Dear Cryptic,
Would it be possible to get some sort of armoured helmet / headgear added into the game? I do find it hard to believe that with all that liquid plasma and disruptor bolts flying around that our rather pretty fed and klink captains would be poking their heads up at all. I daresay that the "canon" type people would say, "well you never see Jean Luc or Janeway wear helmets" - which is true, but perhaps if the protagonist of the series wore helmets would you be able to tell who was who?
Was thinking that if this was a well received idea by the community, to save devs and artists works, perhaps ask the said community for input and graphic sketches etc?
Kindly discuss and perhaps post some pics

I'm still hopeful that the TMP uniform set might introduce the security armor/helmet combo. I think that might be a good place to start. Assuming that it's possible at all.
I could see an application for helmets if they absorbed energy, or used something to deflect energy weapons.
As others said, though, they would have to design helmets that accounted for customized head options.
And with the absorption of hits, not so fussed about that especially if helmets did provide bonuses then players would be discriminated against for not using them, I just thought it could be a little more immersive if it looked like your boffs and captains were suited for war when you beam down to ground combat.
Star Trek VI says otherwise
JJ Star Wars Trek wasn't a Star Trek movie! *flail*
Oh and very ouch, yes.
Well why would they bother? chest is much larger target and a weapon on kill is just as effective either way.
Do you Trek much??
Not very nice, I thought it said XI at a glance. Enjoy your smirk at my expense.
