Characters Wearing Beachwear on Drozana Station

Every weekend or so whenever I frequent a party being held at Drozana Station, I'd see a few characters wearing beachwear or bikinis. I tried having my characters switching over to their summer beachwear, but I keep getting an error saying that the attire is not allowed on the map.
How are other people able to have their characters wear their summer/beachwear on Drozana? Is this exclusive to the Lifetime Subscriber people?

Same issue with the ship outfit system, which is why you may occasionally see a Vengeance Intel Dreadnought wildly larger than typical examples of the class.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
RIP me, then...
I must have created my 1st character LONG after said "many moons ago" (I only started playing late 2019).
All three of those still work because they are not technically beachwear in the first place, though STO does not tell you that in the tooltips for them.
I would like a complete list of that small selection so I'll know what to buy at the next Risa Summer Festival.
Orion metal bikini? Sure, it's peachy.
Fabric bikini? Unclean! Kill it with fire!!!
Sigh. Just remove the tailor restrictions for both captains and boffs. Sure, *someone* will be deeply offended, but someone is already deeply offended that captains and boffs can wear any non-canon uniforms.
“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so [cl]ucking what."

Honestly I don't why furry species like Caitians and Ferasans would need bathing suits, everything is already pretty much covered in fur.

On the left is how it looks on Risa with both the top and bottom visible, on the right is one of the ways to wear it (on a Romulan anyway) with the bare chest option and a skirt (you have to wear a regular off-duty bottom of some sort, and it should have a high enough waist to cover the belt-like part of the top or at least blend with it):
The Andrea android outfit can be purchased at K-13 (you might have to get the android herself or it may be separate, I have not gotten it so I don't know the details). The halter one I was talking about is the same one that reyan01 showed above.
As for Furry species it could be similar to why some blind people use sunglasses not because they need them but rather for the benefit for those around them. Also if something is covered would depend on how the fur is distributed on the body which is something we really don't know all that well (we got only 1 example of a naked Caitian and even that was highly stylized and not very detailed not mention front being covered).
I apologize for being "that guy," but there is also another reason why the blind use sunglasses: protecting the eyes from UV and contaminants and injury.
True, it all depends on the individual person in question and the level and type of their disability.
Hmm... Criss Cross Halter, Sling Halter, Mini-T, Retro. I think that's all of them.
They go well with the Terran shorts.
(you might be able to find those on the exchange now, or you can buy them yourself from the event vendor if you have it unlocked on a character & have favors to spend. No need to wait for the Summer event to be active.)

Honestly I never bothered to check which ones are and which ones aren't as my main tends to wear normal off-duty clothes (or duty uniforms) when outside Risa or the Dranuur Colony (the 2 places where you can wear swimwear anyway).
While I don't object to people wearing what they want as long as the game allows it, I personally don't wear or even want to wear swimwear outside the zones that allow it.
Usually, when I use them as non-beachwear it is only for characters where it would make sense, like I have used the halter top and a skirt to simulate a TOS Terran Empire uniform (before I got the official one), and the gladiator outfit (with a normal bottom) as a faux-Orion outfit for my "Federation Orion" character, and one or the other for a few other aliens who find the standard shipboard/station temperature for the faction a bit too warm for comfort, or need more sunlight or air on their skin than humans, etc.
I have also done the opposite, and used heavier, jacketed outfits for those who find it a bit chilly (and in one case I just used one of the darker, longer jackets as ersatz trenchcoats just for the theme).
Yes, that would be reasonable. Just as it would be reasonable to let us use whatever bridge on whatever ship, but they've been fobbing us off with cheap excuses on that, too.
:: sigh :: indeed.
True, they would probably have sold more bridges if they could be used on any ship instead of the mess of arbitrary restrictions the have now. I would have bought the TOS bridge if it was usable anywhere for instance.
In a happier timeline they'd unlock use of all bridges and then sales of bridges would grow enough that they'd care about fixing the bugs. Maybe even enough that they'd make new bridges to sell.
Sadly we're living in the darkest timeline.
The Darkest Timeline would have "Human"/Emotional Spock, thank the gods that he only exists in the Kelvin Timeline.

I can get behind this.
Some female swimwear is available as "Beachwear Separates" and may be used for Off duty Uniforms. The main ones are the true 2 piece bikini type outfits. The Sling Halter, the Cross Tie Halter, the Mini T all work. I think the Retro "Gamesters of Triskelon" suit also works for Off Duty. The female versions of the "Hawain Shirts" also have an open shirt with bikini underneath option that I think still works in off duty.
The Mini T and Cross Tie Halter are really good ones for making off duty outfits from. They look like normal casual women's clothing. The TOS Mirror outfit makes a fairly passable Sports Bra if you are looking for something like an Out of Phase Hoshi costume.
