Dear Cryptic and to those Art Designers I admire at times for their work.

Heya, I'm a tailor addict as I proclaim... sometimes... and accused of being by friends online...
I'd like to request more hair styles... I like the long hair styles that you've created but as I'm a Starfleet Captain letting my hair down is sometimes frowned upon. but I want more! :)

anyways I played Sims2 for... well... too long. I was pretty active retexturing during the Orginal Sims making Starfleet uniforms :O !nooo waaaay!
but with Sims2 I generally kept my retexturing to myself.

anyway HAIR! I want something similar to these.
Hair-1
Hair-2

P.S. - Feds have been screaming for Bikinis for a while and I've posted a few times in previous "short/medium/long term threads" about having one piece bikinis (I have lots of experience texturing them for sims2, the way to do it is to just texture over the body texture covering the basics) example of one piece Bikini

    Some new long male styles would be nice.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    I agree a bit more of hairstyles would be nicer, as well as more C-store uniforms.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    What we REALLY need are more hair styles for the KDF. They have what, three - two dreadlocks and a topknot, in the entire Empire?

    Well here's as close as we have to a Star Trek 'canon' bikini. How'd that look for you?

    I'd like to see a few more beard styles, myself. A 5 o' clock shadow or something would be nice.

    I'd like to see longer hairstyles too, expecially if their skeletons can be applied toavoid clipping.

    One I've been wanting for some time is a decent hime-cut - kind of like this on girl-Spock: http://omtn-dnfanzz.deviantart.com/art/Star-Trek-GIRLS-POWER-III-140132466

    doesn't need to be quite as long, but, y'know...

    Yes most definately KDF Klingons need a hell of alot more hairstyles, I'd think stylish hair styles would kinda go down a treat nothing fancy with fluffy hair I mean something like these...
    some Piccys are of ladies but the idea of what I'm trying to show is within the hairstyles.
    Hair-1
    Dread Lock Style
    Braids also would be cool
    An Actual Klingon Hair style

    and that bikini Dax is wearing is fine, aslong as I get barefeet I'm happy.

    I think the character artist should draw some ideas from animes.
    I'd like to see short and long hairs like these, a men's like this, another men's like this, ooh, and one like this.

    More for women? This will do. Perhaps hip level hair? Something pinned up?

    Well?

    We need more of the styles NPCs get access to. When the /costumecreator commands were still usable you could see some of those. My personal favorite is Slicked Back 05--by far the best looking style for any race with forehead ridges, especially Cardassians!

    I'm thoroughly enjoying the posts in the thread plenty of Hair Style feed back, its really neat!

    I'm thrilled that I'm not the only one begging for more hair!

    I'm very much still in favor of the KDF getting more hair styles and uniforms, they are after all in quite despirate need of a hair salon...

    here are some more of my hair style wishes!

    I agree we could use more hair on all races... with the exception of Gorn and Saurian (that would look weird) I would prefer we stay away from the ANIME hair styles and stick with more realistic ones. I got a friend who I know would love Jean Luc Picard's hair style (yes the man has or had hair). Just use the entire series of all the Star Trek and all the movies as references.

    P.s. Where are my Deltans?

    Would be nice for more hair styles. I want to give my Rommulan long hair with Bangs. (Yeah it's the Vulcan toon, but hey close enough for a Romulan. ) Since hey Spock had long hair in The motion picture. Why not?

    I would buy a Caitian Captain, the slots for him, a ship for him, the crew, and get him to max level, and max out reputation if something like that was put in. :D

    There's a lot of long hair love in this thread already so I want to point out a couple of styles that are on the shorter side that I think the game is missing --

    Graduated Bob - There's already a bob in the game that I guess you could say is graduated, but it's way way too short to be considered the proper length of an inverted or graduated bob in my book.

    This is a longer graduated bob I would like to see.

    This is a more typical length: the Bekham Bob.

    Here's a side view of a graduated bob for better comparison.

    Again, since artists are not necessarily all about hair I want to point out that what makes a graduated bob "graduated" is the diagonal cut of the hair that eventually leads up to layered hair in the back like so.

    Wavy Bob - There's an extreme lack of wavy hair in STO. So much so that actually, I don't know where to begin. But since I'm on the topic of bobs, I might as well throw in a wavy bob like so.

    There's also unusual hybrids of style and length that end up making very futuristic looks (and dare I say fitting for a futuristic MMO?) like this ultra-long bob style.

    On the topic of shoulder length hair though, black female styles are extremely poorly represented. Where's this relaxed afro in game?

    The Pouf Ponytail is modern, aggressive, and dare I say a heroic pony tail that not only says get out of my way -- it says get out of my way with style!

    And please don't forget that the tail can be doing different things on a pouf ponytail, like this waviness going on!

    I'm sure more ideas will come to me. :)

    Back when Stahl used to do engineering reports he always put 'hair fx' into the list.

    Im not sure what it is or what it would do but I imagine it may well still be something they want to add. This could add more styles...

    As a Klingon player I would like a few more hairstyles than dreads however. Not many Klingons in Trek actually had dreads but there we go...

    it would be nice if the character hair were to move when you do rather than it being in some form of isolated stasis.

    It would be better if the hair were realistic and characters had some animation available (if only for roleplay purposes) to put it right after a battle or something for example you're running down a corridor and have your hair bobbing or waving behind you (relative to run speed of course) or if you get blasted across the room and land on the floor your hair reflects this and then you can use the animation option shown above to fix it (and have a reset on map change)

    ^ to the post just above ^

    I've heard things, rumours most probably. that the future hair updates that have been mentioned by Stahl, the update "or just new hair added in game" are going to actually move.

    I am hoping that this is true and hopefully IS true, there are plenty of things currently ingame that are pointing to STO being improved.

    for instance, on New Romulus, you'll notice little patches of blue leaves. if you watch closely they react to the player running by them, asif generating wind.
