Idea on Risian Swimwear off Risa

I was thinking about this. On one hand, I get the desire for people to wear appropriate attire in appropriate places. On the other hand, I also think being able to carry ways of showing our travels elsewhere is crucial.
I was thinking about Risa today when a thought occured to me on how to balance these goals. I was thinking specifically of Vash from TNG and then it hit me that it's possible for what happens on a Risian vacation to follow a captain back to their ship. We got EXACTLY THAT with the episode Q-Pid.
So here's my idea:
Inspired by Vash, introduce a Risian Companion Bridge Officer.
The Risian Companion BO has alien customization options and can wear off-duty uniforms (hint: in doing this, it would be a good time to fix up KDF Marauding BOs) or swimwear on any map.
The Risian Companion comes with baked in traits that are more or less species specific:
Creative. Ground Trait. Improves the damage and healing of your Bridge Officer powers.
Peak Health. Ground Trait. Improves maximum health and toxic resistance.
Seductive. (Normally Orion only.) Ground Trait. Makes you more resistant to the effects of confuse and placate while reducing your threat generation in combat.
Life of the Party.
Increases team exploit damage on Ground
-25 Perception to both team and enemies within 30 meters
+10% bonus to healing abilities used on teammates within 30 meters
Map-wide area of effect: allows you to wear Risian swimwear when present on an away team.
Because it's tied to a BOff, nobody will be running around stations or public queue events in swimwear. However, swimwear does become an option on missions or in adventure zones, PROVIDED your Risian Companion is present.
This in a sense mirrors how the crew saw a different side of Picard when Vash was present.

Well, that's never going to happen.
Also just a general point, but given all the peace and love Risans seem so in to, I can't really picture them as an effective BOFF in a combat area. Seems a little out of character for them.
It seems the best answer to the off-duty clothes question is iff Cryptic can find some way to force zone-specific costumes. Swimwear can only be worn on Risa and so on - then once they have that level of control a lot of the barriers between normal off-duty clothes and uniforms can be removed.
Now, if you want your captain to place his/her shoes in the furniture, that's a different story...
True, if you ignore how stupid it would be.
So what about winter coats?
I think it is ridiculous to limit the swimwear to one map. If you are asking people to grind for it then it's kind of a d*ck move to restrict it to an area that there is no reason to go to ten and a half months of the year.
If it's restricted to risa, then it should be given out free the minute you beam down.

well guess what, i'm not really a starfleet officer. i'm actually a mercenary, of sorts. or do you think everyone on ESD has to be starfleet? that's the real problem, not enough variety in what we're allowed to be. well stuff it, i'm not wearing a uniform all day. that doesnt mean starfleet doesnt recognize my 600 years of combat experience.
Just leave people to play the game their own way.

a personal sex slave. no thanks.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
I would love to see something like that. Maybe Gorns could get their TOS look back while time hopping too. Klingons would need to hide their ridges while time traveling. Orions would need to the "Dizty slave girl* role. SO MANY RIPPED FED SHIRTS! The time traveling missions would use a revamp.
Oh boy....not another one of this threads.
Are you trying to be a competition to the T5 Connie and Abramsverse Enterprise threads?
That's all well and good, but sadly I can't hid stupid characters. If there was a toggle I could press that changed it so that everyone else wore a standard uniform on my PC only you'd never hear me complain again.
good thing for those idiots and people that are crying this is a star trek game u must wear uniforms which i'm sorry to say never happened in every show all the swimwear for females surpriseingly are not string but normal looking swimwear. as for the risain boff YES YES YES i have always wanted one whose to say some of them never joined starfleet huh? =( give me my risa boff!!!

Man, I didn't think it was possible to post something even less intelligent than the OP, given the nature of this thread, but you sure showed me there. Good job, buddy.
I find this to be very hilarious. You can already dress up your Captains and Boffs to be as sexy as you want. Don't know where the slave thing comes from though. :P
Surely Japan has invented some form of game for you to enact out these...fantasies, considering I highly doubt you would improve yourself both physically and socially to gain any form of real world relationships beyond making the occassional store cashier have nightmares.
As to Mr. 600 year "combat" veteran, I would like to hear of your 600 years of struggling with lead poisoning and it's effects on your daily life.
Cos I know he seems to act like this is a single player game at times and his attitude seems to be one of bemusement when someone doesn't automatically agree with him, but if I can't have a male boff in a hot pink or lime green mankini, why should he get what he wants?
Still waiting on the skirts for men option. Also in an episode of TNG. Just saying.
Down with puritanism.
dressing your own boffs and captains is fine because for the feds and romulans you cant get on the level of orion females, besides your subconscious mind will pick your choice for you based on your personality, moral choices and such. so i fail to see where your point is there. leve the risian beach kit on risa.

Amusingly enough, that's exactly what the other group is doing as well. Trying to force their aestheitc and pseudo-ethical perspectives on everyone else. Food for thought.

Not really, if the swimwear was made available on all maps, no one would be forcing you to wear it. And if you are referring to seeing people wear it, welcome to life. Sometimes people dress trashy or inappropriately. Unless they are walking around with their privets hanging out you have no business telling them what they shouldn't wear.
