Colour me disappointed.
Got to sufficient rank on my 23c Tactical Captain that I can now call on a security escort. Imagine my disappointment when, surrounded my my crew wearing 23c uniforms, using 23c equipment, my security escort beams in, apparently from some other ship since there was a 25c transporter effect and they're wearing 25c uniforms, using 25c equipment...
I mean really. It's starting to look like the only thing 23c about the character is the costume of my Captain, which I had before this "expansion," and the transporter effect. I don't get to keep using a 23c ship, and I don't get to have 23c escorts now. What's next?

You can keep using a 23rd Century ship from level 1 to level 60, but no 23rd Century Security Escort is certainly a let down. Of course, it is going to cost you either $ or time with all the 23rd Century C-Store ships available. It will cost about $40 to $50 to get the Tier 6 Temporal ship and its 23rd Century counterpart to get a Tier 6 23rd Century ship unless you go after the Tier 6 TOS Constitution. Also, the new Fleet Holding will give more options to keep the 23rd Century style.
Only you know the truth.
You also have access to 23c ships all the way up to T6. You can change the skin on the future ships to match the 23c equivalent. Not sure that most know about that.
This is missing the point though. You are not in the 23rd C any longer. Some 23rd C captains may have even embraced that and begun to wear modern uniforms and done the same to their crew. Heck, most of your Boffs and all of your Doffs are modern personnel and not 23rd C personnel.
What really needs to be addressed is actually something all Tac captains would like to see and that is for their escorts to wear gear that matches what they or their Boffs are wearing, but given the overhead required for that, it makes more sense that they wear modern uniforms, not 23rd C uniforms.
Like, allowing 23C costume slots for BOFFs that you can switch them to. Or setting a particular (standard) uniform set for each ship.
Well, on the plus side, you are clearly enjoying the forums!
I'd just like to have AOY on the Xbox
And what is wrong about him asking for features / fixes to a portion of the content that is most important to him?
Would you lob similar criticism at a player of a Romulan character making posts concerning different issues which are specific to that faction?
And that does not change the fact that at the very core of their being, 23rd century characters are 23rd century.
And more importantly, this is a GAME. What some on the opposing side are essentially arguing is that after fans of TOS in many cases spend real money so that their experience will look like TOS, that all of that should be removed once they reach level 10.
Just because a TOS era captain and his / her crew gets transported in time does not mean that their uniforms all magically get changed to 25th century ones, especially since in the 25th century captains can set the dress code for their ships.
The OP's complaint is a legitimate one -- if for example, a player spends real money so that his landing party will be wearing 23rd century uniforms, then having a security officer added in by the game who is not wearing the same type of uniform that the rest of his crew are wearing, that in some cases that he PAID to have them wearing, is irritating.
Customizable security escort (and ship interior crew) would be nice, but it's nothing to do with the game's storyline.
I didn't miss the point. I just made my opinion known about a feature I would like. It's just something I want. It's cool if no one else does. I'm not expecting this to be made available at all. It's no biggie.
