    Thanks to the Great Bird of the Galaxy, these are not per character unlocks. So, does this mean there will be a later TNG Admiral's uniform in the works?

    Sold!

    Love me a new uniform pack, and the standard uniform in their seals the deal - skant next month? ;-)

    I'd like to see costume accessories for the Federation like the KDF has. Gauntlets, boots with geometry, shoulder pads, etc.

    Am I the only one who has trouble seeing any pictures on the STO site using Chrome? Even disabling AdBlock yields no difference. Had to actually dust off IE to see the pictures of the outfits (which look dandy, BTW).

    I don't care how long you've been playing. I only care about how you play.
    And remember to follow the rules.

    Yup, sold. Haven't bought a costume pack in a long time (got a DS9 reward box off the exchange). I only have 2 feds, but including BOFFs that's close to 20 possible characters to dress up. Putting all my BOFFs in EV suits kinda defeats the purpose of choosing department heads. :rolleyes:

    I hope this cements the trend of cosmetic account-wide. I can see how they internally justified the EV suit as armor, but that's not why I buy costumes.

    Hoping to see the return of ship skins too.

    @obsidiusrex: I'm using Chrome right now and no issues. I have the Stylish forum header remover installed too.

    should've added the skant with this.

    what about the medical tunic and medical overcoat?

    Could we have a more useful dev blog next time please - there's barely any information at all on the star base construction projects:

    How does the Fleet Costume Option differ from Fleet uniforms?

    How do Advanced/Elite and other MKXII gear compare - are the silver/new models next to the star base vendor going to be used??

    Whats the Holo deck for - featured/limited project?

    The player base is putting in a lot of effort and resources only to have these questions answered by ourselves whenever we complete the relevant construction project. I believe that more information on these projects and and up and coming featured projects would be beneficial to all the players.

    Any chance for proper "Admirals jackets" being added to the existing Canon Uniform Packs? Not interested in buying the "DS9 Pack", just so I can get the Admirals jacket. I already bought the DS9 Uniforms, Admirals jacket should've been included/added already.

    Don't quote me on this, but I've a feeling the medical tunic and overcoat may end up being Tier rewards for Medical category of the Duty Officer system.

    That is if/when they get round to fleshing out the rewards for the Doff system, so far Diplomacy is the exception to the rule regarding tier rewards.


    PS; Regarding Spikes page, good to see it still online, I remember discovering that site around a decade ago. My god, now I feel old :confused:

    Sadly they had to pick the fugliest of all of the Admiral's uniforms to make! )= When it comes to uniforms, I think Cryptic needs to start with Admiral Janeway's uniform. That's canon and specific to the time period in-game. I would really like this though along with a full batch for all ranks for the TWoK uniforms.

    No Sash or Worf Hair?

    I wouldn't mind picking up some new costumes, but considering I already have 1/2 of this pack the price isn't worth it for the admiral costume.

    But hey guys keep up the good work and push out something I will buy.

    Looks really good. If I have some zen, I take it.

    But I really miss something in the line of off duty and formal uniforms for FED and anything different for KDF.

    Why no one-piece again? You had time to make some pants for it since the anniversary preview of this....

    And that you CAN do seamless parts I know, because you already did it with the TOS female dresses...

    I am using Chrome and didn't have any problems seeing the images.

    The August update to Chrome did some TRIBBLE around with Flash, though - they added a 2nd type to the browser - and coupled with the Flash already on the computer that's causing some issues with some images and crashes while watching videos. I disabled both versions of Chrome's Flash and that seems to have fixed it... for now.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    No, not at all. I get the issues too. I was speaking to someone on twitter, flush your browsing data, that should sort it, but yeah - there seem to be issues with Chrome.

    When I read the headline i started to get excited, only to find that this "pack" has only one new thing I don't already have, and it's not any of the things I was hoping for. Aka, the skant, and the tng dress uniforms.

    In regards to Klingons, to be honest, their fashion hasn't really changed THAT much, but I would have liked to have seen Lursa and B'etor clothing options.

    i love how people are complaining about this , when its the same price as every other uniform unlock AND gives you two sets of costumes , there are more than a few that missed the 25th rewards , and its nice they have a chance to get one of them

    I can't wait, but I still want some skants! :P Also, best post ever from the thread!
    KDF barley has anything new. Add something of intrest. DONT GIVE ME A DUMB LITTLE PET OR A "" CRAPPY THING. I was thinking of a ship since the newest KDF was Borstaqu which is 4 Federation Ships ago. Costumes aren't really good for KDF either. ONly Academy. There HAS to be mroe than that. Also the "" quests are bad as well. All WE do is find a Romulan assasin (1 Quest) Help a House (1 Quest) Atack Feds (2 Quest) Gre'thior (4 Quests) and Again Romulan Rebel (1 Quest). Feds have Q and Wormhole and A LOT more than I can say. KDF has much more backroudn than Romulans and Gre'thor I KNOW it. I mean even the FEDS have more missions to fight the Empire. And dont jsut add 1 little tiny quest either. I mean a whoel series of quests that you need to scrol a lot on.... like cathing up to 70 like the Feds did. You slack on the Empire like half dead gagh and it has to stop. So either good ship(s), A real descent amount and quality quests, good costumes, etc.... cause if you don't.. the complaints will keep coming in. Especially when i complained about that new FED ship that can make gas and explode it. YAH LIEK THERES ANYTHING LIEK THAT ON KDF. Well Qapla' and a Peta'Q.

    did he write that in klingon ? :rolleyes:
    i can see his point though , kDF needs new shinies badly , but threatening to get mad and complain isnt the best way to go about it methinks :(

    bunch of kdf should go to next convention dev team are at and blockade the stand lol
    + points if they're in costume

    :rolleyes: It always feels like a low blow when the price for a c-store item is just above the purchasable multiple of zen. It may as well be 501 zen I'm still going to have to buy 1,000 zen if I want to get it.

    At least its account wide and its good for anyone who missed the worf event and anyone rolling out a new alt who wants to wear the uniform

    now how about a TNG interior pack?

    You do realize you can earn about 50 Zen worth of Dilithium in 2-3 hours of average play? Heck, I can earn that in about an hour. You don't need to buy the extra 500 Zen. :)
