Since today's 8.5 patch (in the rare moments when the game isn't down), all my TOS themed female boffs have a separate texture colour (complete with severe seam) between the neck and body as shown is the screenshot below:

I have no idea what changed, graphically, in the patch today because that information is not shared with us hoi polloi.
To add hideous insult to a pretty significant injury (a seemingly arbitrary graphics alteration), note that the outfit I bought with real money now costs 500 Zen again, so I cannot apply it at all. This Zen issue only applies to the female loose TOS top, not the regular uniform top. The regular uniform covers up the head to body texture disparity. Quite simply, it seems as if the body just doesn't respect skin colour anymore. I can't get back into the game now to take another screenshot, but female boffs with dark skin only have that colour on their heads and hands, the rest of the body appearing as above, under that visible seam.
[Yes, I've restarted, clicked and re-clicked around, reloaded, etc, etc. It's not me, nor is there any workaround.]
Also note that I have no TOS uniform preset in the list, but upon loading my old outfit, it shows such a preview, however, it is labeled Wrath of Khan. So, I don't know what's going on here. Are these separate problems (the graphical error & the Zen), or are they somehow related? I'd report this in-game, but the server is down at the moment.
What was it Nietzsche said about being able to stand any suffering as long as we know why? Tell me why things that have nothing to do with the patch at hand (or at least what we're told about it) get messed up during major releases?
I want the outfit I paid for back, and I want to know what changed graphically, so that I can attempt to figure out how to fix it on my end, if possible.
Most importantly, I'd like to know if anyone else noticed that they were similarly affected before the servers went down again.
Please, and thank you.

Also the Vigilant and Gallant refit versions do not seem to have the right nacelle or pylon refitted. Only the left one haha. Its quite hilarious with the Vigilant version of the refit as its very different in size to its stock version.
