Color Palette : I cant tell you how many times (especially on ROM) I try different uniform tops and bottoms only to find the color palettes are different and I cant make them match. WHY are there different palettes for the FED, KDF for the Alpha armor uniforms I want red and orange lines on the armor but cant on FED, or Blue on KDF . WHAT IS THE REASON especially taking away orange when it was there all along on a ENG
DOFFS: Why don't they rank/LVL up ? They could earn CXP just like my captain and level to a new color or gain a new skill or make them upgradeable using the new system. Instead of getting a new DOFF every rank in any given category just let us upgrade our current ones.
Consoles: Zen store ships Why are these bound to a certain ship? Some I understand that may change the way the ship looks (Multi vector/Abladive armor) would take alot of work to make skins for every ship, but the ones that dont like torp defense console or the tempest console .c'mon
Uniforms: Why cant I have access to the uniforms I have purchased with zen on my aligned ROM there are so few options for ROM toon and most are horrific, UGLY things plz make whatever faction they are aligned withs uniforms avalible to them. If they can fly their ships then why cant they wear their Uniforms?
I was going to mention dill claims being bound to Character when the lobi you use to buy them isn't. But they did change that THANK YOU very much. However that doesn't help me with the ones I have, only the ones I have yet to buy .Still Thanx anyway
P.S. If nothing else PLEASE just make the swimwear color palette the default palette PLEASE!
No, it's because the OP needs to think a little harder.
Roms can't wear Fed uniforms because they aren't Feds!
DOFFS: Why don't they rank/LVL up ? They could earn CXP just like my captain and level to a new color or gain a new skill or make them upgradeable using the new system. Instead of getting a new DOFF every rank in any given category just let us upgrade our current ones.
That's like me walking up to Wizards of the Coasts, the people who make Pok
Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
What's my position?
That people should know what they're screaming about!

That's not the only quirk... The frustrating one for me are the randomly linked, yet seeminly unrelated, item options that must be the same colour...
I had hoped the uniform system will be getting a revamp at some stage with recent updates etc, but time will tell...

Honestly, this boils down complexity... It would require Cryptic virtually create a copy of every Doff in every quality, meaning you would have as many as 5 (if we include Ultra Violet) versions of the same Doff...
It would be overly complex... Just 'trade them in' instead via the Recruitment Officer or the various Officer exchange assignments in Beta Ursae...

We may yet see this change with Delta Rising, but it was my understanding all but the T5 CStore consoles (and those which are specific to certain ships) were useable on all vessels, or at least all vessels of the same category - eg the Advanced Cruiser Transwarp Console can only be used on cruisers...

Because your Romulan is only allied with the Federation, they are not a part of it... I do agree that I would however like to see some of the more generic uniforms (Seven of Nine's and Counselor Troi's perhaps) be opened up to Fed aligned Romulans...

