I fully support a change... nothing better than entering Spring with new threads!

It's a well established part of Trek canon that the uniform changes over time -- even several times over the span of a few years. Granted, it has almost always been due to out-of-character reasons, such as Patrick Stewart's back hurting from the unitard pulling down on his spine or the whims of the next wardrobe designer who wanted to put his or her own mark in the series.

But change they did, and so dramatically at times that the new uniforms looked like they came from another show. Truth be told, that always bugged me. But it's an inescapable part of Trek. :)

If there's one thing I learned from our swing at doing this for The House, it's to never, ever underestimate the creativity of our fleeties. The klingon costume options are ridiculously limited, and I kind of expected a dismal failure, and yet we somehow came up with a bunch of options far cooler than I ever thought possible.

I'm really kinda excited to imagine what you guys would do with the options available to the feds!

And have we discussed what sorts of exciting prizes might be available to our potential winner(s)? Zen? Ships? A night with Traull?

Those of you who are voting "Yes, we should.", you should really consider that you might dislike the contest winner more than the current uniform. :P

Really hope this is a fully fleshed out feature! :)

I'm not against a uniform update, but given the limitations in the game I think the one we have is pretty good. It's simple and the white jacket gives it a formal look. Also, a uniform is supposed to be, well, uniform... I'm not going to wear something that's lime green and purple.

As one of the fleet old farts, I voted no. But that's mostly because we can't use the TOS-era outfits to mandate miniskirts.

i put in my vote.

Remember folks, any uniform or costume that has to be bought or unlocked in any way is available for use in a fleet official uniform.

Wait, this is a typo, right? You mean isn't available, unless I'm mistaken?

It was very much a typo. By definition the fleet uniform should be available for all fleet members, which means that it cannot contain any locked parts.

In other words, if you can't make the outfit with the costume creator on a new f2p account, it's not valid.

If we can make a new one that is nice then go for it i would like a new look for our fleet uniform.

Really? This I did not know. There's a fair amount of creativity in the "stock" clothing sets, but this opens things up quite a bit. B)

The game doesn't allow Fleet Uniforms to include anything with a "locked part". Basically anything from the C-Store or that's obtain from some mechanic in-game.

I think this should be changed but what I wanted to suggest to you was that we do a contest, people can submit their design and people can vote on it and the uniform with the most votes wins :)

Yes, that's exactly what we plan to do if the yays have it.

Not to sound too misanthropic with regards to this subject, but I think there is already a little too much craziness/fabulousness in uniforms thoughout the game already... I mean are we Starfleet or some sort of Merchant Marines hodgepodge?

Voted. :)

I think we should change it. Frankly, I don't think it's sleek or unique at all. I actually find it drab. Mind you, I'm no fashionista...

If it isn't changed, a second RP uniform would be nice for those if us that are involved in that group.

Perhaps this is an excuse for a contest?

(I also think there is a typo in Six's post, that unlocked uniforms can NOT be used, but not sure. I'm curious about the Odyssey set though...)

I that's its time for an update, while I like the look generally, I think as a GLBTQA fleet we can be a bit more fabulous...

Yes if we set the ground that, the new uni can contain any locked items
