Heh, my away team is all female, and they're already wearing the TOS MU uniforms (except for my Diplomacy Orion, I suppose). As for my main captain (male Science), I have one of my uniform slots set with the TOS uniform, and I plan on wearing that instead of my VOY/DS9 one I usually use.

Yeah, not wanting to give too much away to people who haven't played in a while, but check this link (especially the part about the November 6th episode) for a clue.
I actually think we should be automatically given TOS uniforms whilst back in the TOS time period, which then return to our normal uniform when we return. It would greatly add to the experience, and probably drive some C-Store sales from people who want to wear the uniform again
On my Fed main all of my BOffs ALREADY are wearing the TOS miniskirts (all female crew). My captain is sporting the open TWOK uniform. I've been set since day one.

THIS. This would be very cool. It would be awesome if something like this happened, even if I doubt it. Or maybe another device, like a holo-emitter, to change our clothes. It's be great, and could translate into future holodeck stuff.
One of my alts is a male human science officer in full TOS uniform. All of his BOs are females in their TOS uniforms as well. The entire crew is looking forward to next week.
Upon reflection, I'm wondering how the whole time travel thing will work in the next episode... I mean, if we have to face-to-face with some 23rd century bumpkins, they're probably going to notice, say, a Klingon in a 25th century Starfleet Uniform.
The last time travel mission, with the Guardian of Forever, worked because, well, we only used audio communication and pretty much killed anyone who saw us (save for one particular Klingon, for the sake of temporal stability). I wonder if Cryptic can pull this one off.
Is anyone else slightly bothered by all the "My all-female crew is already in TOS mini skirts lololol" posts?
Not at all. For some of us our first love was the original series. If you want, I can send you a pic of my Tellarite engineer sporting the uniform. Wait. I got rid of her. I meant my PAKLED engineer.
If you weren't bothered before, you should be now.

Remember that in 2265, the typical Starfleet officer only knows of Klingons as dirty-looking guys in striped shirts. A ridge-headed Klingon warrior would probably be an "unknown species" to a great many Starfleet officers back in Kirk's time!

But you do have to remember that Worf used a bandana/hat in Trials and Tribble-ations just to be on the safe side. And Dax "removed" her Trill spots. Can't destroy the timeline by introducing species/certain aspects of a species to early, now can we

They knew about Klingons being Ridge headed, since the federation first encountered them like that.
Otherwise, we would have to question ourselves why Worf hid his Ridges in the Tribble-Timetravel episode

who said he was hiding them? maybe he just wanted to wear a hat.

Ah, but you are forgetting what had transpired on Enterprise. According to that series, Klingons still had forehead ridges. Some lame genetic excuse is what caused the "smooth" look seen in the original series.
I may not like the series and consider it second only to the 2009 movie as worst Trek ever (Voyager comes close, but it was still better), but it's still canon.

I never really understood why Dax did that. I mean, Trill was a member of the Federation at the time

I believe that they were known of by the Federation, but I don't believe the Trill were actually a part of it. Granted, the TNG episode that introduced the Trill could be counted as discontinuity considering the differences in how the Trill themselves looked and how the Symbiote functioned... But still, the Slug came as a huge surprise to Dr Crusher.

No, I'm keenly aware of what transpired on Enterprise (I was the Decipher RPG developer during its run, so of course I watched it!), but I'm pointing out what your typical TOS-era crewmember likely knows -- especially given that the crewmembers that we see in DS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations" pay no special attention to Worf.

Good point, considering how hush-hush it was back then. They certainly wouldn't want to brag about it. Maybe I should keep my Klingon science officer on the ship, just to be safe, though.

well you're already set then

I'm not dressing up beyond our typical tactical-style uniforms.
One of my other alts is a TOS Klingon as well.

Maybe the Trill didnt have spots yet. Just like the Klingon didnt have any real ridge anymore.
