Of the many things added in the LoR update, I was extremely happy to see new hairstyle options added for Romulans. And while I understand the ones labeled Romulan would be kept for Romulans or alien gen, many of the new great hairstyles, like the Gothic, are restricted. Please Cryptic, open up these hairstyles to the older races. I mention Gothic because it is exactly the kind of hair I would want to have on my Fed character, and it seems silly that she cannot wear it.

It would be nice to be able to use some of these for my other toons, particularly my Federation Vulcan. She's needed a haircut for a long time now, unfortunately she has very limited choices.
Would also like to see the horseshoe and pattern baldness added for all species.
It's good for high forehead species. Romulans have pattern baldness. And so do Federation captains.
I totally get that it isn't a glam style and that there's probably research showing that people want pretty avatars. But it's incredibly Trek... and we have bridge crews to customize too.
It's seriously just the current shaved head, darkened up, and with a mask over the top of the skull. I don't often say, "A dev could do that in five minutes." But in this case, a dev could do the art for it in five minutes. The most substantial work is hooking it up. But it really would require no testing.
the UI overhaul was not needed as much as fixing actual options and making stuff available to be used by every species.
PS: the new hair makes the old hair look old.
i want "Hair Tech 2.0" now more than ever. (i remember this being teased in the engineering reports that stopped when F2P started).

Tried that, while the gfx and sound fx are top notch, the plot seriously blows.

On par with Caitians? We hardly have anything. And what we were given was not what the community asked for.
Yeah, and the grind...
Not to mention the permadeath! Really! :P
I was just thinking that too. What I remember was the 'Hair Tech 2.0' was supposed to offer the long hair/manes that we wanted on our Caitians, and as far as I know, it's never surfaced yet. They added a couple quick-and-dirty hairstyles (IMO) but if that was the new tech . . . well . . . count me underwhelmed.
Yeah, me too. I was really looking forward to new hairstyles, shame they're Rommie only.
* Open up the color wheel to all colors. That is, have some parity and consitancybetween the Off Duty and uniform palettes.
* Open up the Off duty uniforms to all factions. If I want a Gorn in a tuxedo, so be it! we already have a circus of cross faction ships anyways...
* The Privateer uniform should be COMPLETELY available to all factions. There's no reason the KDF can't use it, especially in light of the fact many of their NPCS are wearing it!
* open up the sliders a bit for additional scaling: If I want to be tubby or have freakishly large arms, why the heck not? Make it default to the way it is now, but give me an option to take the governors off the sliders!
Bald, Topnot. Dradlocks, dreadlonks braided, dreadlonks tucked behind ear.
5 hair styles, and exactly the same for male or female.
funny, I think about it.. on Klingon personel seen during the run of DS-9 I don't actually recall any Klingon that actually had dreadlocks.. pony tails, yep, multiple money tails, check, Braids and plaits.. lots of those.. Frizzy hair! Lots and lots of frizzy. I even recall a stout Klingon systems engineer with some serious TEXAS style blond frilly locks, cascading down over his shoulders... He even primped! Obviously Klingons ARE style concious..And obviously concerned with esthetics..
Now could we PLEASE get rid of the "foggy View" Klingons bridges...while ya'll are at it.\?
I've been agitating for some Klingon hairstyles that actually makes sense ever since I went redside. I mean, seriously, Cryptic, where did this dread concept come from? There isn't one single Klingon in one single Trek episode that has them, and yet they make up 90% of our hairstyle choices. And the other 10% (topknot, bald, and ruffled/messy) look just as out of place on Klingons.
Please, devs, I'm begging you. Give us less of this and more of this.
Honestly I would love a whole update dedicated to customization. Somehting that would finally bring the long awaited manes.
Romulans haven't even been out a month yet and the same Feds that want to take everything from the KDF want to do the same to Romulans now.
I want my Romulan to have unique hairstyles others don't have. It helps set them apart from Vulcans and Aliens trying to pose as Romulans. You want Romulan stuff make a Romulan.
He isn't asking for Singularity-Abilities, Romulan Ships or whatever...
What he is asking for is more natural looking hair. It may shock you, but Hair isn't a Romulan only thingy...
@OP:
/signed
Most of the 'old' hair (regardles of which species) looks like a helmet with hair painted on it
With LoR you brought lots of fantastic new graphics in the game... Now let us use them for our customisation...that would be awsome
It may shock you but I never mentioned ships or abilities.
There are at least 6 or 7 hairstyles that are Romulan only and they should stay that way so they don't look just like Feds. Factions are supposed to look different. KDF also gets unique hair, so should Romulans.
No problem with the Romulan hairstyles (the 'triangle on the forehead' ones, for purpose) staying Romulan Only.
But there also some 'common' hairstyles (the one with the long hair is one of them)... why not make those availiable for Feds ?
My Romulan female is going around with one of those styles. Myself and I am sure others don't want to see everyone with it. So if it is left to Romulans now that is one more incentive to give Romulans a try instead of wanting everything on your Fed.
Feds still have the same or more hairstyles as several of them are not available to Romulans and that should also stay that way. No point in having different factions if we all look the same.
