Beating the Dead Horse: Uniforms

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
-Enlisted/Flag Officer Uniforms...

***Enlisted for NPC crew

***Flag Officer versions of canon uniforms (other than standard duty uniforms)

--When are we getting them?

-Dynamic Rank Insignias for Wrath of Khan uniforms...

--When?

Turn Accolades into "ribbons" that can be worn on dress uniforms similar to decorations on current Military Uniforms or wherever Awards & Decorations show up in Trek episodes.

Last one is no big deal, but the first two annoy me, and probably many other players.

    Starfleet doesn't have anyone elisted other than Chief O'Brian... I thought everyone knew that :D

    As for flag officer uniforms, I'm wearing one right now.

    I like your ribbons for accolades idea, though it could rapidly turn into everyone looking like a bannana republic general. Perhaps a ribbon for completing each non fleet/stf mission per front. (all klingon missions completed, romulan, etc.)

    If DS9 were made today, I wonder if they would incorporate social commentary on an officer being stop-lossed?

    [edit] Bad example, that would be like stop lossing someone for WWII.

    Simplest way to include 'ribbons' and medals for accolades would be to have the graphics for them be not specific to individual accolades, but rather a total accolade score. In say 500 or 1000 point steps.

    Could be particularly interesting for Klingons. They're a bit more inclined to wear those things on their baldrigs on a daily basis.

    I'm fairly sure the Klingons would rather get some more clothes to expand their selection beyond four pieces per tab. There are some very iconic items being missed dearly. :p

    Yeah, not sure the accolades as ribbons is such a good idea. There are so many accolades people would have ribbons running up over their shoulders and half way down their backs. I'd have to change my rank from Vice Admiral to El Presidente For Life. Maybe I'd just go with "Fearless Leader" instead. Rename two of my BO's Boris and Natascha....

    Hmmm....

    Maybe make a couple of new BO's... a short alien and a tall alien...name them Moose and Squirrel......

    OK, yeah..I support the accolades as ribbons idea afterall.

    The only uniform I care about is the cleavage uniform I voted for.

    Simply love this idea, how about only being able to have 2-4 accolade/ribbons on your captain at any one time? This way we won't have people with their entire uniform covered with accolades/ribbons and you can choose to show off you most hard won accolades e.g. kill 1000 borg.

    I would still choose more (and more varied) end-game content over this.

    All I have been seeing for like 4-5 months now is new uniforms/ship variants, while flashy and nice it leaves one wanting for actual content. Yes, the most recent season update was great, but I really would like to see the manpower from the uniform/ship variant content shifted to making missions, fixing bugs, pushing forward.

    What I want to know is why we have to wear a uniform when we are off duty: Ie - the Casual slot.

    The three options, casual, formal and standard indicates that we use the casual for off duty hours in the bar and for socialising. I want Jeans and T Shirt. I've been wearing uniforms all the time so I resent having to wear it off duty as well.

    Oh: and trainers too instead of boots.

    Gah, not again! *tries to slap it away but it cloaks before being hit* Grr. That damn thing keeps beaming my cookies away!

    I don't believe those are the same teams - artists who model and render ships/uniforms do not necessarily know how to script missions. Plus, I would appreciate the Klingon faction getting at least 25% of the clothes available to the Federation... :rolleyes:

    THe AGT uniforms haven't been released yet, however it DOES seem that they are still tweaking them, I posted a problem with them clipping the rank pips at certain angles, and it seems that tihs has at least been partially corrected (incidentally this was several weeks ago), so hopefully we'll see them soon.


    The WoK rank pins are high on MY list (as I have posted a few times about them), but they don't seem to be high on the Devs list (probably because there is no money in it for them, as the uniform is free).

    I like the accolade idea, but there needs to be a way to keep it to a minimum, something like Kill accolades, rank accolades and SOME mission accolades, but regular "campaign" ribbons would be a little overbearing.
