Plea for an Updated tWoK Uniform

Way back in the day, I got my Monster Maroon (Wrath of Khan-era) uniform from the codes in the Star Trek DVD's. I have learned that you also put them in the C-Store for purchase. I have one big problem with them: there is only 1 rank option. In the movies, we saw almost every rank represented on these jackets, but in-game we can only use the captain pin with no rank selection.

As someone who does light RP, this presents a problem for all my admiral characters who want to wear them. This is one of my favorite uniforms from the series, and I would really like to see it updated (so much so that I would even shill out the $5 to buy and updated version in the C-Store in addition to my current free unlock just to get the ability to change ranks). Here are some of my ideas:

1. Add the ability to change ranks. This would probably just entail adding some new pin shapes to the tailor uniform selections.
2. Add the ability for RA LH and above to add the gold pipings that were seen around the edges of the uniform in the movies.
3. Add the extra band on the cuff above the division-color band for RA LH and above like in the movies.
4. Add the ability for VA's to put service pin configurations on their uniform like how Cartwright and the C-in-C had in STVI.

    I second this..this is the main reason that I have not purchased this uniform as much as I like it.

    Additions and further customization on the Monster Maroon jackets would actually be great. Though, to the point of having service pin configurations... were they not virtually identical to the "ribbon racks" that modern military servicemembers wear on their uniforms?

    In that case, since the graphics exist, allow various Accolades to be worn as ribbons on such a rack?

    You are actually willing to pay once more for content that is in the game for years and has never worked properly to be fixed finally? Seriously?

    Well, in the interest of actually generating constructive criticism...

    ... I'd like to see an update of the existing item. Though, if they chose to release it as a paid release, that's up to them.

    That said, be constructive, or at least try to be.

    Oh obviously I'd much rather they just update the existing one and I get all the new shinies for free. That statement was basically there so the marketing department doesn't just go "wait update things we won't make money on? Trash." Also I totally agree that they should let us wear our accolades as service ribbons.
