Character Creator / Tailor Addition: Borg Glove

I came across this page:

http://www.britta.com/costumes/Seven/index.html but especially look at this image: http://www.britta.com/costumes/Seven/glove.jpg (Borg Glove).

This would be a cool "glove" option in the character creator / tailor for Liberated Borg characters and I'd like to see it added to the game.

All in favor of adding the option, please post here.

Thank you!

    VERY good idea! Hell, I'd completely ignored the fact that you can't currently have such an option up till you pointed it out.

    It's like my personal 'rule' with STO, particularly cosmetic things like this: if it's been on the shows, if should be in the game somewhere.

    So yeah, consider the OP seconded, with Seven's random ear-thingy thrown in as a bonus:

    What IS that thing, anyway?


    It's a small thing, granted, but it's such a neat thing to have that it seems a shame not to put it in-game. Cryptic, "make it so!" ;)

    A 7 of 9 uniform is near the top of my list for "Must have soon!" additions, and that glove will be part of it.

    Cheers,

    Matt

    A more traditional borg-like outfit would be nice for liberated borg captain and BOs as well.

    Yeah... that's not a liberated borg's outfit, that's a plain assimilated borg's outfit.

    I find the current borg implants quite large and not very cosmetic, especially compared to Seven of Nine's ones. Surely the whole concept of Liberated Borg would be based upon Seven of Nine and Picard. They had most of the implants removed.
    Plus people want their toons and BOs to look as cool as possible, so more sleek ones would look better surely?

    Had 7 of 9's glove and occular implant in mind AS SOON as Liberated Borg was announced. We requested it back then but I think the character artists were just too busy with other things.

    Glad to see it's finally gonna be available! *excited nerd giggles*

    We currently have more than 10 "sleek 7/9 style" implants to go along with the large chunky ones the Liberated Borg get, including a near replica of the 7/9 one. Is there an example of something else you were looking for?

    The sleek ones are very much awesome. Although the eyepieces don't have the "Borg laser" effect.

    Please add the laser to some of the sleek eye wear. Also maybe more borg implants like a borg arm

    /sign on the above.

    I'd like to choose on which side, left/right, these asymetric eye pieces go. Same goes for the other implants. I know there are some pieces for each right and left, but sometimes I think one device might look better on the other side. Consider this when you make any gloves in the future.

    Additionally, make the Borg Bridge Officer costume/uniform (Borg Boff Suit) available to the Liberated Borg Player, along with any of her attachments that aren't already available (though I think they all are). I think this would take care of Happy's request, at least.

    Concurrently, make all the LibBorg features/attachments (including FX lasers) and the "Infected" skin type available to the Borg BO. This would go for any new 7of9 gloves, "cat suits", or other new Borg features.

    Lastly, it would also be nice if we could change the race of our Lib Borg Players/BOs. Right now you can only get (faction specific) Human/Klingon. Sure would be nice to pick the race too.

    Please and Thanks.

    Well the little star on her neck would be nice and the one on her arm.

    Examples of stuff i want on my Liby:

    http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/File:Seven_and_The_Doctor.jpg (Star above her neck)

    Doh, some I can find pictures of, but in the voyager episode called "Unity" there was a group of liberated borg and one of the doctors still had his implant arm.

    I don't have a picture but borg arms are shown in the "Unity" episode of voyager to still be usable after liberated.

    Next (Borg Queens Silver eyes and head piece)

    http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/File:Borg_Queen_2376.jpg



    Also, I dont know who handles this but i would like to see borg enhanced ship skins. For example:

    http://home.tiscali.nl/goosens/warpcore/en/downloads/achtergronden/voyager_borg_enhanced_800.jpg

    Please pass this on to whomever handles it. Shouldn't be hard.

    "Neck Star" is coming with the glove.

    The borg enhanced ships are awesome! We did some tests on some ships in-house, and they looked great but we are still trying to figure out how to integrate them into the game, so it's possible for the future.

    Well we did manage to get customizable 3D parts for the ablative armor on the intrepid.
    Maybe have some kind of borg armor/component ship mod similar to how kits player armor works and use what was learned with the ablative armor?
    Might take some doing, but just an idea.

    Oh and it should be an awesome badass reward from a hard Episode or STF. :D

    Can you tell us if these are going to work for both male and female characters?

    Borg laser is on some of the eye attaches. Just go to the tailor to try them out!

    They will first be available as grouped with the Seven of Nine costume, female.

    i did, but couldn't see it on any of them, should in be clear inside the tailor interface or will i need to select each and then exit in order to see if the effect is on that particular eye piece?

    And possibly a left/right option for each borg implants

    Some of them are hidden or clips with some hair styles...

    And please, infected skin for the body

    Maybe fix some of the implants clipping with eyebrows, too.
