Yeah, yeah, it's off Memory Gamma but whatever, it's beautiful and only a billion times better looking than all of the terribad metallic spandex armor we're stuck with :eek:

This armor relates to the pseudo-canon Starfleet Marine Corps (Memory Beta).

That is the body armor of the guys from the game HAZE.

do your research.
and its ugly.
Don't care.
No, it's not. STO's armor is ugly.
So you don't care what stuff you post or how relevant it is regarding Star Trek or STO?
I'm a starfleet officer, not a military grunt.
So don't wear it?
No offense but the C-Store is already loaded with stuff for you feel to pretty while you play Dress-Up...
Cavadus, you shouldn't create a thread that begs for the opinions of others and then flatly refuse to consider any opinions different than yours. It really only comes off as childish.
The suggester amrour looks vulgar. Not at all Trek and is trying too hard to look masculine. Grrr, look at me in my bulky armour!
No offence, but I believe it is you, not me, who is asking for more ways to visually 'dress-up' your toons. One costume is quite enough for my liking.
"Memory Gamma (or MG) is the place for all your Star Trek fan fiction sometimes known as fanon. Please contribute whatever you want that's Star Trek!"
The entire site is fan fiction. Anything sourced from it holds about as much water as a Kirk/Spock slashy. i would suggest that if there is content to be added to the game... it is, at best, going to come from Memory Beta, and more likely from Memory Alpha.
I like it better than the metal skin tight body suits we have in-game now personally. Hopefully CBS will give the OK as ALL content Cryptic adds to STO goes through them for permission.
Ideally, if you could find a hard looking suit that was in any of the TV shows or movies it would be a lot easier for Cryptic to have a chance of adding it.. Fan fiction stuff gets into hazy licensing issues that, from what I have seen, CBS just does not want to deal with (like the no on Kizinti in ST Animated Series as the KDF version of a Caitian since Larry Niven has the rights).
Good luck.
That and I'd rather not have my character look like somoen out of HALO.
Bleah, HALO.
You should care, there's this little thing called copyright...
And that suit is clunky as heck. How do you walk with so much bulk?
Would definitely disable visuals for this one.
And sexy?... wut?
Methinks even a blind man would go "dude, what the hell".
Do care, because violating intellectual property rights is a big no-no for game development.
There's nothing wrong with that by itself, of course. Even Starfleet, especially in this time of conflict, needs a few good men and women who will gladly don their armor and fight for the Federation.
Me, I like my comfy bridge and faux-leather uniforms. I dun wanna get'em dirty.
Not enough shoulder pad. I want my away team in battle armor with corsets. I won't be happy until that happens.
Actually, I'm happy with the fact I don't have to have to display the armor. I like being in 'standard' uniforms, like in the shows.
On that vein, I want my away team to basically be walking tanks.
New armors, maybe even bulky looking ones, would be good. I mean look at our officers! The Federation is at war with...well everyone and our Starfleet Officers look like they escaped from Gotham City or Metropolis!!
Is that Star Trek?
I don't know. I think we need some armor but I also think we need some new stuff there! We have different parts to chage the appearance of our ships but we all wear the same armor...
I'm normaly not one who compares one MMO with another but I have to say that I liked the way Star Wars Galaxies dealt with the whole armor thing. You had separate parts that you could mix and match as you liked, you where even able to wear belts, backpacks or clothes over your armor. If it is possible to do something like that with our ships here in STO, wouldn't it be possible to do it for our Captains and BOFFs too?
I think it would be a cool addition.
But the Devs want to give us more customization for our Charakters and even bring EVA Suits in an upcomming Season or FE, so we'll see.
Why look like a walking tank when you can go out in style?
It's Star Trek, there really shouldn't be any armor at all..
This, I think Mobility is much more important in the Star Trek Universe, strapping metal and shield generators to your body might seem smart but that stuff weighs you down,(even with mobility enhancing equipment) maybe even enough for the enemy to chuck a bunch of Photon and Plasma grenades at you and promptly turn you into a well cooked soldier.
As been said, we are playing the Captains, we are not assault troops, our away teams are better compared to a Recon team. (In spite of the way some missions play out)
Ew! Ew! Ew!
At least she knows to call it 40k.
Personally I prefer the light fast stuff, like scout armor. Also inspired by John Steakley's Armor.
I'd dig up some of my power armor designs but I have plans for them, (that and I would have to scan them). According to the EULA Cryptic would own them if I posted them here. *I'd put a paranoid emoticon here if the site had one*
I wonder how that would work if I posted a link to Photo Bucket?
