It would be cool if we could associate a certain Boff look to the Captain's, When you switch the Captain's look the Boff's would switch to their look associated.
Hummm not really complicated per se. It's a matter of having a table where A, B, C, D and E have a number, and when you select a change, all the letters change to the defined numbers stored in another table. Right now you do the same with tables that only have values for A.
Obvisouly I don't know if this is the process the game uses, but it's logical process of doing it.
But it would mean a lot of work to the dev team. I'm not sure it's justified for a cool feature that is just that, cool.
Eheh sure, I put it too simplistically.
I don't think it'd be that difficult to do.
This doesn't help when I'm out and want my away team wearing TOS costumes for some situations and MACO uniforms for others.
^^ This! /thread
So what do I do in the situation I posted right above you? Create duplicates of my entire away team?
It can also finicky, involves three menu layers, and requires you to go back to a tailor (however many map transitions that requires) to change boff uniforms. For something like "changing your away team from 25c to 23c uniforms for timetravel missions" it's not really a good system and we've had QOL improvements for broadly similar types of problems before (ex. ship loadouts, Cryptic could have just kept requiring players to move items individually for each ship change. The basic action was an plausible option prior to the update. It was simply inconvenient, which thankfully precipitated change.)
So, there's no particular reason to hold this idea as going too far. It seems on par with past QOL updates, and incidentally with the "make tomorrow better through technological innovation, however small it may be in cases" ethos of this franchise (see. the pop-culture fixation doors. Why not just stick with handles? Handles worked! Why waste time and manpower developing some kind of system to save that bit of effort?! Put handles on doors, /thread!!!)
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence
Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
Bind this to a key, and have full Tailor access from everywhere, even in space
/GenSendMessage Tailor_Root Show
The save/load costume feature does not always work properly. Sometimes it will only load half of the outfit or just put a random uniform when I try to load one. Other times I will get an error message saying something along the lines of "unable to load costume because of old data". So yeah, because of that this would be nice to have.
Actually be careful about using that in space, it may cause slots to get buggy, and in my case it doubles the amount I'd normally have access to (half of them will be usable at most). and resulted in a hidden costume slot always being what my character shows as in cut scenes whether or not I was wearing it...
This only happens when loading uniforms created on characters/boffs of a different race and/or gender, or even rank if it has rank insignia. Basically if you try to load a uniform with even one part that a particular character is not allowed to use, the entire thing well go crazy sometimes.
I've tried that before, and got an error message that I was not allowed to use the tailor at that location or something like that.
^^This. I could have a mirror crew or any of the dozen varieties they offer.

Nor should they be. Their ships would look weird.
Sadly seems I deleted my keybind file (when I migrated to Windows 10). But I have it working on my toon.
I've been able to get it to come up, it's just when I click to save the costume that's when it gives me an error message.
