Wasn't sure where else to ask this, will we ever see more dress uniforms? I know we have the Odyssey dress, as well as the 23c dress but I was thinking something closer to the dress uniforms from the JJ Abrams reboot. Or shoot possibly classic naval dress uniforms? I think it'd be cool to have a cover(hat) like they wore. And possibly some dress uniforms for the other factions too?

We have the Kelvin Admiral uniform, which is pretty close to the Kelvin Dress Uniform. But no hat and its rank can only be admiral.
I think Lifers do get access to a Romulan Republic Dress Uniform. Far as I know the Klingon Empire has never had a formal dress uniform, preferring their armor for formal events, usually augmented by some kind of formal sash. And of course we know the Jem'Hadar don't have dress uniforms either as its not the Jem'Hadar who do diplomacy and it serves no military purpose.
I wouldn't mind seeing more Dress Uniforms though, such as the TNG style longcoats. We never saw a formal dress uniform for the TMP era, and I think the Enterprise era was just a more suit style variant of the standard uniform with a tie. We technically have the First Contact Style Dress Uniform in game already, but as the Diplomatic uniform we get for getting Tier 4 Diplomacy through DOff assignments.
Yeah I thought it was odd that the kelvin dress only allows the admiral rank, but I digress. One of the biggest issues with the kelvin dress uniform I had, which we also see with the NX-01 uniform, was that both use a hat in the movie/show but we don't gain access to one in game which makes them feel lacking to be honest. I dunno, I think it'd be cool to start seeing actual headgear that could be used with a uniform, as opposed to say the "emancipator" tophat or hats from other outfits

Admittedly though both are active last I saw, and both have almost the same information. The new one seems to have more of the new things that have come out though.
