Mirror Universe Uniforms: Female

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
After asking several times on the forums and putting in an actual service ticket, I finally got an answer as to whether or not the Mirror Universe set includes female uniform tops. To whit:
*Currently the Mirror Universe top is exclusively for males. If you would like that changed please start a suggestions thread on the forums in the proper channels. Our dev team checks regularly for suggestions.

Needless to say, this is a disappointment, since it's hard to build a Mirror Universe crew if you can't actually put your female characters into uniforms. At the same time, I don't think it's the most important priority for the costume/character creator team as it stands. After all, the Mirror Universe uniform is an exclusive to Champions Online lifetime subscribers. While they (we) might be disappointed by this, I think the various issues that hit the whole population are more significant.

However, that doesn't change my desire to have female uniforms for my Mirror Universe crew, so here's my proposal:

Please fast track a Mirror Universe female top for the Cryptic Store. At the same time, add an option for the TOS uniform set to have a mirror universe badge instead of the commbadge, so people without access to the MU jacket who do have TOS uniform access could still do a Suluesque Mirror Universe uniform alongside their Uhura special.

Leaving a full sex ununiformed is, I think, a really bad move on Cryptic's part. I'd certainly be happy to spend some Cryptic points on rectifying it (and letting non-CO Lifetime folks get it as well), but either way I think there should be the option, and it shouldn't take long.

    This is agreeable. I concur. Oh, and fix miniskirts while you're in the uniform workbench, Cryptic! :) ....and add them to the C-store too!

    I would certainly like to see male/female TNG skirts in the C-Store, but I'll admit actually being able to make my Mirror Universe crew is a higher priority for me.

    Huh, no wonder I never saw this option. My captain and all my BOs are all females. I have no intention of playing a male character so I will currently not be able to benefit from the promised perk of the CO lifetime sub...

    Definitely must add.

    There's no reason why the female mirror universe top, thigh boots, and miniskirt are not available already. Those who have been to the Treasure Trading Station know that all three can already be seen on one of the female patrons there.

    If this is true I'm going to be very upset. The idea that they would intentionally limit (bait-n-switch style) a preorder costume set linked to a lifetime subscription to only one gender when we know at least parts of this costume set already exists for both males and females is just about the most stupendously shortsighted and idiotic thing I think I've ever seen a Cryptic representative tell us. *sigh*

    I guess I'll believe it when I see it, or don't see it, as the case may be. :(

    It does seem to be an expensive "No Girls Allowed" club, I'll admit.

    I am stunned that this was the official response from Cryptic. The costume option was offered as an incentive to Lifetime subscribers of Champions, and the logical implication was that it would be available for both male and female characters. We already know the skirts are "in progress" and expected to be fixed tonight.

    But there is no top for women? Considering that's pretty much the BEST PART OF THE ENTIRE COSTUME, yes, I request that they be added. Saying that we should start a thread on the forums to get it added is just a cop-out.

    Because they should have been there in the first place.

    They're already in game. You can see them at Treasure Trading Station. There is NO reason they should not be added. Seriously, some folks shelled out 200$ for these things SOLELY and have never logged into CO.

    Be cooler to see them on females any way. Granted I've seen no mirror uniforms at all. I went with Amazon and got the Borg crew member. Haven't added em to my group yet. Me I like the game, but yeah there should be a uniform for all charters that want to use them.

    I'm extremely disappointed almost to the point of outrage.

    A costume for Mirror Females has already been made as there is a NPC in-game with this uniform. I forget which mission she's in - one of the early ones.This is rather lazy of them.

    Also, the male mirror shirt looks nice but it is very plain compared to what was shown in TOS (no decoration pins, knife holster, etc). No pants were made for this shirt. In TOS Mirror Mirror they wore knee-high boots with the pant legs tucked in. We have to use cut-offs instead (all other pant options bug the sash!!!). Kirks gold sleeveless vest is also not available. It should have done been better.

    As of now, I see no reason to buy ANY uniforms from the C-Store in the future because they have not shown quality work in my opinion. I was looking forward to buying additional costumes but now I think they have lost my patronage in this area.

    Fix is up and do quality, detailed, accurate work (we should see Mirror Female uniform IDENTICAL to the in-game NPC. DON'T SKIMP ON THE DETAILS!!) then I will change my mind.

    Well thats complete BS. Sign me up for the female version of the mirror universe outfit. Especially since , as people have already mentioned, that they are already in game.

    It really upsets me (Champions Online) when a game that has parts for one side, does not have parts on the other side. For example, different hands for your Heroes. Anyone who has made a Hero and a Heroine on Champions Online knows what I am talking about if you did so before they decided to add the additional hands to the female side.