We might yet see Cryptic make a pass on existing claims, since they did convert all existing Lobi to BoA...
In regards to uniform use I dont care too much for the "because they are only allies" reason, even if it is the official dev answer. Its just to convenient
I mean...whats the reason Romulans didnt get a dedicated Sci ship on launch? was there a shortage of materials on Old Romulus? did the RSE hog all the good Sci ships? did Tovan lock the keys to all the Sci ships in his house? What about Romulan boff uniforms? i can buy a Romulan boff off of the exchange but there is a chance that it will belong to the opposing faction. And i wont know that until i go to the tailor and find out that they have the other factions uniform. Whats up with that? I hear KDF players complaining about their uniform situation, and the latest giveaway kinda made me wonder about their claims. So what *is* the deal with KDF and their uniform selection?
I dont really care if Romulans and Fed (or KDF) are just allies, just friends, just drinking buddies or just bros. I just want to be able to wear my host factions uniforms. AND as a bonus i'll even let the Fed/KDF players wear the Romulan outfits. No no no...really it's cool, you can wear the gunslinger outfit, the Tal Shiar outfit, the nasty scarf, the weird angle skirt, the RR unis or the Fed/KDF Rom unis
this game is not about being an individual its about being in a military style group that has a certain dress code, really we are lucky we have as much freedom of choice with outfits ect as we do.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
Yes I do have to agree with the OP about the Color Palette isn't balance. Not dealing with the same color shades always. As for the rest of the comments to give access to all the uniform an etc. I doubt very much that would ever happen.
this game is not about being an individual its about being in a military style group that has a certain dress code, really we are lucky we have as much freedom of choice with outfits ect as we do.
a military style group where males can wear ponytails, beards and even epic beards? where the ladies can wear a sports bra and miniskirt? where Romulans have the option to wear RR unis, host faction-RR combo unis OR casual housewear?
I get that Starfleet, KDF and RR are military style organizations but with the above mentioned things they had to make a bunch of compromises. I'm even ok with not getting the Fed or KDF unis on my Rom. But i would like more options as a Rom, and more unis that looks a lot more like the host factions unis. I'd actually prefer the host faction unis but something like a Worf sash worn with our uniforms since we are just allies.
Thats just our player though...that still doesnt explain why as a Rom Fed i can dress up my Rom boffs as KDF. When LoR first came out Romulan Security Team and the Nimbus ability where you beam down security to pacify the crowds were dressed in casual/formal wear. Someone back then said that they looked like a bunch of Dennys waiters/waitresses. Since then they have changed them to look like standard RR officers. Well what about the boffs?
It would be better to separate some of those issues out.
Uniforms and color palettes are best discussed in the "Art" feedback forum.
DOFF's in the Duty Officer forum.
Consoles in the Builds, Powers, and Game Mechanics forum.
Just saying. If the thread can't have focused discussion, I can't see it going anywhere.

The only reasonable request is the color palette one.
The doff would be too complex.
The uniform one doesn't even make sense (your part of the romulan republic...not star fleet. WHy would you get star fleet uniforms?!?).
The consoles, if your talking about the ones on the T5 refits are suppose to be a set item with the lower tier ship of that kind and as such will not be changed to have it on any ship. They are a set for that ship for one thing, and allowing it to go on other ships will let you have multiple consoles which could cause balance issues as well.
As far as the DOFFS go I realize it is a bit complex and just an idea.
Consoles again a bit annoying that I paid for them and wish I could use them on other ships ,like the wide angle torp . But still an "I WISH" thing. The set thing meh I can use the antimatter spred and its in a set.
Uniforms I was mostly refering to the ZEN ones that I paid for being avalible to roms especially Mirror ones and unaligned clothing options that aren't uniforms , but are only usable on feds currently
Kit items as well WHY aren't all the colors options ,or even all the pieces avalible? Its a small thing.
In all the only on I can truely say FIX it please is the color palette . The rest are my Humble opinion and WISH they would make all options avalible .
I agree with the OP that the colour palette is messed up. Even within factions it's messed up.
Today I was trying to match the top and lower sections of some gamma type suits but using the same colours yields totally different results!
There's little consistency and some of the uniforms are really limited in the colours you can use.
Why not just open up all the colours on all uniforms and just be done with it, allow everyone to have maximum versatility. That's one of the things that is good about this MMO compared to others, but it could still be improved.
This is unacceptable, WoTC makes Magic: The Gathering. Not Pok

Use the dice roll to fix that, it unlinks everything in that set.
While we are in the subject of color palettes.. The ship color palettes are still horrendous.. How about the primary red, blue, green, yellow, and so on type colors.

A little birdie said to me the other day that if you have multiples of those and move 1 or more out of the stack, it just might change to BtA, and then if you move it back to the stack, it might just change the whole stack that way. Just remember to say the magic words and do a little dance.

And oddly, access to KDF kit and armor parts but not Fed ones even though my Rommie is Fed-Aligned.
