This freebie Discovery Fed uniform looks good. I am impressed. Though, hoping the Klingon stuff from Discovery shows up soon. You know...stuff I can USE.
I heard they added a new boot option for Klingons with the Discovery uniform. It probably looks better on Orions than Klingons though.
How would you know what looks good on my Klingons? LOL!
I am talking about stuff like that Torchbearer armor. He wasn't on the screen long.
I have to watch the show over and see if I can freeze frame it.
The Klingon Ceremonial armor is a bit too ornamental....the actors could barely walk in them.
My characters won't be able to melee in that. LOL!
AND, definitely, more dramatic ridge shapes would be good.
I want all my Klingons to look unique.
It's the sort of boot design some Klingons wouldn't be caught dead wearing.... It looks great on Orions though.

I will look later when I get in the game.
I swapped out my TOS crew to the Discovery uniform, yesterday (looked better than the Kelvin one they were in). The Fed's Discovery boots have Starfleet emblems as buckles or ornaments on the side view.
So, unless they were willing to do art changes (big IF there): why would they even bother to unlock it to the Klingon faction???? Beyond me. I am thinking it is in error.

Forget about Romulans. The Executive Producer Aaron Harberts on After Trek stated that the Romulans were off limits because of TOS.

Probably not on the Romulans as there is supposed to be no physical/visual interaction with Romulans until TOS 'Balance of Terror'.
As we concluded on the last page thishas since been retcond by ENT. Both Vulcans and Andorians are well aware of the Romulans and a pitch battle (I.e. not fought over radio as TOS claimed) will leave bodies and computer records along the way.
Plus Pike is well aware of Romulans as he recognises Nero as one and can apparently contact Romulan Command and Uhura can speak all three dialects of Romulan and distinguish it from Vulcan. True this is after the timeline split but the KTs past is based on ENT and not on TOS' past BEY makes that very clear.
I think you mean as you asserted on the last page. You gave no evidence for bodies or computer cores being recovered, you just stated that they must have been, based on nothing. That's not how conclusions work, they are based on evidence.
The only one to actually see a Romulan and know that it was a Romulan on ENT was V'las, who might have been a Romulan himself. One Aenar experienced Romulans, however they do such things, and could possibly have given the impression of them to his sister somehow, but even if he did, she would have to also have the impression of Vulcans to know that they were similar. The one that was kidnapped by them was presumed lost on a hunt, so no other Aenar had any idea of Romulans to that point. ENT played a little fast and loose with continuity, but they went to great trouble to minimize contact with Romulans to a blind isolationist who died without returning home to tell his tale and a traitor, or possible Romulan spy, who would never reveal that he knew anything about them.
Oh, and the TOS claim was not that the war was fought over radio, but that the treaty was sent over subspace radio. It's clunky, but probably implies that it was entirely negotiated over subspace radio.
This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

Well... Enterprise was trying to set up for the Earth-Romulan War, which is a canon event in Star Trek. TOS also claimed that the war was fought with Nuclear weapons, which in Enterprise would have been very archaic by the 22nd Century when they have Phase Cannons and Photonic Torpedoes. Unless the old Spacial Torpedoes Enterprise was equipped with can be classified as Nuclear. However... there could have been a way to explain the use of "Nuclear" weapons by using a mission in Star Trek Legacy where the player has to lure Romulan ships close to old fusion powered Vulcan mining stations and detonating the cores to hit the Romulans with EMP, something Starfleet ships at the time were shielded against.
Enterprise did its best to make sure no member of Starfleet actually saw a Romulan, as that won't happen until Balance of Terror in TOS. Doesn't mean that Romulans couldn't do stuff in the 22nd Century.
Did you people read what I posted just a few above. NO ROMULANS.

So, when can we expect them to have the good sense to add the tactical kit to this uniform package? It would consist of the utility belt and at least one new top (they might well have variants just like the base uniform).

Lobi store, I am almost certain...
If so, then I am almost certain to buy it.
Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
The Klingon Ceremonial armor is a bit too ornamental....the actors could barely walk in them.

Melee in that armor would be simplicity itself. Just fall on the enemy, and let them slice themselves to ribbons trying to wriggle out from under all those spikes.

My 2 Starfleet aligned Romulans weren't able to use it, even on the Starfleet BOFFs assigned to their crew.
Really? I was able to put the DSC uniform on my Romulan's Fed BOFFs.
I tried again and this time I got it to work:
I wonder if other non-Romulan BOFFs can use this uniform, like Krenim BOFFs from the Temporal Research Lab Holding, for example.
I did try this on my KDF Marauder BOFF, but they didn't have access to the Discovery options.
Lots of blank slots that didn't have Discovery items though.
I expected at least a belt!
And as the picture above shows, there is a Discovery belt.
That tactical vest would also be interesting to have.

See?! They DO have belts. I knew it.
Isn't that belt used just for the phaser holster and tricorder? It's not part of the uniform, it's combat gear.
If you don't want the Starfleet emblems on Klingons, hide them with an S1 black on the third spot.

I just wish I could put the uniform on my Fed Roms. Why do they all have to wear shoulder pads big enough to protect them in the NFL? Nniol tr'Keiniadh is a starship commander, not a wide receiver!

Any chance of the phaser rifle and pistol from Discovery to finish off the Discovery look?

No, I gave evidence on how the war worked in ENT as well as lack of Romulan self destructs, direct Andorian and Vulcan observation, closer relations between Humans and the former than in TOS and so on. That's how conclusions are drawn.

Other drone ships were mentioned along with other missing Anar. And yes, he would have told his sister who tells Shran. The coincidence that an Anar would't come across a Vulcan in anyway is a bit staggering.
ENT played a little fast and loose with continuity, but they went to great trouble to minimize contact with Romulans to a blind isolationist who died without returning home to tell his tale and a traitor, or possible Romulan spy, who would never reveal that he knew anything about them.
Not really, if it was it wouldn't have left all the ways open. So wide in fact it is now silly to imagine the magnitude of the comedy of errors necessary needed to not know who the Romulans were. Right up to their plans for series 5 and T'Pol discovering her father was a Romulan agent. I guess she would have kept that from Archer and the war right?

Boy, is that story SLOW GOING...40 mins at a time...

The Trekyards full spoiler review of episode one has a couple of good still shots of the torchbearer.
The biggest problem with the two hour pilot is that... you still have not met most of the crew or even the ship. You're left feeling "Um, what is this about, again? Discovery? What is that?". It's one of the best made pilots for a Trek show that does not really show much of the actual show (gotta sign up for All Access for that!).
Prequel. Set-up to the Discovery 'pilot'. Instead of doing the inevitable flashback during the Season on how we got here they did it up front. More in keeping with maintaining the continuity of a serialized drama.

To this day, I remain convinced that whoever thought that was a reasonable price tag for a single-character aesthetic unlock is/was out of their minds. And/or out of touch with the player base.

Agreed. While it was probably meant to help balance the DL Exchange... it failed. Miserably.

Crafting and upgrades are doing a better job of it. Putting that (and other outfits) in the Z-store would have - more folks would be willing to set aside 550Z worth of dil (which is a lot less than 2 million). So would having T6 upgrade tokens folks can use on their T5(U) ships that recently got T6 versions (i.e. the Elachi ships). Or having the art team come up with some spiffy vanity shields to put in the dil store. Or... you get the idea.
