One of them I had designed to look like Sheldon, from the Big Bang Theory. I actually had him pretty darn good, he was spot on.
I was updating the uniforms of the crew, putting them in the original STO uniforms. I altered Sheldon's uniform by loading JUST the uniform from the saved costume list. I then did several other crew.
When I came to one of my combat science officers (a junior officer I use as a medic), named Matthews, I loaded the costume as before, adjusted it for his rank and role, and purchased the change. However, it didn't change Matthews, it changed SHELDON, turning him into a duplicate of Matthews.
I'm kind of annoyed now, I spent HOURS tweaking and retweaking Sheldon until he was perfect, and now all that work is gone, because I hadn't saved him yet (there is ANOTHER bug that prevents the saved costume appearing in Explorer with the character's portrait, unless I exit the game and reload for each costume for each character, and I hadn't had a chance to save him yet...).
So, first things first. Does anyone know if there is a way to recover what the character USED to look like before this bug changed his appearance?
Secondly, is this a bug the developers know about? As it stands, I CANNOT change Matthews' appearance, it just keeps changing Sheldon instead.

Leonard was Picard, Sheldon was Data, Raj was Worf, & Howard was a Borg.
Not sure if those characters ever did that again but from another ST series.
