We did indeed begin making some assets for a Star Trek XI (2009) uniform set, but CBS did not approve them for the final shipping game.
The JJ Trek is definitely Star Trek canon, and although an alternate timeline was spawned during the events of the 2009 film, those evens have had a large lasting impact on the "prime" timeline of Star Trek. The prime timeline universe that STO is set in.
That's why we not only acknowledge the events of the film in STO, but they play an active part in our story. (Romulus monument, etc)
It's not that CBS didn't like the JJ assets we created for STO, there are just some things that will take longer to approve, or fall under different approval guidelines than the rest of Star Trek. Unfortunately, the JJ stuff didn't make the cut for launch.
Maybe we can use them in the future? Who knows. But for now, they are not available for anyone in the Live game.
I still want vulcan casual/ robes, the kolinar robes from TWOK, Their uniforms, Diplomatic garb with the emblems. there is a whole slew of vulcan related garb on many series.
Future "all good things" style, Motion Picture Uniform, Enterprise - Top of "To Do" list. (hopefully about to be moved to our "coming soon" list.
Dress Uniforms - A very similar uniform to these are currently rewarded for reaching the top Diplo Corps rank.
Off duty- 2 more packs coming soon... Formal, and Mercenary
Good suggestions!
Cheers,
Matt
Matt, thanks for that info! Unlike many people, I too actually like TMP uniforms (specifically the dark grey/white one Kirt wore at one point that Pike mimicked at the end of JJ Trek), so woot to those!!! And who wouldn't want a Lieutenant Ilia skirt/costume?
Anyway, I remember the pix posted several weeks (months?) ago for the Merc-wear, and I'm really looking forward to those!! Please tell me the eye-patches made it in! :rolleyes:
Can you confirm or deny if these new costumes (worries me when you say "packs") will be available in-game automatically through the tailor, will they be in-game via some sort of quest/mission reward or otherwise purchasable with in-game currency (GPL comes to mind, especially for Mercenary gear), or will we have to buy them separate in the C-Store (I hope not the later)?
Are these going to come with their own costume slots? Or are we going to have to add (buy) those too?
Appreciate your time/input!
P.S. If I may make a suggestion/request. I know we've got Geordi's visor, and mostly eye problems have been corrected by the Marvels of Modern (Trek) Medicine, but could you please introduce eye-glasses and possibly goggles for our characters (ideally a couple varieties)? Helmets (hats) would be nice too.

1) The Motion Picture Uniforms were the absolute worst uniforms in all of Star Trek.
2) We need bikinis/swimsuits in our off-duty options. I'm sick of going to Risa fully clothed and seeing all these FED RACES wearing Orion outfits that I'm not allowed to wear. >.<
Personally, I'd be very excited to get the original concept uniforms that appeared in the early art releases from both the Perpetual and Cryptic teams. Both of those sets are are quite awesome. I can haz?
All of these are awesome suggestions (except IMO the TMP iniforms...YECK!) but nobody else wants bathing suits for Risa? This is something I'd love to see included with another round of off-duty wear.
Also, I def wanna see Enterprise era uniforms and that First Contact/TNG movie admiral's uniform that B.Donaldson linked to

Hey I wont complain at all if it gets me a short sleeve uniform top finally! Heck I would be happy with the DS9 ones like O'Brien had.
That skant gave us Zap Brannigan, though, so all is forgiven.
I suspect the real reason we haven't seen TMP uniforms yet is because the tech just plain doesn't exist for all the men's perms that would need to accompany it.

If you DO use them, I'd suggest two things:
A recruitment promo with the film sequel for players. Especially if you can get STO promo codes into theaters with ticket purchase or at a restaurant (national chain this time please) doing a ST XII tie-in.
But in terms of real, in-game use, I'd suggest having a ship from the JJ-verse wind up in the Prime timeline. Obviously not the Enterprise.
And rather than make the shirt itself a simple C-Store unlock, what would be incredible is if entering the code from the ticket purchase let you do the "crossover mission" with a ship from the JJ-verse and then get their uniforms and ship specs as a reward at the end.

We do, its pretty much a given now, so many have asked for it. I believe they've been commented on before, so I only am mentioned stuff that hasn't been asked for a lot already. but if it helps, I want Risa outfits/bathing wear asap, as well as more usefullness of the planet. It should have games and diplomatic quests.

Completely agree....
I'd also like some other TOS clothing....the gorn sparkly cave man bikini thing, some of the goofy civilian clothes, etc.

Yes! This will sate the canon-beast in me.
I'll also throw out a request for TWOK-era Enlisted uniforms, as well as more rank insignia for that era.
Also, some of the cool engineering suits from TMP era and TNG coveralls would be neat for my BOFFs.

better link
http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Vulcan_uniform
some bajoran ones too are neet
http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Bajoran_uniform
Please, please, don't put em all in the C-Store
I'd also sign +1 for the TOS dress uniforms the OP mentions. And when are we gonna see the MU Captain's shirt (vest) (http://a2.vox.com/6a00e398d128f1000401098112436a000c-500pi)? Or the TOS "wrap shirt" or "fat shirt" (http://19.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kw9xc9jOrw1qa917bo1_500.jpg)? Those would be cool.

So bad they're good?
And hey, are they really worse than the skant?
They really did look like pyjama's
I like this idea a lot.

So Mercenary will not be available to BOs or Klingons?
I disagree with nothing you said, but... the links you put in your post do not work for me.
The Skants are awesome and I know a lot of people want them.
I feel these are needed uniforms not already mentioned.
A much needed Addition to the uniforms available: (both for males and females):
