    You asked for it. Here it is. The Casual / Non-commissioned Personnel Uniforms Guide.

    Some of these are based on costumes seen in the series. Others are based on those seen in-game. While still others are based on various other sci-fi material. This is just the beginning. There are many more to come. I hope you all like them.

    Astronaut
    Astronaut Casual
    Doctor 1
    Patron
    Tourist

    In addition all TNG Klingon and VOY Klingon uniforms have been updated to the new style.
    More to come soon.

    Enjoy!

    And here is the Jupiter 3 Variant I've been asked about recently.

    You'll notice that Commander Menn Hilo (Master of Ceremonies) actually wears a belt with gold trim, instead of silver. We cannot change the color of the metallic parts of the Jupiter Veteran Belt, so I guess we just have to make due. Also, the shades of gold used on his badge are obviously not from the metallic shades we are allowed. Again we just have to make due with what we have.

    Menn Hilo Variant

    This has been added to the Jupiter Uniforms section under the Jupiter 3 Veteran heading for easy reference.

    Enjoy!

    Any chance of adding 25th century Borg Assimilated Starfleet Uniforms to the list?

    That would require a lot of trips into Borg space (gotta check against the real thing to make sure they match properly), but I'll see what I can do.

    Thank you for that latest addition, sir! It's great! :cool:

    I don't suppose you could create a guide for the uniform worn by the Transporter Chief in the Player's Ship interior please? It might just be a case of changing the colour config but could you possibly cast your eye over it and see what you think and whether you feel its deserving of a guide of its own?

    Thanks in advance, mate!

    Certainly. I'll gladly look into that for you.




    Incidentally, all TNG Technician, TNG Mirror and TNG Film uniforms have now been updated.

    All Bajoran Uniforms have been updated.

    In addition I added a new one to the line up. This one isn't canon, but I've worn it in-game for a while now and I've had a number of people ask me to make a guide for it. So, here it is.

    Bajoran Stealth / Section 31 Uniform

    This has been added to both the Bajoran and Section 31 areas for ease of reference.

    Enjoy!
    More updates to come.

    Thanks for those, mate! Looking great as always! I'm also looking forward to seeing the updates to follow. :)

    I don't suppose you could do a guide for the uniform that Commander Wildman wears please? And I think there's two Captains and a Chief Medical Officer over on Deep Space 9 that have uniforms that might be worth you taking a look at and possibly creating guides for. I think there's probably a fair few NPC's uniforms you could look at for possibly making guides tbh. But, like the Player's ship Transporter Chief they just might be cases of changing the colour config but maybe you could cast your eyes over them and see what you think?

    Keep up the great work, pal!

    You're welcome and thanks!

    I've added those uniforms to my to do list.

    Speaking of Klingon Faction uniforms, did they ever fix that bug where after the second or third bridge officer the colors sync?

    No, actually on Test that problem seems to be getting worse.

    Blackavaar, I'm wondering if you ever attempted to do a mock-up of the outfits worn by the Department of Temporal Investigations? I know I'm not sure what uniform pieces I should attempt to color in that somewhat black color they wore for their outfits.

    DTI doesn't really have a uniform, it's sort of a civilian agency. What Dulmer and Lucsly wore was basically just 24th century office attire. So I think you need to take this one to Cryptic. (Why did we get 21st century suits, but not 24th/25th century ones? There's been plenty of civilian clothes seen throughout the series.)

    That is true. But I'll give it a go on a mock-up anyway, Spike.

    All Orion uniforms have now been updated to the new style. This completes the KDF updates.

    I will be working on reshoots for the TMP and WoK guides this weekend. Look forward to seeing them as well as a couple of new things next week.

    Until then, enjoy!

    Thank you again for your tireless efforts, sir! All very much appreciated as always! :cool:

    Must admit that I thought you or I was going mad because on first glance at that post above of yours I thought you had written "All ONION uniforms..." I literally did a double-take until I realised it was just me. I've gone mad. :o;)

    Sorry guys but I have no updates for you this week. I figured since I was redoing the WoK uniforms I might as well redo the Security and Enlisted uniforms (to better represent them) as well as some details of the others, so it's taking me longer than I had anticipated. However, I was able to get a few new things done I think you might like.

    DS9 Command Variant - Captain James Kurland
    DS9 Operations Variant - Commander Adina Charles

    These have been added to the 25th Century Variants section for easy reference.

    and....

    Klingon Baldrics (Sashes)

    For these I chose the uniforms I thought looked best with each just for display purposes. They work well with most any Klingon uniform however. Why these only become available at certain ranks is beyond me as rank really has nothing to do with them except in the case of TOS where only the Commander ever wore a baldric. The symbols and medals on these are representative of a Klingons House and/or the battles in which they have fought and have nothing to do with rank. I listed the most appropriate time period for each also. I hope you like them.

    ENT/Merc Style - Available at Lt Commander

    T01 01
    T01 02
    T01 03

    TOS Style - Available at Commander

    T02 01
    T02 02
    T02 03

    TNG Style - Available at Captain

    T03 01
    T03 02
    T03 03

    25th Century Style - Available at Admiral

    T04 01
    T04 02
    T04 03
    T04 04

    Enjoy!

    Hey Blackavaar, dunno if you saw it yet, but a "Vedic" robe has been sneaked into the off-duty robe section. Top, Bottom, and chest options.
