Please update the Tal Shiar Uniform

I was so happy when I saw the mission that gave the Tal Shiar Uniform as a reward. To be honest, the Tal Shiar have much better uniforms than the ones the Romulan Republic has. And they are certainly better than the Federation/Romulan uniform (I'm starting to envy the Klingons).
However, the Tal Shiar Uniform only included the pieces that you see the Uhlans wearing. I expected the uniform to update when you rank up, but it doesn't. In addition, it appears that the chest piece is exclusive to males, and the belt is exclusive to females, when you can clearly see Tal Shiar agents in the game wearing both at once. This might be a bug, however. The uniform is also missing the leg rings you see on almost all Tal Shiar agents, the ones that are the same texture and design as the belt and chest gear.
Ultimately, I would like the uniform to update as you rank up. For instance, I just crossed into the Centurion rank, so I should have unlocked the gauntlets that you see the Tal Shiar Centurions wearing. As you go on, you should unlock the long boots that you see on higher ranked Romulans, shoulder pads and capes like Hakeev's, and the sash you see some Romulan Captains wearing.
The final product, the uniform you should have at level 50, should look somewhat like Hakeev's or Sela's uniform, that of a Romulan Admiral.

Go to the tailor and choose the appropriate rank under dual shoulderpads. You'll get the shoulderpads (and cape, once you hit Commander and up).
He's not talking about THOSE shoulderpads and capes. He means what Hakeev, Sela, and other high-ranking Romulans are wearing 24/7. (Despite Edna's advice... :rolleyes:)
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
Especially want the "Raptor Chestpiece" that the males where, available on my female, and the female belt available on my males.
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
buuuut then again, the creators of sto aren't exactly picky *cough mirror uniforms and temporal ships*
Note that my Legacy Pack Tac Borg Reman also has full access to Romulan (and Reman) clothes.
Now my Amazon Engineer Lib Borg, who's with the same Captain, can only wear Fed Clothes (and that's really annoying).

NO CAPES!
I refuse to use those things. I mean, what if it snags on a singularity core?
The end result is that the Lobi Romulan has about a quarter or so of the clothing options that it would have if a Romulan aquired her.
Didn't know about the Zen store borg's inability to wear republic clothing though. I guess you can't win either way, huh? No matter what, you can't have both the zen and lobi borg in the same uniform.
I live in an alternate universe, where j.j. abrams and cryptic never existed,
where R.S.E. is what it always should be.
I don't care as much about uniforms as other parts of the game, of course, but if we're going to be playing a badass Captain, we should be able to make a uniform that is equally badass.
I've noticed a few more things after trying to get a good uniform/color combination with the Republic, Federation, and Tal Shiar uniforms. For starters, most of the uniform pieces have different color choices. The Republic uniforms have colors that you'd see on a Romulan (red, purple, blue, green, black, etc.), but they are different than other pieces, like the Fed and Tal Shiar, so it is difficult to match them up without parts of your uniform sticking out.
Also, there seems to be an issue with lighting on a few pieces. The strongest one would have to be the Federation tight pants (can we get some non-tight lower uniforms, please?) with the silver armor parts. They are way too shiny compared to the upper uniforms, and look horrid when used with any other jacket. I know the metal armor bits are supposed to be shiny, but the rest of the material shouldn't be.
Another faulty piece is the Federation pair of gloves. Are they supposed to be chain mail or something? They look like they match the pattern of the shiny federation tight pants, at least the armor part, but they don't seem to match the upper uniform either.
There also needs to be either a special Rep uniform or Romulans need to be allowed to wear the MACO or Omega sets.
Also the wrist sets for the Romulan KDF uniform suck. Why is it that the KDF specifically uses the wrist for its transporters yet the Feds are the ones with the wrist technology looking set?
The TOS set when put on female BOs have a different color pallet for the sash above the belt from what it offers for below the belt making matching the color on the entire sash a royal PITA.
God so many problems with this all around from terran pins and chest gear getting stuck in mah TRIBBLE to shirts just fitting wrong.

I honestly think Romulus and Remus were destroyed by a Scimitar captain who tripped on his cape and set off a Thalaron Burst that hit both planets. Then all the Singularity Drives of the dead ship did that implode/explode thing and shattered the planets.
While I personally wouldn't wear a cape for several reasons, I don't see any reason to deny their use to other players who would find them attractive. I really just want to be able to use the chest piece AND the belt on all of my characters (even though they wear Republic uniforms, the Tal Shiar chest piece and belt can look good in the right colors).
even the rest of the Tal Shiar is no more outlaw in the Republic. (see the "candy camera" mission on the New Romulus)

For the best solution see sig below :P
But seriously, +1 to OP. Let's face it, however much we like and appreciate LoR, Rom fans were always going to go for the Tal Shiar uniforms and it's simply not knowing your market to give such limited options there.
More cape and pad options would certainly be nice for the RR shoulder pads. No cape, full cape, etc.
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
Romulan NPCs have tons of really cool costumes in Foundry I do hope these will be available in the future. Hakeev and Sela's gauntlets/boots/shoulder pads would be awesome aswell.
The Mirror Universe Romulans does not exist. They was killed (genocide) off by the Terran Empire.
They do but don't do anything. Sisko to cover his going ho to primeverse says he is going to get Romulan help for the Terrans and nobody bats an eye which wouldn't happen if they had been gone for 200 years.
