Additional Character Costume - TOS Wrap Around Top

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
This has been only touched on in a few threads (I used Search for it before starting this thread) but I'd like to see an addition to costuming added to the game: The TOS Captain's Wrap Around Tunic.

There are three variants shown in TOS:

1) Brown Suede Fabric worn by Charlie in "Charlie X." This version is a bit bulky, slightly loose and made of the same material as the season one phaser holster sashes and is worn with a turtle neck shirt under it. The turtle neck shirt would be the major graphical difference between this and the other two versions.

2) Kirk's Version One has the rank braids set up at the neck line in a arrow head pattern, a black seam with golden piping and is worn with no visible undershirt (although there is a picture of Shatner wearing a low cut tank top between cuts having a smoke with De Kelly which could have been worn under it).

3) Kirk's Version Two has the braids moved to the sleeves and is a more durable material (no real graphical change there for the game) with the black seam and piping removed. Once again - no visible under shirt.

I would love to have this in game. One convention the programmers would have to make is to move the communicator pin to the breast instead of at the waist because of the animation of the characters tapping their badge to be beamed up but I think it would still be a great add to the game's appearance.

    I was thinking just this yesterday. It would be really neat to add this on to the other ToS uniforms they already have.

    The nice part is that, graphically, they already have a programming base to start from if they want to short cut their way to it. One of the off duty jackets is a wrap style of sorts and shares a few appearance properties with the TOS wrap.

    Here's for hoping!

    TOS is my favorite series (and the one I grew up with) so any of these or all of them are extremely welcome to me. It seems that they all would be graphiclly easy to do, like the female TOS option.

    I think the big issues with this are created bare Caitian male chests and Trill male chests.

    Caitains would only have the option to have a shirt underneath until the fur texture was fixed.
    What's wrong with Trill male chests? are'nt they human looking (sorry for my lack of DS9 knowledge:o)

    I'm actually hoping they'll introduce most of the uniform variants at some point. I'd love to have Dr. Crusher's lab coat and the TOS movie bomber jackets to start.

    And if they solve it (crosses fingers) we can have the Tattered Classic Top!

    I agree. The bomber jacket that Scotty and Kirk wore in the later TOS movies would also be a wonderful addition to the game.

    The spots go all the way down.

    LOL! Nice. Hadn't thought of that.

    How...pervy. (Thinks about the various female incarnations of Dax in the buff.) I like it!

    Sign me up!!! I will pay good C-Store bucks for this option!!! Make your Captain stand out even more! I have been championing for this alternate option since we first got TOS uniforms!

    I was all excited when I saw several new options in the Tailor window for costume modifications...and still no wrap tunic. Poo. Soon, I hope.

    I have been asking for this for a while. I am even wearing the green TOS wrap-around for Halloween. I have always loved this uniform.

    that being said...you can currently at least APPROXIMATE it with current off duty uniform options:

    I didn't know zombie was a playable race in-game. What combo did you use to approximate the tunic like that?

    Heh, it's amazing what you can do with concave spots and the infected skin pattern for the alien race :)

    As for the tunic, it is just the Off Duty Casual Wear for federation officers, colored green with gold trim and a black colored under shirt.

    Not perfect, maybe a bit closer to Charlie X's civilian attire than Kirk's wrap. But the closest I could create with current uniform options.

    Nicely done. I used the same wrap and managed to make it look like good leather.

    If we get the dev's attention to this, they might work on them and they could be in the c store short after the seven of nine costume. Along with the nx-01 jumpsuits and the T'pol outfits. Oh we haven't considered it as a possible weekly series reward! Could be. Or a TOS phaser as stated earlier, just saying, they might suprise us with the episode 'Everything old is new again'

    I'd actually like to see all the old phaser designs show up. The ST3 version especially but also Andrew Probert's concept design for the TMP version which had sweeter lines to it than the filming model.

    yes I'd love to see a WOK phaser because my vulcan admiral and his bridge officers all wear their uniforms WOK style. and then there is the famous Undiscovered Country Assault phaser...Also like to see the standard TNG/DS9 phaser rifles. And while were at it, I'd like the Klingon and Romulan Disruptors to be more true to canon too:) I'm sure I'm not the only one. Oh one more thing, Cardassian disruptors should be available to Feds and klings

    I really like the charlie x shirt, that would have a lot of potential, and I might even ask it to be made an off duty option.

    Technically it already is. One of the shirts in the Off Duty line is a wrap with an undershirt like that. You just have to tweak the colors on both halves and you're there. I've got one of my toons wearing it to look like the brown suede of the X version and another toon wearing one in split brown and black and the pants with the thigh stripes matching the color combo.

    I got a compliment running a ground PvP mission from a player on the other team.

    I would love to see them as duty uniforms like the TOS standard ones are.
