    I could see this packed in as part of a Star Trek: Voyager bundle, but by itself?

    I'll pass.

    ...It looks nice, but I'd rather have some nice KDF costume unlocks. I've already got a bunch for the Fed side of things.

    They look really nice. I'd love to have them.
    Not going to be buying anymore Federation costume pieces until they give the KDF something new. Anything new. The last (how many?) c - store additions have all been federation (except the ridiculous expensive suit - which was for both).

    So, beautiful new costume set.
    Totally worth buying and using.

    Not getting my money for it, until the KDF gets some attention.

    Peace, Love and Strawberries

    Cryptic, I have money. Please give me a reason to give it to you.

    They make me think to this. And TBH I don't need more costume options for my fed chars, I already have enough of them. :)

    Nice, I've been looking forward to seeing those VOY racing uniforms in-game! I may switch my current SFA uniform for it depending on how I can recolor it!

    A great costume addition.

    A shuttle race queued event is badly needed.

    They look good, and top and bottom look like they blend perfectly to appear as a one piece suit. I wonder why the S1 TNG uniforms did not have this done to them, as they are supposed to be one piece as well....

    Well, at least it's account wide (Fed) unlock.

    I second this. I REALLY wanted them to fix TWoK uniforms before F2P. It is really a shame that you have to "buy" them now and they still look like TRIBBLE!. I mean no changable rank and even the rank is broken (looks bent).

    I agree. And, if the trend continues I'll look for something else to play. I hear Mechwarrior Online is pretty badass...then there's the upcoming Heroes and Generals, Transformers Universe Online, Silent Hunter Online, etc.

    I'll admit those indeed are nice outfits, they really caught my interest in the VOY ep.

    However if releasing a couple costumes is your plan for the foreseeable future, you really should craft something for the KDF. There's not much to choose from over there...
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    I want proper TWOK uniforms, and the CnC uniform, it's the admiral's uniform, look closely -- see other starfleet personnel (most likely admirals/vip's) are wearing them.

    Nice looking uniform... but I can't see why I would use it.

    Sorry. :o

    A shuttle racing uniform, with no shuttle race? ya, makes sense.

    can you guys please just hook up and make more widely available all the costume chunks kdf npcs have so players can use them? big over the shoulder cloaks, boots and wrist bands only npcs have, and a bunch of other dodads too. or make something that looks more like what they had in canon? no were is there a discrepancy between kdf and federation like there is where consumes are concerned :(

    sure,

    of course

    i'll take that...

    i bought every (account wide) costume pack so far, can't get enough of those,
    and i always liked that "Drive" uniform, so thats a no-brainer.

    But come on, the KDF NEEDS some more options... the FEDs are already at *fluffy fluff* levels now with their c-store releases, the Klingons still need something that puts them beyond the launchday basics...

    and what happened to the approach to have something for BOTH factions in every pack?
    (like the eyepatch...)?

    Season 7 shuttle race to go with uniforms? Or shuttle race event coming soon!?

    I posted directly on the blog but will reiterate here:

    I applause the account-wide unlock that is a step in the right direction. The art looks exceptional I applaud that too.

    However, once again whomever decided the price has failed the game again. Although all other account-wide uniform packs are priced at the same level (550 zen = $5.50), realistically they are all over-priced (sans the ones that have multiple options).
    • One Option per sex = $1.25
    • Two options per sex = $2.50
    • Three options per sex = $3.75
    • Four or more options per sex = $5.50

    Anything else in my opinion does not provide "good value"for my money :).

    These uniform packs are great looking. But the devs don't seem to have the courage to stand up and answer a simple question that is asked (often by me) every time one of these comes out: why are they not being put in the Foundry?

    I think, for starters, that they should look at making off duty uniforms faction neutral... including the silly tux. Raise the price if need be on off-duty uniforms, maybe bundle in a weapon.

    Then get to work on Captain Proton stuff. Or Viking wear. Or baseball uniforms.

    Uniforms should be faction specific.

    Non-uniform clothes could CONCEIVABLY be worn by anyone. Some are silly but just make the price proportional to how silly the costume is. Heck, going by the STO tie-in novel, the Gorn should have quite the interest in baseball.

    They look very nice, and I remember that show on Voyager. However at this time, I have no clue on how to use this. So for now I will pass until I can figure out a more proper use.
