A while ago I posted a thread about uniform categories:
https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1226002/uniform-categories
Today I'm posting this over a year later asking about that and also expressing frustration over how hard it is to put together decent outfits. There are a lot of unique pieces that I'd like to mix and match and build different outfits. So much so that I'd hit up the online store for more outfit slots if it weren't for the fact that some of choices were limited by categories.
I really wish categories didn't exist for outfit options. Those restrictions are really killing my ability to put together different outfits for my characters. More so its very discouraging trying to work around those restrictions sometimes as with the scarf problem I had back in 2016 which I'm guessing today is still an issue since nothing has really changed with categories? I know I've had other problems with different shirts, pants, etc being in different categories all together and unreachable as a something to put in one outfit.
I really wish they'd drop all the category restrictions and put everything in one basket like Champions. It would make messing around with outfits more enjoyable and I'd put more time in to the game playing around with different things while actually putting more effort in to collecting more outfits.

PLEASE!! Cryptic can you just get rid of the silly tailor restrictions like off duty stuff and boffs not able to wear certain things.
Just do the following:
And yes, I also would like the ability to mix and match components as I see fit, as well as a standardized colour pallete. If I had a dil rock for all the times I wanted specific shades of a colour, only to run into the brick wall of the tailor's limitations, or wished to put something like, say, aloha shirts on my entire crew ... it would be a most glorious day for space barbie, to be sure!
And knowing is half the battle!

Between Orion bikinis, the glowy metallic tight shirt and pants options, tuxedos, and the insane amount of other random stuff you can mush together (Like mirror universe half-naked outfits), I don't see any reason why swimsuits, clubwear, and all the other randomly segregated outfits can't also be worn freely.
Edit: I almost forgot the fact that Cardassians can go shirtless whenever and wherever they want.
Meanwhile, with the half-naked Cardassians and Orions...
I also have the feeling it would become a zoo quite fast...
Both the Federation and the Empire have dress codes that needs to be followed by every officer, you guys are no exception.
Now, dismissed!
Oh, you mean the dress codes that went out the window when the game launched? Those dress codes?
Players are already doing that. New players don't have access to it out of the gate unless they role an Orion.
That ship sailed long ago. Also the money made from more player customization options with uniforms is a good thing for the game over all.
I'm guessing you mean the Romulan Star Empire here. Since KDF has the Orions and their racial outfit. Plus the Bare chest armor and cutout variant. Add to this shorts and a loincloth.
The tailor restrictions are just annoying. I know they want to keep the unique looks of certain things, like the MACO, or Honor guard armor.
But for someone like me. I tend to make customized races, and the restrictions, even on the model generator are annoying. as I can't actually make the entire thing look like I want. Even foundry authors a hit by these. Thus, why aliens generated that way, still tend to look like everyone else.
I don't mind some restrictions here.
For Example:
Uniform
Armor
Beachwear
Offduty
Every thing we have can be summed up in those four categories. And then everything for in those four categories can be mix and match.
also, anyone knows if there are some pretty, high heels boots or shoes out there? The sf academy boots are almost ok but I don't like its very basic texture.
Diplomat
Formal Heels
Seven of Nine Boots & Shoes
That's about it for heels.
You’re absolutely right.
Now excuse me, I’m going to go change into my entirely hot pink starfleet uniform.
However, race-restricted uniforms should remain as such. This adds inherent value to these races, a reason to roll them over a mimic alien.
Any and all outfits not falling under the above caveat should be freely mix'n'matchable.

Giving everyone a fully unlocked tailor across all factions? My vote would be a HELL NO for that. It's bad enough that Federation players got to carpetbag ship stuff that made the KDF unique.
I am all for being allowed to kitbash reputation outfits to uniforms, and allowing clubwear to likewise be kitbashed for uniforms and armor, however. Or the formal and robes outfits.

I'm very much in favor of this. The KDF by default has less to work with and yet they have a large reservoir of costume parts spread across their species. These aren't premium options (such that opening them up could remove incentives for paid content) and the standard FED options demonstrate that exclusive clothing options aren't necessary to create compelling playable species (body, traits, and background are enough). Plus it would fit the narrative of an empire that through conquest and politics is becoming more integrative (foreshadowing their eventual partnership with the Alliance.)
It just seems like a simple mechanical solution (compared to: build lots of new free uniforms for the KDF) to a long standing deficiency, with interesting world building implications as well that fit the overall arc of STO.
