Romulan Uniform Discrepancy?

in Romulan Discussion
So I main a Fed-aligned Romulan Engineer. I've noticed something with my Bridge Officers that I'm finding quite annoying. Because I wanted desirable traits, I got all of my current set of Bridge Officers from the Exchange. When trying to make everyone's uniforms match, I've noticed that not all of my officers has access to the Rom/Fed uniform...like it doesn't even show up as an option for them to choose. In fact, a few of them even have the Rom/KDF uniform as an option, and I don't understand why. Is there a way to tell in the Exchange if the Romulan is a Fed or KDF leaning officer BEFORE I buy? It's really annoying.

    What's far more annoying is that we're saddled with this situation, the root of your issue, in which "RRF" is no indication of identity, but instead means either RRF with a hidden "(KDF-allied)" tag or RRF with a hidden "(Fed-allied)" tag (and no, Fed and KDF are not "alignments," because this isn't D&D, but are instead alliances for us), such that we cannot team with or fleet-invite other RRF personnel if they happen to be allied with the power we did not ally with, cannot set RRF fleet uniforms apart from the beginning civilian farmer formalwear (because everything else is an unlock, and some of it is alliance-bound; even REPUBLIC uniforms are unlocks and therefore cannot be set as fleet uniforms), cannot have fleet holdings that are entirely free of UFP/Starfleet or Klingon Empire motifs, do not have a Security Officer in our own homeworld social zone, do not have an Academy homeworld social zone at all, have no RRF-specific bar/club (apart from the exceptional-looking one on our warbirds, which, however, is basically non-functional, seeing as the bartender and chef sell/buy nothing and trophies cannot be displayed), and the list goes on.

    be glad they fixed things some man... at one point you bought a rom boff blindly and if it was affiliated with the wrong faction you couldn't even commission them.... Which makes me wonder if anyone ever spent millions on those SRO boffs I sell and got TRIBBLE like that....
    well... if yer willing to spend millions of ec on a boff, ya get what ya deserve...

    do not have a Security Officer in our own homeworld social zone, do not have an Academy homeworld social zone at all

    this is additionally a downside for getting romulan doffs. i rarely go to romulus now and hence do not add romulan doffs from the personal vendor.

    Despising your customers. Bad business practice. Like making custom rifles and sneering at the barbarians who buy them. :p

    Its OK, the personnel vendor often gives out Fed or KDF doffs anyway. :disappointed:

    Depends on what they get out of it.

    These constant reminders of how half-baked this "faction" really turned out to be, tend to interfere with the jubilant expression of existence, otherwise propelling us to great heights, no doubt. Filling a Romulan ship with Romulans, is a daunting task!

    Actually, you can't have anything but them on your bridge. Even if the only Romulan you have is Tovan Khev, none of your other boffs will appear on the bridge. :p

    I'm starting to think that this "Tovan Khev", might be a village cop turned poltical officer.

    Tal'Shiar/Reman Resistance/Romulan Nemesis uniform, pls.

    Somehow never considered the village idiot part of my crew, not that it comes with any choice attached. If we consider not buying them from the exchange, getting Romulan bridge crew from the DOFF missions, tend to be slower than melting down an entire glacier, even at maximum planetary industrial output.

    In the name of equilibrium, they fixed some TOS costume related bugs recently, so to say nothing is ever done, is an exaggeration. But we have to consider these are paid-for elements, as opposed to losing a ton of EC over buying the cat-in-the-bag from the exchange. That is just invested time that never comes back, and of lesser value no doubt! :D

    Boff recruitment missions are back in circulation, so at least that's making things easier. It's still a pain in the behind that boffs from the exchange come with an alliance pre-set. I tend to just use the Republic and non-alliance uniform options as a result.

    I actually got a BOFF opportunity assignment near the Dyson Sphere gateway. That's a first since the space change.

    Not always the case. My Orion "Liaison" BOFF (awarded by my ally) appeared instead of Tovan Khev on the bridge one day. Shortly thereafter, a uniformed FED officer (my main, on whose ship this occurred, is KDF-allied) appeared in that same seat.

    Granted, this was over a year ago when it happened, so the bug has doubtless been patched by now. :s
