I want the Reman Resistance uniform.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

DSC Enterprise uniforms.
I really don't understand why those haven't been added yet, it's just a slight retexture of the existing Disco uniform.
Its not just a retexture. While the base model is the same as the standard DSC uniforms, it doesn't have the same details, AND it needs a layer for rank stripes on the sleeves. So we are talking about a lot more work than it would appear. Things that look simple when it comes to gaming... aren't. I admit I'm no modeler or coder, but I understand that when it comes to coding or modeling... there's a lot more under the hood than we actually see in the end product.

1) Lower Decks, to include Standard, Dress, & Doctor's Coat (hopefully in animated art style just like the U.S.S. Cerritos if it ever releases)
2) Picard
3) 32nd Century
4) Beyond
5) The Cage
I wish Romulan REP had a Ground Tailor Unlock to expand Romulan Republic, perhaps even a Reman variant.
This.. a thousand times.. THIS!
Those shiny bits are modeled on I think, and have their own color set, which indicates they are a separate layer from the base. They may follow the same pattern, but certain sections are different from each other. Honestly your argument kinda feels like saying that you can just retexture the Kelvin uniforms and get the TOS uniforms by just snapping your fingers.
We're talking modeling and code work. Not just a simple texture swap.
At minimum you'd not only have to preserve the shiny lines and merge them with the base layer so that they color the same as the base, you'd have to remove the small shiny Deltas outright, which are tied to the shiny lines. Then you have to add a layer for rank stripes. Don't know if the pants and boots are different as I can never find a clear shot of them. Oh yea... and maybe a skirt variant for it...
So... it really isn't just a simple texture swap in terms of computer code.

Even better would be to bring out a few more of the TOS uniforms (especially the female ones) along with a quality pass for the current ones, especially including the version from In a Mirror, Darkly that mixed the soft mostly seamless look of the velour (early) type with detailing and and flat "V" collar from the double-knit (later) type which would be ideal for longer haired captains and crew.
It would also be good if they could put in the rank/department tabs on the TOS Klingon uniforms, they are missing though I suppose it may be difficult to put both the dagger insignia and the tabs on the model at the same time if the layers are not set up for that.
Of the rest, the jackets from Beyond would be good though the uniforms themselves are a bit underwhelming, a cut below the TOS ones you could say (but a big improvement over the ones from the first two Kelvin movies).
The DSC Enterprise uniform tunics are just short of revolting though the pants, skirts, and boots would look good with a soft raglan-sleeved velvet tunic similar to the TOS ones (before they started deteriorating, which unfortunately was within just a few episodes because the pile curled up in the wash causing it to stop shimmering, go to a kind of sparkle, then down to a dull felt-looking fuzz).
As it is the Discoprise tunics look so stiff and uncomfortable, almost like they are wearing flocked cardboard instead of cloth, and you can see when they move that the shoulders bind rather badly (which is why the TOS uniforms were raglan-sleeved, it doesn't bind as much). If the TOS and Discoprise uniforms could be mixed and matched like that without poke-through/clipping problems they would be good.
The other ones are not bad but not particularly interesting unless you are into the TNG spandex look, though they would be good in the interests of more choice.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
none of the above. the short sleeve outfit Kirk had in TMP, the Klingon armor from TMP, Gen Chang's outfit, the short sleeve "sexy" klingon outfits
Personally I'd be more interested in Nemesis style Romulan uniforms.
Yea, why I wish they'd add Tailor Unlocks for 1-2 Romulan Republic Ground SETs. Mostly cause Romulan have very few limited choices to change or customize...

But there are uniforms I want.
- A better looking Romulan Federation Uniform, the current one is awful, imho.
- An exBorg Uniform, like Hughs from Picard.

I imagine they'll save that for a potential Cooperative faction.
