If i am not mistaken the Romulan uniforms have no rank insignia. Will that be corrected in the future. Besause they look great and i would love to see my Chars wearing them.THese shoulder pads are not my favourites.

    Romulan rank is indicated on uniforms by the Dual Shoulder Pads.

    I know that with the shoulder Pads (which would not work in real life imagine being in a battlea fall here, a punch theer and the shoulderpads are all crumbly and look like a different rank) but we have seen the ranks in TNG and DS9:

    and they are even displayed aside your username so why not use them (especially since we have the TNG uniforms now)

    Would be nice to get some rank insignia, don't like using the shoulders on all of my characters. Would be especially nice since they're launching the TNG costume pack tomorrow!

    Maybe some rank sashes like the ones that, you know, Romulans have always used :P

    I'd like an option to remove or have some varied designs for the capes too.

    No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.

    I still think they shoult giv us the canon rank insignia that we can see on the pics i posted. THey are the same as they use now to indicate our ranks.

    BTW did the TNG uniforms have black sashes? i know that they had these metal chains but only the TOS uniform had sashes.

    And i hope we get the TNG Disruptor Rifle and Pistol as standard sidearms and not these Fat totally not romulan Plasma pistols/rifles that every villain uses.

    I know they are Mission rewards but only wide beam Pistol and split beam rifle. And we already have these unique wide beam rifles and they could make pulse pistols and stun pistols and simply change the appearance of them.

    The only time I can recall the TNG Rommies having the sashes was in the Season 1 finale "The Neutral Zone". The Romulan Commander (who later had an operation and became Gul Dukat) had the sash.

    Personally, I'm glad they added the sashes. I think it gives the uniform a little more style.

    I agree, I would like to see rank insignia, as well.

    Its canon fact, TNG era Romulan (Tal Shiar at least) uniforms had Rank Pips like Feds. So I agree they should be added in for Romulan players with the TNG pack. The shoulder capes are not meant for use with the TNG era uniforms.

    The Nanite Disruptor and Romulan Rep Plasma Pistols look like the TNG Romulus weapons. The rifles from those sets are the DS9 era sleek rifles.

    The dual shoulder pads doesn't work as a costume item visually with TNG uniform. So pips would be nice.

    OR

    Rework dual pads model to sit higher on shoulders with TNG Uniform.

    Especially since the romulans have in my opinion the best rank insignia in the ST Universe. Federation was good till TNG. Those Simple golden pips do not look so gread, Klingon Ranks always confused me (Here the STO Ranks are totally different from the canon ranks)

    I tried the shoulder pads out once and immediately went back to the tailor and got rid of them. They don't look...right with any uniform. Except the Tal Shiar one. And even here they look like they belong on a supervillain in a really bad reboot of Captain Planet.

    Speaking of capes, where's the cape for my Reman toon? He has the hood. He doesn't have the cape. How am I supposed to make my Reman TAC toon look all menacing, like Ron Perlman in ST:Nemesis, without a cape?
