Why in the name of all that's holy is there still a stupid 'off duty' category? Does this exist for any reason other then completely ruining anything fun?
Very disappointing.
That has always been the only reason it existed. It makes no real sense. It is especially bad for KDF/Roms who arguably don't have proper uniforms for KDF (We know the Orion uniforms which the KDF doesn't care about) and Romulans which are an ad hoc military at best with former colonists captaining ships.
KDF has a weird assortment of species specific costumes.

Oh that is realy sad. I so wanted to make more boffs that look breen. The text you linked reads like that a final word on it has not been spoken yet so lets cross fingers.
In fact, it seems it is wrong that they are only Off-Duty. Apparently they are in both Uniform and Off-Duty category.
Relevant settings to see them according to reddit:
You need to have lower setting to "uniform - pants tight" or they dont' all show up. The same for the top, it needs to be "tight", and the head setting needs to be "helmets and wraps"

Yeah, the Breen that supervises the Pie Contest definitely shows that the Uniform is in the Tight Category.

Cryptic simply doesn't want hordes of horny teenagers walking about ESD in nothing but a bikini. 'Off-duty' is just their way of saying 'take it to private.'

As mentioned, Off Duty can already be worn anywhere. And includes several of the Risa two-piece swimwear tops (Criss-cross, Sling bikini, Retro...)
And in the Uniform category, you've got Orions in bikinis, Mirror crop-tops & shorts, miniskirts, 7of9 Catsuits, and a variety of other things.
If someone wants to walk around ESD/in missions/etc in something "sexy", they already can. The variety of odd restrictions (including the various 'special' categories) just make things annoying for people trying to be creative with their PCs and BOFFs.
Got the Breen costume today and decked out my entire away team...
AMAZING!
Seriously, this to me is the 'grand prize' of the winter event.. I am just absolutely thrilled with the Breen Costume. I'll be happy to have the ship.. don't get me wrong.. but man.. the Breen Costume is just fantastic.
Don't let this one pass you by guys.. get out there and get it, it really does look great!!
Big thanks to the Devs for this one.. they seriously killed it with this years Winter Event. I have nothing but good things to say about this year.
Is anyone else having trouble with the reputation event selection? After talking to Q for the first time and getting introduced to things (first year playing this game), I was prompted to go to my skills area, select reputation and then select an empty box in the event category. There's even tutorial pop-ups pointing me in the right direction once I went to it. Unfortunately, I can't select any of the empty boxes that are in the event category. The tutorial pop-ups are saying I'm on step 1 of 4, but the option to actually select an empty box is disabled (the boxes are all greyed out). I can do other reputation stuff just fine (I'm at level 65). Any help on how to actually select something and get to step 2 of 4 in the tutorial would be welcomed.
Also, how do you sign up for the fastest game on ice? I walked all over the map yesterday and couldn't find any NPCs that were associated with it. Thank you for any help you can give on this.

Q's tutorial has not been updated, the Winter Event is in the new Events tab in the Mission Journal. Also, to sign up for the Fastest Game on Ice there is a Breen Racing Coordinator in the Frozen Gazebo who you need to talk to and accept his mission. Then, you need to go down a path to the Breen Race Official, you will get an interact button that says Start The Race or something like that and you need to press that button when it shows. Thanks.
@names2long#2415 As stated above, that tutorial is out of date as Events were updated this year. The Mission Journal now has an Events tab to automatically track Event progress.
If you want to participate in "Fastest Game on Ice," after you beam in to Winter Wonderland, turn around. The Breen NPC should be behind you. After accepting the mission from him, go left out of the gazebo, down the steps, and towards another Breen NPC on your left just past the bridge. He's the Race Official to start the race. You'll be transported to the track automatically where you'll start the race. Good luck!

Thanks everyone! I got a bit confused with the fastest game/race, because it seems like it is called both a "game" and a "race" depending on where you look, and I was thinking they were two different things. Thanks again for the help! I really appreciate it! Excited to hopefully get a T6 ship

You can walk about ESD in "off-duty" all day.
