    I'd rather have the service uniform with barracks cover myself.

    I would be happy if I could just get these hats.

    So many cool stuff we could get in addition to the current Kelvin Timeline items:
    -Admiral outfit
    -Kelvin-era uniforms
    -Kelvin-class
    -Shuttle
    -Jellyfish fighter (yes, it's a Prime ship but it's so pretty and spinny)
    -D4 fighter (mini D4x, Klingon-exclusive )
    -Nero's trident (with primary attack: stab and secondary attack: throw)
    -Section 31 uniform
    -Sulu's retractable sword
    -Space suit
    -Lens flare Tribble (already here)

    Those are not "hats", they are covers.

    They look like West Point cadets with train conductor hats. It's very un-Sci-Fi.

    What are you talking about? Plenty of sci-fi has a pseudo-military feel to it, if not straight-up military.
    Yeah it's unusual to see in Trek, but in the whole of sci-fi, the genre? Fairly common.

    Not to mention, after Nero showing up, that timeline would obviously shift more to military than exploration.

    I'm talking about the uniform not looking very futuristic. Nice uniforms, but not very Sci-Fi looking.

    Starfleet is not military and has rightfully never looked military (or at least any military past the 1700s). The KT Dress Uniforms are the single exception.​​

    Not only that, but Pike had a very similar hat in The Cage.

    God I hated that uniform. Most uncomfortable thing ever. Rather wear dress blues.

    Same color coveralls. Probably a coincidence.

    "What would you prefer? Yellow spandex?"

    Yellow spandex would not have been my preference, no. If I'd been the director, I would have called for a sci-fi looking military dress uniform. The West Point cadet look is a bit too 20th century for Star Trek. Again, nice uniforms...very sharp...but for Star Trek...a bit out of place.

    I would like to see the Admiral uniform as well as that service/dress uniform with the associated *covers* (they are *not* hats in the military!). It wold give us some great customization options and I think is a great nod to those who have or are serving their country's military.

    The yellow spandex thing was a quote from x-men. But military organizations put a lot of emphasis on tradition, so it's very likely that the starfleet service uniform would be similar to those worn in today's militaries. I mean in the Marines Officers and NCOs still carry swords as part of their dress uniforms.

    Starfleet in the prime timeline may not be militairy, but I wouldn't be surprised if they took a more militairistic stance in an alternate timeline where, not that long after its foundation, a core world was destroyed by some madman resulting in near extinction of a founder race.

    Look at what the Dominion war (or the attack by the Xindi on Earth to give another example) did to Starfleet: more hawkish stances, swifter responses when under attack (even though a focus on exploration and diplomacy is still very present).

    And STO takes it all one step further of course. We can be commandos, so it wouldn't be that weird to have a very military-ish looking uniform available

    Starfleet is not a military or even descended from militaries. It calls them hats.

    The KT Starfleet is not a military, according to Pike it is a peacekeeping and humanitarian force, so the UN essentially, instead of it's Prime Universe mission of diplomacy and exploration and defence.
    Wolf 359 didn't make Starfleet a military, the Dominion War didn't make Starfleet a military. The attack on the Kelvin and the loss of Vulcan didn't make Starfleet a military. All the latter did was bring S31 into the light who began becoming the Federation's military in essence.

    The Xindi stuff doesn't count really as it was an attack on Earth not on the Federation. Earth at that time had no strength in numbers that the Federation would later have so it needed it's military (of which we see MACOs as even Earth Starfleet weren't military).​​

    If it operates like a military, and performs the responsibilities of a military, then it's a military.

    The President could give a speech tomorrow and claim the US Army is a "peacekeeping and humanitarian force" if he wanted to, it wouldn't make it any less of a military organization. I just don't see how so many people can be so blind to the obvious fact that Starfleet IS the Federation's military ...
