Romulan Uniforms...… Why is it that Romulan captains who are aligned with KDF have access to KDF uniforms BUT Romulan aligned with FED DO NOT have access to FED uniforms?????
A plea to devs, make it so!
I have no problem making c store purchases, no doubt I've spent way to much money on this game but it doesn't bother me because this is a good game and it's Star Trek but I would like to see those purchases go further. Especially when it comes to uniforms.
Again, a plea to devs, make it so!

Dominion/Romulan players and Diplomacy boffs have the "not in Starfleet" excuse, but the C-Store officers have none.
I guess I should have been clearer, I was primarily thinking of non direct Starfleet uniforms, like the mirror uniform and some of the lobi store costumes like the Tholian robe.

The C-Store Klingons are Federation citizens and commissioned Starfleet officers, a KDF Trill is presumed to be a KDF officer. A Fed’Hadar is still a Dominion officer like a FedRom is still a Republic citizen. It’s sillier than their presence in Starfleet is already, but they aren’t gonna change it....and apparently they can’t if they wanted to
-Tellarite clothes
-Bajoran clothes
-Terran Empire clothes, except for Lorca's vest and coat from the recent feature event
-Ferengi clothes from the ferengi lockbox (but not ones from the DS9 lockbox)
-The tholian silk robe from the tholian lockbox
-The outfits of various non-uniformed characters, such as Troi and T'Pol (Seven of Nine's outfit was unlocked at some point...except the face implants which are still Fed-only)
Possibly more, I only did a quick look through the C-Store and lobi store.
Not really, there is no backstory or origin for them at all and they have no alliegence. As I said, unlike Romulan players and exchange boffs, there is no attempt to excuse the TRIBBLE tailor restrictions.
The entire description is: No excuse given whatsoever.

Nor are all Terran uniforms "duplicates" of Starfleet uniforms by any reasonable measure. For example, the sports bra of the TOS females or the golden regalia in Discovery.
And I wouldn't use the term "make sense" for locking Starfleet uniforms either, given we're otherwise free to use foreign uniforms at will. It's just an arbitrary directive by CBS.
I don't have a problem with the uniforms for the Fed Aligned Roms, but ensuring they are up to par with the equivalent uniforms and having third party uniforms such as the Fed Aligned member race uniforms available should be a thing.
Speaking in canon to the shows, Federation officers are seen in Klingon Armor on several occasions, there is no real reason to do this other than limiting OUR play style and imagination of our play. I would if I had my Druthers have an unlocked Tailor system, allowing you to appear how you liked, giving control to the player. Yes that means we would see a few wild out there costumes, but it also means we would have far more play and RP options in how our characters dress, leading to more sales of costume slots...

She was given a commission as a Commander if I remember correctly. Main reason was, while she is an expert on resistance efforts, the idea of a Bajoran Militia officer helping the Cardassians was a powder keg wating to go off due to history between Cardassia and Bajor. So the solution was to make her a Starfleet Officer, thus no longer representing Bajor alone.
And as we see in ViL, she reactivates that commission and holds the rank of Captain after stepping down as Kai.

"Not part of Starfleet" doesn't really mean much in the context of characters that already can and do wear the uniforms of a bazillion militaries that they're not part of. We can't wear Starfleet uniforms, because CBS said so. No other reason.
And if they could pull a Starfleet commission for Kira out of their butts the moment it was politically convenient, so could the Player Characters.
What is that whole "choosing an ally" ritual supposed to be if not a commission, anyway?
The clothes can be used by all. The hand implant can be used by all. The face implants are Fed-only. Guess which one is the most interesting part?
£100 and I can't even give the Boffs the uniform to match the backstory I give them... why even make them useable by non-Dominion players at all if you're going to force only a Dominion uniform on something paid for with real money?
You don't see KDF joined Trill being forced into wearing only Starfleet uniforms just because the Trill are a Federation member race or Federation Klingons being forced into wearing nothing but Klingon battle armour just because the Klingon race is a part of the KDF.
It is the same thing with eyepatches. With the advancement of medical science by this time there is no need for one.

Try telling that to the Klingons.
Also, the 'alien' character type (for those factions that have it) is flexible enough to get around that problem from the other side most of the time, like 'alien' based Vorta (and Cardassians before they were made playable) that you see on ESD or Drozana occasionally. With the way they make a single cross-faction ship as the prize for the summer, winter, and anniversary events instead of a box that spawns as a ship specific to a character's faction it is only really a problem if you want to use race specific character traits (like Orion pheromones or whatever) or something else (like a faction specific ship) that is not available to 'aliens' of other factions.
And again, it's about faction identity. These are fed outfits, those are KDF outfits, etc...

Klingons wear their scars with pride. Regenerating a lost eye implies that the Klingon doesn't consider his actions when losing the eye to be honorable.
Honestly, there's no excuse given for the Diplomacy/Marauding BOffs, the Embassy BOffs, the Liberated Borg Romulan Lobi store BOff, the Hierarchy BOff, etc. not being able to use the uniforms of the factions that commissioned them as crew members, and gave them their ranks in the service of their faction that they hold. It's just another arbitrary restriction. I can only see the restriction being necessary for Breen and Holgraphic BOffs of specific people. For every other case, BOffs should be able to wear the uniforms of the faction of the player that commissioned them.

-Diplomacy boff is allowed the uniform of the faction it comes from
-Marauder boff is allowed the uniforms of the player's faction
-Embassy boff is not allowed any faction uniform, unless the player is romulan themselves (or to be precise, it would technically be allowed to wear them, but since the Republic uniforms must be unlocked per-character by playing the romulan faction missions which non-romulan characters aren't allowed to play, non-roms can't actually dress it in them)
-The kobali boff is allowed a Starfleet uniform, regardless of player faction
And yeah, no particular reason for the hierarchy, jem'hadar, reman, etc mission reward boffs being uncustomizable (especially the hierarchy one as it actually is customizable if you got it as soon as the mission was released, it was only made uncustomizable after the fact...for whatever reason they didn't explain).
Of course, everyone is allowed to wear the Dominion uniforms. The blatant hypocrisy of Cryptic taking Fed uniforms away from jem'hadar players because "not part of Starfleet," while leaving the jem'hadar uniforms available to Feds. Apparently, the Federation IS part of the Dominion.
