 TV uniform was the same first, but got fixed later. I wish the TNG TV uniform had been fixed the same way, because the DS9 both early and Nemesis style look so nice now.

I would love to see a visual rework of the standard TNG uniform. The early (Season 1 and 2) TNG uniform that came a lot later look even better than the supposedly later versions that actually came out earlier, lol.

Thanks for considering this, it's not much work to be done. Maybe you could just do a repaint of the current DS9 (Season 1 to mid-5) uniforms and release them as an override for the current TNG ones.

PS: Actually they are not even free, it's a C-store item (I think 400 ZEN). Alone for this fact it would be nice if they were up-to-date with other uniform visual quality design.

Could we include a fix for the TNG badges as well? They don't adjust on female characters, so if the bust slider is anywhere above about 50% it clips into the model. Go 100% and the badge dang near disappears entirely. Looks painful.

That happens to a lot of badges and costumes even with a 0% bust slider which is still pretty large.

The TNG Series uniform with the high collar really isn't up to the quality of other uniforms. It's not horrible, but the texture is awful and blurry, not sharp at all. It's a shame, as the real thing is quite dashing and a fan favorite. Also, yes, the TNG series badge circle is way too large, whereas the film version is much more accurate in size. While I'm at it, just fix the poor Galaxy by releasing a tactical version or something, anything. You did such a great job with the Voyager content in DR. At this point, we all get that the devs hate TNG, but everyone else loves it, so just revamp the stuff to make $, honestly. lol

Yeah, the first uniform is okay, the Admirals uniform too but the newer Unform looks horrible. The TV version did look great but the STO version doesn´t even come close to that.

And i would love to see some TNG Admiral uniforms too, like those worn by Nechayev, Nakamura and Brand

Well... if you have the DS9 Bundle, you could kinda recreate the TNG Admiral's uniform with the DS9 one. Just change the colors around so the main part is red and the shoulders and collar are black. Its not perfect, but its pretty dang close. I'd screenshot it but... I can't even get into STO due to launcher issues right now.

A TNG bundle is in order, and long overdue, imho.

After a TOS, a DS9 and even now a VOY bundle, a TNG bundle would indeed be the next proper thing. However, in this topic I'd like to stick with the thread title which is the actual TNG uniforms.

I cumpletely agree that the TNG TV uniform is one of the most favorite of all players, it's the main uniform of almost the whole TNG series anyway, and it was even used in some DS9 episodes (specially in the first two seasons and in the two-parter on Earth in Season 4). I could live with a low-quality "early uniform style" (Season 1 and 2), but not with the main one.

About the admiral variant of the later TNG seasons uniforms (Season 3-5 and Season 6+7 edition) ... yeah, those would be neat as well, and they are actually a part of the TNG uniform set, so yeah ... why not add those while fixing the current TNG one?

I'd luv to do a screenie of a gurl wearing the TNG uniform (and show the mismatch of arm and body edge), butt I can't even load the game right now due to launcher issues, surrey.

Edit: If you design a "Nechayev"-style Admiral uniform with the DS9 bundle's Admiral uniform as base, it won't work. The upper one will look right, but the pants will turn red as well, and I have never seen an admiral TNG style with red pants, surrey.

Not if you use the TNG s1 Admiral Pants.

I'm a bit of a costume fiend in STO. I find ways to make some things work.

Wowies, I didn't know that. Thankies.

rattler2

You're welcome. ^^

That's just the separate color linking issue. Simply click 'randomize' to unlink everything, then manually apply proper colors. This has been the standard workaround for all color linking issues.

Holy meow! Really? That's a great trick, Gianni Campanella. By the way, I used to have a great friend called Angela Campanella from Italy. *giggles*

Really? Cool! Campanella means 'Little Bell' in English.
