Fleet Uniforms on Allied Romulans

varzecvarzec Member Posts: 129 Media Corps
edited July 2014 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I was curious to the reason why the fleet uniforms and the oddy/bortasqu base uniforms are not available to Romulan Allied Captains? Can they not be activated to have access once they join the fleet and have chosen an allegiance?

They are part of our fleets and should have access to those uniforms too. As a Roleplayer I think it makes alot of sense to let Romulan Allies have access to those.

Thanks.

    Because the Uniform is Starfleet or Klingon Defence Force, not the Romulan Republic.

    We should probably get Romulan variants of the fleet uniforms...

    I dont really think we should get access to those uniforms just because we are allies, but I do want a unique romulan version.

    Same reason T5 allied ships aren't available to them. It's all part of being a pretend, half-assed non-faction.

    Some people would like to RP thier romulans as members of Starfleet. If they can let Worf in a Starfleet Uniform, Romulans can wear it too.

    Well, to be fair, Worf grew up on earth with Human parents, attended Starfleet academy and was both a legal citizen of the Federation and a commissioned Starfleet officer. Romulan characters are not.

    Worf was an actual starfleet officer and starfleet klingons are playable in the game anyway, so what's your point?

    What if a person wanted to Roleplay that thier Romulan went through the academy?

    What would you rather have a Romulan Federation Character added to the Character Choice or just let them use the Oddy/Bortasqu Base Uniforms and their fleet variants?

    The latter seems to be the easier solutuion.

    No, I get why Romulans might not get to wear oddy or bort uniforms as they are the new 'standard'. And they are not a member of that faction, like it or not. What it should be is a cool unique fleet uniform. And all members can wear it.

    Nor should they be. Their ships would look weird.

    I'm pretty sure keeping with the Star Trek lore went out the window with the first lockbox ship.

    Neither. If you really must, then mock up a "romulan" alien and do it that way.

    1/Make a fed alien that look like a Romulan. Check this if you are totally lost, and feel free to adapt.
    2/Buy the odyssey uniform

    That's what I did on my 2 half rom character.

    AFAIK, Worf always flight Fed ships, with Fed crew as long as he was with the fed. He only flight KDF ship and crew when he switched side once or twice.

    As FED romulan you can fly a federationship... but you cant wear federation uniform? .. lame....

    So if youre a Romulan you have the exclusive right to wear whatever you want even in Starfleet duty... sure..makes sense...


    somehow those limitations give me the impression that they will seperate romulans someday to make it an own faction oO

    You only fly the fed ships at low levels. And you aren't a fed when you do. You are romulan captain flying a fed ship given to the republic by starfleet.


    Also because I don't think I said before this thread, I to fully support romulans having their own unique fleet uniform.

    no rom should ever be allowed to use fed or kdf service uniforms want a rom fleet service uniforms ask for one and that would have my vote

    Completely agree, and it would have been a good occasion to bring the Rom Nemesis Uniform with 9.5.

    But Romulans & Remans wearing KDF & Starfleet uniforms? Hogwash.

    the lower level ships given are given to the republic...no republic romulan is part of the Federation merely allied with them therefore it makes no sense what so ever that a romulan should be walking around in an oddy uniform unless they where like worf and grew up on earth or any other fed planet.
    I fully support a different outfit specficly for romulans though

    Make a fed Alien, use the custmoization at creation to make them look Romulan.

    Romuland aren't a full faction, and they don't make unique romulan fleets. So the functionality isn't there for the devs to waste their resources on these kinds of QoL things. There's way more important stuff on their to do list. Like crafting.
