Color Palette

I am trying to wrap my head around what is happening with our color choices.
I had both a KDF and Fed aligned before the wipe. This time I just did KDF. Previously we had the same palette for all items start to finish. Now it seems that once you align you get a different, limited palette for SOME items. Some items have one palette when you start then change to the limited.
Here are the two palettes I can pick from: http://postimg.org/image/v608quyxd/
Some items use the top one and some the bottom.
I am looking for a Romulan Fed aligned to see if they have the same palette or a different one being Fed.
I dont think we should be penalized because we picked Klingons. Or Feds. We should have the same "ROMULAN" palette available regardless of alignment.

AAAAAANNND that palette should be the same for each and every costume piece.. instead of a mix.. and don't even mention the idiocy of locking colors across random, inconsistent pieces.. ugh. Less than a week to launch and they STILL haven't fixed that one.
if not, then it's a huge failure.
that the big one for me is the locked palettes on 2 pieces that share nothing in common like the shoulder pads and under shirt
WHY?????
Thats your starting palette. You use that palette until you pick alignment. Then after you align many peices cant use that palette anymore. even tho at say level 8 you could have the same jacket in green. Its only some pieces.
So its the same two palettes for the feds? So am I restricted because im KDF and KDF has a limited palette - even though I have no KDF clothing options. Or both fraction use the two?
I dont mind there being a "Romulan" specific palette and I am down with the one we start with. But it shouldnt change arbitrarily

so thats the palette for ALL your items. and not just some?
If so thats just so not right. Romulans should not be restricted on Romulan items because they picked KDF.
After you align you get the limited palette and can now just use the dark blue or dark red and the neutrals.
so it's a KDF aligned big it seems the KDF palette is overriding the romulan palette
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
And something that thus far (as far as have read) hasn't even been addressed by a dev. No acknowledgement, no "we're working on it" .. nada
The game launches in 3 days. I'm seriously 'concerned' that it's going to go live with this. I really like the Rom Uniforms.. more so than any other uniforms so far (including the C-Store ones I've already purchased... *ahem* all of them...) But I'm seriously limited because even as far as the Rom Repub standard uniforms, the female uniforms keep getting random pieces locked.. and thus I cannot even match them with the males.
I keep hoping that it will be in a patch, but I'm definitely not holding my breath.

I encountered the problem while putting my male captain and boffs into RR uniforms. Satra's better off with her medical uniform, and Veril... I throw her out of my boff layout and away team as soon as I can these days.

I swear, the underlying code for the tailor stuff must be the oddest ever.

and yellows and greens and several shades of reds and blues.
The thing is that some pieces use one palette at one point and then the other later on.
So say I had my crew in civilian gear and wanted a palette of green and yellows - I swear there is a promo pic of this in some dev post. everything works fine until after I align then that is no longer available for the same items. if you edit then you get stuck with the new limited palette.
And you cant mix pieces for a consistant look. All your crew basically have to be in certain tops/pants to match all the colors.
As KDF I found that more or less you had to use Black and go with a bondage leather look or make your crew look like some 80s funk band in red or dark blue.
My other issue is that when you are presented with your "allied" choice you are give ZERO information on what that really involves. So if I knew I would have one color palette for one and not the other then some people might pick Fed over KDF for that very reason. But since you start with a Romulan palette there is no reason for the player to think they will suddenly have a choice of grey, dark red or dark blue, period.
For me, my intention was to do an "updated" version of the TOS rank colors. But thats impossible because those colors suddenly dont exist for you.
If you want to try to improve my wardrobe feel free! lol
But seems to me your gripe is not only with colours, but the fact that the uniforms poorly match/merge together? Is that correct?