    Here we go again with uniforms. Sure, the males should not get skirts, but they should get something cool as well. Something that is for guys that girls just don't wear. I'm sure there's something...

    The females should get Mirror Mirror stuff as well. They don't even get the gloves?!?!? Same mistake as Champions Online yet again!

    And while we're at it, we definitely need more hair choices in the long department.

    Don't even know why we would have to suggest this as it should of been giving without even asking. Mirror Universe in STO as a bonus means you should have a least a male and female version. On top of that rubbing it in our faces with NPC wearing this stuff for 2 weeks now.

    I am deeply disturbed by the suggestion that we ought to ask nicely in order to possibly at some unspecified time in the future receive something that we have already paid for.

    I already voiced my opinion on the General Gameplay forum; I am seriously considering writing about this on other game forum, you know the ones that people read to determine if they want to buy a game?

    I think it is insulting that they don't consider females to be important enough to warrant uniforms, especially when they never indicated anything (and still haven't) that the Mirror Mirror uniforms were only for guys.

    The developers have said several times they were working on the MU skirt, which obviously implies there will be one.

    I don't think the person who answered the ticket knew what they were talking about.

    I certainly hope that this is the case.

    I sent Phoxe a very politely-worded PM asking about this. Maybe I'll even get a response!

    Okay did i just read this correctly THERE IS NO PLANS FOR FEMALE MIRROR UNIVERSE OUTFITS !!

    For crying out loud !!!!

    i have CO life and the mirror universe costume i thought be nice to have for my female characters in STO, i am quite upset if this is the case, you should not discriminate against the girls !!

    I was under impression that all costume pieces male and female would be included in the game, no where dio it ever say males only when i aquired my CO life.

    I am on a campaign to get skirts and long hair in the game for all genders, and well Cryptic should have had these in the game from the off. The made COh, they made CO both games have a selection of decent skirts and long hair.

    Why is it they dont want to give us skirts and long hair for this game ??

    I am hapy to buy skirt option on ctore if it becomes an option but i think they should have been included in the game from the start or ro be appled in a forth coming patch, which would pelase alot more of who want this costume piece.

    So come on Cryptic please listen and give us the choice we want on our costumes, its not as tho there wasnt any skirts or mini dresses in ST universe, so i really cant see your problem with not including them.


    Please get these in game Cryptic, as you can see there is big demand for these items.

    I have to say that "Mirror Universe uniforms" did indeed give me the expectation that I would get uniforms for any/all characters I chose to create, not only for males. And honestly, just a single shirt and sash is a bit sorry, even at that.

    I'd like to see some pants specific to the Mirror Universe uniform made for males, that work well with the sash. It would be nice to see Kirk's sleeveless shirt/vest too, though I would settle for the pants. Some good high boots to go with would be preferable too.

    But the core of the issue -- these need to be available for females too!

    Please get the female tops and skirts in and a sash and boots would really make it look right. If it takes a little time to get it right, then that's fine. But I'd really like to know you're going to honor this for everyone, not only those who make male captains. And I would hope to see it in a reasonable time-frame.

    Thank you.

    A suggestion? How about a suggestion to finish the 'set.'

    My fear is that the demand for this is a rapidly diminishing base; there was a higher demand for skirts since a lot of people picked up the DDE, but the number of people who lifetimed on CO AND got in on STO has got to be a smaller subset. They already have our money, right?

    In other words, if it took them two weeks and one character artist to make and test ONE skirt...

    I have seen no less than 2 NPC's in one mission wearing the female mirror universe uniform..... i think the customer service guys dont know what they are talking about. I think its currently "exclusive to males only" because they havent gotten around to making it for PC's yet...

    This is upsetting, the male Mirror Universe Sash looks fantastic, now why cant we have that for women. I've seen the Mirror Universe tank top and sash on NPC's so why cant we have it for characters and Bridge Officers.

    For a company that brags about awesome character customization the entire pre order costume tirade was close to epic fail. First they did not have them in, then it took them almost two weeks to get something in that looks like a skirt, and this skirt doesn't look at all like the skirt of TOS.

    Also for some wierd reason the artists did not notice that women in TOS wheren't bare legged. IMO the skirt looks rediculous with the black uniforms.

    As a wierd side note: The TOS uniform skirts come with the Mirror universe Boots. But the Mirror universe uniforms are only for males.

    Come on Cryptic, show us that you haven't unlearned everything you have learned in CoH and create something fun and interesting...

    Um, ditto.

    Glad to see the skirts and thigh high boots in the costume editor. Just one more step and I'm in Mirror heaven.
