Hehe....seems that the TOS uniform will be an option by some means after all. Nice.
<snipped the kitty part>
Well, since the LoR site states "Create your first character as a member of the Federation, Klingon Empire, or Romulan Republic and level your captain from 1 to 50." and "Play as a Romulan or Reman and immerse yourself in new story-driven missions written exclusively from the Romulan Republic's point of view." I think we're way beyond that.
Unless it's the ultimate trolling of the century. lol
I do so like the TOS Romulan uniforms. I wonder if there was a Zen symbol to the right side of the TOS uniforms in the listing. When I made a new Feddy on Tribble last night, quite a few options costing Zen were right there in the list.
It is quite probable that Cryptic has been toying with Romulan uniforms for some time and the individual parts were named with the intention of making Romulans and Remans available under the Fed or KDF. It could also be that the devs are/were adding in options for the Romulan BOs that are available now.
As we get closer to May 21st, I get nervous when ambiguous information like the part names pop up. I'm anxious to finally be able to play the Romulan faction and don't really need to see any sort of information that might increase my anxiety levels. But I can't help but look.
Some sweet looking uniforms there, but did anyone else notice that the uniform labelled "22nd Century" is the TOS uniform and that TOS is set in the 23rd Century?
Obviously these finds have to be taken with a grain of salt, who knows exactly what will be available, and I think one of those was probably a rep costume unlock, as well as a mercenary outfit or something. Happy to see the TOS uniform though, didn't see anything that looked quite TNG. The color palate being so thin is very probably just a WIP thing.
Not to get too off topic, but I wonder if the Suliban showing up means we might ever get a Suliban Stealth Shuttle... I'd love to see more shuttle content. I'd like to use my shuttle more, but there's just no reason to.

I think they have said one of the reasons there aren't more shuttles in the game is the current lack of a reason to fly shuttles. So hopefully if not for May eventually we get more shuttle content.
Honestly, Maybe it is my current watching of Enterprise, but I do love the Suliban and think it would be awesome if they are part of the Romulan Faction. Since I believe teh Suliban Helix is in Tau Dawu or whatever (currently as a placeholder) I think it would make sense they were with the romulans (that and in Enterprise they were trying to destablize the Klingon Empire)
Enterprise is a very flawed series in some of the ways it's written (some great episodes and some... well, not so much, and those cause a lot of the good episodes to get overlooked), but it's kind of a gold mine for interesting special effects and cool aliens. Being the last show in the line did help on that front.

how on earth did you do this? I've been trying most of the afternoon so I can have a look but nothing works. Even tried the command line at the tailor, doesnt work. Maxed out my toon slots but can't get into the char creation screen after that.

Hehe, haven't noticed actually, was too busy rejoicing the possibility of geting those TOS uniforms! Federation....Klingon....Romulan, whatever, all TOS uniforms rule! :cool:

I'd like more stuff to do with the shuttles than we have now, too. Hopefully the devs. will come up with something more to do with them in the remainder of the year.
I was looking at the new character creator on Tribble. Apparently it lets you attempt (but not actually give you the ability) to create a new character even if your character slots are maxed out. When you do it this way, the creator breaks and lets you choose things you normally can't.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that beta is beta and none of this represents what may be in the May release. Or I may even be barking up the wrong tree, but based on the uniform names, I'm positive I'm not. Also PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that I am merely speculating based on what I see. Nothing I say is evidence of anything or set in stone.
Here's an album of screenshots I took of the various uniform tops I could find.
Based on the uniform titles, it seems that the Romulan faction may be a subfaction of the Fed/KDF, or was at some point during the development cycle. I'm betting it's the latter and that they are a fully fledged unique faction separate of the other two.
This image specifically shows what colours are probably going to be available for Romulan uniforms. Seems a bit restrictive, but I was able to make some decent looking stuff with just that.
Remans appear to be getting their own uniform options, similar to the way Orions do for the KDF. It's likely they'll have access to both the Romulan and Reman uniforms, while the Romulans/Aliens may only have access to the Romulan uniforms.
I'm seeing a 22nd century uniform in there as well. I'm betting that's going to be a c-store unlock. And jesus christ the skirt on it is tiny.
I've also found a Suliban head preset. I haven't looked at my character creator on the live server in awhile, so I don't know if that's new. But if it is, one of the factions will be seeing this race. I'm betting Romulan, as a faction of three races (Romulan, Reman, Alien) seems a bit skimpy compared to even the KDF. They may be a c-store unlock.
So, now that we can see what some of the uniforms will look like (and I doubt all of these are for players, like the Senate Robe options), what are your thoughts? I like 'em, they're pretty cool.

I'm not sure, exactly. I'm trying to replicate the glitch on a second account but can't seem to do it. On my main account, I have two characters pulled over from live, and deleted a third that I used to test Season 6 with. That deleted character may have something to do with it. Process:
1. Federation Character from season 6 test period deleted
2. Federation Character from live brought over, did a few tests
3. Another Federation character brought over from live
4. My character list said I had one Klingon character slot remaining. Clicking it brought me to the broken creator, where I was unable to change my character's gender.
Happy to see the TOS uniform though, didn't see anything that looked quite TNG.
There is something that looks like it available, but I think it's for enemy Romulan NPCs you see in ground missions. It could probably be made available as a faction uniform with minimal effort.

You need to delete ALL klingon toons on Tribble. Fill all your "unrestricted" slots up, then you will still have one KDF character slot open. Do it then and it bugs the creation screen and you can view all the uniforms. Sadly no female
option so I cant look at the awesome TOS rommie uniform for them
EDIT: I just realised although you can't alter race/gender in the bugged screen it takes what you created last. So if you made a female vulcan, you can fake a remale romulan in the bugged character creation screen.

seems like there are going to be playable Romulans in KDF and FED afterall - perhaps as unlocks from the Zen store (like the playable Trill or KDF for the FED)
i really like the senate Robes and the survivor stuff, also the neutral stuff looks pretty cool.
i hope the 22th century uniform is not yet finished?
OP - could you provide us with male options too pls?
oh how wrong you were.
nope unfortunately just a completely neutered rom "faction"
I just re-watched The Enterprise Incident. The TOS male variant looks awesome in that screenshot. I'm really looking forward to a character with the female TOS uniform. I'm guessing the sash on the right shoulder is earned through rank.
The Romulan helmet asset now available gives me hope that our TMP uniform may get a Starfleet Security helmet variant in the future.

Those look really good.
Especially the tiny skirt. That was the uniform of the Romulan Commander in the Enterprise Incident, and it was that short then too. Love the sixties fashion.
Praying that Suliban is just being added to the alien gen. I have an alien BOFF that's supposed to be a Suliban, I've been waiting for this. And they've already said that there was going to be some Suliban stuff, hence why the Suliban system and world is in Tau Dewa.
I didn't even think there would be allied uniforms, they look pretty good.
Fingers crossed for the Nemesis style uniforms.
I'm wondering if these uniforms are going to be available for Romulan Boffs purchased from the Embassy before the expansion.

Really looking forward to this update. A lot of effort has clearly been put into it.
