Klingon Uniforms could be better

One thing I've noticed when walking around the Klingon starting area, Qo'nos, is that Klingon characters do not actually have access to all uniforms items (not counting the Academy set, of course). Here are some examples:

1. Gorn can be seen that have round, wooden shoulder pads unlike any I've seen on the other races' uniform selection, and when I tried to put them on my Gorn Bridge Officer, I couldn't find them. I would love it if I could put more armor on my Gorn Officers without sacrificing their distinct, almost primitive armor design.

2. Nausicaan Marines that have greaves (leg armor). I've wanted this ever since I created my first Nausicaan character and saw all the cool armor choices. I was very disappointed when I saw that I only could have tight pants on all Klingon races that makes them look very top heavy. Adding armor to these would make it look so much better, especially when you have a heavily armored Nausicaan Marine wearing skin tight pants...

3. Female Klingons have the option to have round shoulder pads that Males Klingons can't have. Why is this? I hate the look of Male Klingon shoulder pads because they're huge, making you look even more top heavy. The round shoulder pads are smaller and do not connect across the back like the others do.

I would love to see these options become availible to Klingon players.

    Most of the guards at First City and Klingon Academy are using Federation off-duty Robes under their uniform Sash/shoulder/belts. I would LOVE to see these unlocked for us, as some of those uniforms look remarkable.

    For ages now we've been asking for the sleeveless greatcoats seen on various KDF MOBs both around Quo'nos and in missions.

    Liberated Borg Klingons are missing the sleeveless chest available to Klingons, for no good reason whatsoever.

    Despite seeing Worf in off-duty Robes, we still do not have any Off-duty outfit access.



    Yeah, there are dozens of Uniform options out there on NPCs that should be immediately available to KDF, if only as a small acknowledgement that it is possible to grow beyond 16% if you take the time to cater to the MMORPG fans and not base your attitude exclusively on what Star Trek fans do. But no, apparently the team thinks their numbers are more closely related to what Trekkers and Trekkies think, not what gamers want.

    More hairstyles and outfits are needed KDF side, no doubt.

    I agree also I have noticed as most probably have that the FED side has the most costumes in game while the KDF only has one costume and its the academy set. I believe if more costumes were added for the KDF side more people would buy zen for the store. I have had countless friends that all agree it is unfair that the KDF side only has one costume in the store and they therefore cannot use their money to buy anything good as they do not particularly like the academy set.

    KDF needs a LOT of cosmetic work.

    The KDF needs actual off-duty outfits and formal wear. You have the Klingon wedding outfits worn by Worf and Jadzia in DS9. There are the Dress Uniforms worn by Chancellor Gorkon and his cadre in ST6 (Including Big-TRIBBLE Tooth cane, but that would be a stretch. :D). There's the outfit worn by Gorkon's Daughter Azetbur.

    There need to be optional skirts for the ladies as Uniform options. (Like what Lursa and B'Etor would wear).

    There also need to be general civilian clothing for the Klingons. Not everyone is a member of the KDF military or wears their uniforms 24/7.

    There need to be more options for the non-Klingon species (The previously mentioned shoulder armor for Gorn as well as a TOS and ENT era Gorn uniform).

    Finish the KDF Species. Still no female options for Gorn, Naussican, and Lethon. As I said before KDF needs more ugly womens!

    There's just simply a LOT the KDF needs.

    TOS Gorn Toga.

    More color choices for non-Klingons.

    More uniform options would be great! Some more color options would be nice even if they stick with the darker color palette, I would love a green even if it were a darker forest green.

    I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
    I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
    I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.

    I am affraid you will have no answers ... :(

    They do not communicate about that and i do not understand why.

    I love to play my Klingon char and i play STO for that.

    I resign my gold account and now I play silver because i do not understand why klingons can 't have the same outfits or contents for the same monthly fee .. :mad:

    I'm in agreement - more missions == better. But IMHO, more content in general will help correct the KDF population and attendance issues. Since Cryptic has made it clear they do not see enough of a ROI from KDF development, I'm personally pushing for more *existing* content to be opened up to the players - specifically existing costuming we already see on our NPCs.

    I would also be behind ensuring any and all content become available to us, but actually developing directly for KDF would take a marked improvement in the economy - why else would the team be so very focused on bean-counting their resources instead of taking in the whole picture and seeing beyond direct ROI?

    Some uniforms I think should be added are the Dahar master uniform, also I would like Female Klingons to get the same sleeveless armor as male Klingons get, instead of them just having the halter top looking version. Female Klingons should also get the Lursa and Betor style armor.

    On that note, Klingon females should get the bikini-style that Orion females do, as should alien females.

    The orion bikini tops are a little too foo-foo for Klingon women. I think they would need something a little more appropriate for a warrior race, something like human skulls. :D
