Wouldn't I be able to at least SEE the old swimsuits?
Only through what's available at the summer store if you have that unlocked from last year.
If the store is not supposed to be unlocked at all to my Jem'Hadar (who didn't even exist before last week and has never attended a Risa event at all)...why is all this other stuff there?
The reason I am asking is: I can see all the Food, Aloha shirts, board shorts, Explorer outfit, pets, Kit modules and BOFF training manuals. I even purchased one of the Kit Modules, Purple Floater and Risian Flowers and bought 2 different drinks because I made 2 different Risa Tribbles. So, those are there actually available for me to purchase...on my Jem'Hadar.
But absolutely NO swimsuits on the KDF side in the Risa Vendor. Not even the old ones. Which is why I was asking if he had a FED Jem and what he sees. Actually...ANYONE with a Fed aligned Jem'Hadar who is on Risa can respond. It is that Risan Vendor on the docks next to the Tailor.

@echatty
I'm guessing you're a much better player than me. I don't do well with escorts. I'm learning sci ships, but cruisers are my thing. The Ryn'kodan doesn't work so well for me. It's the lack of turn rate and lack of firepower (six weapons). Still, I'd be interested in hearing about what you put on your tetryon builds.
Eh, I'm an average player and I don't shoot for the high deeps. Most of my toons stay around the 10k range, but that's enough to do what I want to do. I usually clear out the Rom patrols in under five minutes each (with the exception of maybe Beta Lankal and Galorndon Core. I don't even have all his gear maxed.
This is basically what he has:
Ok, I recognize the Nukara set, and the Butterfly set. What is the space set? Is it a 4 piece? If not, what's the warp core?
I recognize the Crystaline console that boosts antiproton. I'm sure if I looked up what else it does, I could figure out what it does for your build. Obviously you have a second tetryon dual beam bank, but what is the torpedo? I recognize three of the devices. What's that red one? What are the rest of the consoles? Too bad I can't hover my mouse over them and just see. Not that I tried that, or anything. Anyhow, thanks for posting.
Ship set: Nukara Rep
Warp core: Temporal Phase Overcharged from Butterfly
Torpedo: Gravimetric Photon from Dyson rep
Device: Red Matter Capacitor from Phoenix Box: +25 all power levels for 20 secs, repairs all disabled systems
Consoles:
Subphasic Defense Drone
Nukara Particle Converter
Conductive RCS Accelerator
Tellium-D Plating from Ragnarok
Crystalline Absorption Matrix-gives some damage resist, so I use it
Temporal Disentanglement Suite from Butterfly
Emitter Refocuser from Renegade's Regret-boosts tetryon damage, shield restoration and drain
Interphasic Instability from 2017 MI Event: Radiation damage -25 all dmg resist to foe and -50 turn rate and speed to foe's allies within 3km
Harasser Probes from Vorgon Xyfius
Automated Defense Turret from Phoenix Box
Rule 62 moltipurpose Combat Console from lobi store: +45.8 power transfer rate, +17.2 drain, +11.4 mine/torpedo damage
And that's it. I'm pretty much using things I already had and it all works. If I find a console that works better than the Crystalline one, I will replace it.
@avoozuul : That's a nice-looking build on that Scryer.
Now a LTS and loving it.

I checked on a new KDF Delta Recruit (my Jem is KDF too), they don't see any of the swimwear either. It looks like the Risa vendor has a selection of items available throughout the year and it's only during the summer event that swimsuits are available. I can also confirm this with a FED with past event participation. They can still obtain any summer event item through the reputation store but Risa vendor is restricted.

I didn't even know the vendor on Risa stayed there at all. Most of the Risa NPCs vanish when the event ends.
I just took my FedKling tac through Japori in her Vorgon carrier and it did 15k+ DPS. I was just curious what the difference between my tac and sci would be in the same ship with similar loadouts. FedAlien Sci did 16k+ in Japori.
So that's more than enough for me.

No one with a new character has access to the summer store (and some swimwear options) until summer event begins, but I did see a Jem wearing a piece yesterday. I forget what it's called. It's the classic silver whitish piece - Swimwear Retro with bare chest straps around the shoulders.

Don't get me out of bed and bring up my computer to check on one of my low level Delta Recruits at this time of night. Not quite the same as checking on a FED Jem'Hadar...but it will just have to do.
OK...Just checked with Level 11 and 12 Delta Recruits one Fed one KDF....they all have the Risan Vendor open to them. Have all the food, shorts, Hula Shirts, pets, kits, BOFF manuals floaters....everything to buy right there. Just no swimwear in sight. All my characters who can get there can go shopping for Risa gear....whopith the exception for swimwear.
All I can say is: this is a very strange Summer shopping lockout.
(Flying to Risa from Qo'nos in a Tier 2 ship is awful, ain't that fun fro Sol, either....thank goodness for Transwarp to home world)

:::::::::::This stupid **** game made me a crazy woman.::::::::::::::
Embrace the madness.
PS. The vendor will be restricted for everyone right now. Year 'round access is unlocked (per-character) through the event store in the reputation tab (first thing a new character does on Risa when the event begins.) If someone has that, then they could use favors to buy a swimsuit on one character and then send that over to their Jem'Hadar (via mailing to their own @ handle or an account bank.)
Also, from the 6/15 patch notes:
Resolved an issue where some [owned] swimsuits would not show up for Jem’Hadar and Cardassian captains.
At the very least, Cryptic is trying to get ahead of summer event issues affecting Jem'Hadar. So, if something does in fact come up then it shouldn't take much shouting to catch their attention.

I really hope they announce it on the 28th for the 5th, I am already bored with the new content as I did most of it during the first week or so, all that's really remaining for me is the rep.
Look to the Exchange for that swim ware. You can buy that all year long.

Just a quick thought here. But, given how they're waiting with Lohlunat, aka Summer Festival, am I the only one to think?
Perhaps they're waiting, because from past experiences when they've added new reputations, people have always complained about that box not being in the monkey/bird trade in, and that by waiting, most everyone will have the Gamma Reputation at Tier 5. Thus, allowing them to add the gamma marks box to that trade in.
Edit:
Yes, I know, this makes a surprising amount of sense. I'll take my demotion and move on.

No, you weren't the only person to think, no it's not surprising how little sense it makes for them to replace an unpopular decision with an even less reasonable and popular decision.

Eh, I expect they'll just not include Gamma marks.
Also most of my characters won't need to trade birds this year. My actual Recruit has gotten 95% of his Gamma marks from the "you leveled up! You cleared X queues!" rewards. And all my other characters are getting their 660 marks (how much you need with sponsorship) via those same account reward boxes. None of them are leveling Gamma yet except the recruit, who won't be done until August.
(And the recruit is getting all his OTHER rep marks via the BorgRA & CCA queues he's doing for the unlocks, and from the Delta & Temporal account rewards. I think I've only gotten ~20-30 gamma marks from actual new Gamma content.)
Personally, I think they're just busy, between the ViL release and the new featured episode that's coming out.

Exactly the same for me, except I'm leveling the gamma rep on my main so I can get the "sponsor" title in the right place. Daily box is more than enough for reps and I still haven't even claimed half the D/T Recruit unlocks on my jemmy.
I did the gamma content once each on my main to see what they were like, that's it. The reward structure in this game is seriously lacking.
Though TBH, I never farmed birds/monkeys/epohhs for marks anyway. I just collected enough to get one of each for my main to keep, and only ever traded in spares and the ones that didn't crit.
Which is why...unique rewards always better.
