Would be a cool feature to add different Star Trek era variations of the NPC uniforms, instead of just having only the stock game Federation uniforms for STO, having
different NPC's wearing eras like TOS, TNG, DS9 etc would be a lot of fun.
Also,
more facial/head accessories like Ro's headband and
new hairstyles for Male and Females would be a nice addition.
More faces + hairstyles
I know its a long shot, but what about...
Triexians as a spieces????

I think things should remain the way they are. Some (already existing) differences based on function make sense. Like having slight alterations for the dress variants or extra pockets for expedition outfits.
But other than that things shouldn't vary too much. It's called an uniform for a reason after all, if the people wearing it are from the same organisation (and they are), then their attire should look the same too.
Also, now that I'm looking at that picture of Ro: more options to give our toons tennis faces, during fights for example.
After searching Memory Beta, which is the Beta Canon archive for Star Trek, they do exist there, however not as the same species as Edosians. They "bore a resemblence" to Edosians. And the majority of their appearances were in novel and not any form of on screen appearance. While Memory Beta lists a TAS and LD episode as well as novels and short stories... Memory Alpha, which covers on screen Canon... do not even have an article on Triexians. So that relegates them to Beta Canon existence only and not on screen Canon.

So no... they're not the same thing according to research.
Starfleet have something for that, it's called Temporal Investigations, Those types of NPCs would all be part of the Time Police, unfortunately ESD or The Academy has no such building to house that part of Starfleet, so you'll never meet them.
I can practically see my Klingon captain in my TF2 Bill's Hat.
The only time during operation where you'd see the hallways packed like that was a evacuation
Another problem is that if you are making TOS characters the only boffs who can use the other insignia (the ones mistakenly identified as "ship insignia") are the ones from the TOS tutorial itself.
For example, I made what was supposed to be a TOS-era merchant marine crew (what is erroneously called the "Antares insignia" is actually the Starfleet Merchant Marine badge, the Antares in TOS was a supply ship). Unfortunately, after getting to 2409 it turns out that even with the TOS uniforms unlocked in the c-store the only insignia available to the 2409 boffs is the "active starship duty" delta.
For most of my aliens, it's difficult to get a good, human-looking one. Most of the times you can choose various sorts of brown and that works if you want that colour - otherwise you have to pick orange or shades of white that make them look way too pale.
Speaking of FCT, I am gonna go talk to Baddmoon regarding editing #15 as that changed with the avialability of the Valkyirie and Kodai fighter pets...
Most things we get are kinda like lego pieces. Mix and match. However its possible that they specifically modeled those three hairstyles onto those particular character models and thus... its not lego piece like.
As someone who is a costume fiend in STO... I feel the pain. That ponytail would be nice.
