We've had teeny bikinis for the ladies for a long time. When are we gonna get Speedos for the guys?
While this is being posted as lighthearted and fun, it would be equally lighthearted and fun if it were so.
Thoughts?

Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.

Guys used to wear half-shirts back in the 70s and 80s. Today, women wear cropped tops and guys don't.

But I can tell you that in Champions Online, guys can wear their underwear on the outside... it's a superhero thing.
Back in the days when I still played the Marvel PnP RPG, that would be our phrase to get together and game... "time to wear our underwear on the outside!"
Ahh, the good old days...

It's the same for me, a gal, who doesn't really enjoy seeing a sea of female skin, though I do put some of my females in bikinis.
I just want females to have the privilege of dressing their male toons like male players dress their female toons.
Only if its for gorns only lol
Gorns in speedos xD
gorn in bananna hammocks... what could possibly go wrong

Can't wait to see the 'package' slider at the tailor...
Have you seen the average American lately? God Bless clothing!
Naked to genocide in 2 sentences... you got a black-belt in outrageology?
On second thought, maybe that is a good thing.
We all know Risa has nude beaches.
Let's get rid of these silly clothes that divide us. And come together. *groan*
Maybe if they saw each other naked regularly it would help motivate some weight loss. I mean, putting pictures of decayed lungs on cigarette packs seems to be working.
I disagree, we're slippin as a society *smh
I would be fine with that. I have a character who wouldn't mind being bare, not to mention Betazoids are canonically approved nudists anyway.
But full monty or not, I'd really like options for body hair for males and females. I always laugh seeing those hairless plastic doll bodies - just because it is some misguided beauty ideal in our present time to try hard and look like prepubescent children, in the future and especially with alien races I doubt everyone would shave and wax for a trip to Risa.

Never gonna buy any clothes I can't use freely.
I recently discovered that a few of the female tops have become unlocked as Off Duty wear. Mini-T, Criss-cross, Sling bikini, Retro, if I recall right. Off-Duty also includes sandals and bare feet. Combined with the Mirror Terran shorts, it's not that different from the full beachwear, without any tailor exploits.
...it's a bit odd, trying to follow the changes that get made re:outfit categories & uses. (Parts of the Herald Thrall outfit migrated to the general "tight" uniform categories as well.)
It's just too bad the mirror Terran shorts aren't allowed for me, either. And the beachcomber shorts have a crappy palette.
You can say that again. Never seems to make it to patch notes or anything. I wish they'd just unlock everything like in CO.
The swim wear tops are part of off-duty since 2015 or so

The reality is: Star trek has ALWAYS had speedo clad guys. See: TNG episode: "Captains Holiday", Picard wears a speedo ON RISA- and a Risean man-servant in the background can be seen in a speedo too.
In DS9 see Dax & Kira in the Holosuite, the two trill men Jadzia is walking with are in speedos with the sides cut out showing A LOT Of skin! (and even a straight guy can appreciate these boys were good looking!)
In Voyager Torres in Neelix's holodeck resort walks by with a hologram of a windsurfer and he's in a speedo!!!
Various early season episodes of voyager featured these skimpy male speedo's with the sides cut out to show lots of hip.
Star trek was a family show and back in the 80's & 90's it was even more difficult to put riskay things on television- yet men in speedos was never something shy'd away from.
I've noticed in this game since the beginning that females are given bust size modifyers, skimpy clothing etc.
Let the men look more organic and less like ken dolls. I don't necessarily thing we need to see men in tank tops- HOWEVER:
Why can't certain clothes that are form fitting show that a character is clearly male? And why can't we have those early TNG skant's (male skirt) for guys? And why don't we have the traditional star trek speedo's we have seen in almost EVERY major series?
In my opinion Cryptic should have considered making the males more equal to females in these regards.
They should have implemented equal swim and casual wear and include speedos/bikini's for men with out making it a big issue. Just slip it in there under the radar and don't make it an issue!
Unfortunately sexism is real, although in Star Trek it's supposed to have been overcome...
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Having that said the life expectancy of this thread is short and will probably close soon.
I actually made a decent Lara Croft cosplay that way. Used to be able to use the Enterprise boots too which were perfect, but now they aren't available for some reason in off duty.
Nothing like fighting at the front lines as a tourist.
Now only if they could hook the screen capture function with a camera - weaponlike item with a camera zoom functionality that is similar to sniper zoom.
