New style Federation formal uniform

Not sure of the provenance of this pic, but loving the new style coming in... Any chance, where it's released, we could consider revising the official Stonewall Uniform to incorporate these new jackets? I like the current one, but it's a little too 'regular' uniform compared to these.

This is the Diplomatic Corps uniform that is being proposed. I definitely think it would be great if Stonewall Fleet had a version of this for its diplomat members!

Yes, I think this uniform is only useable after a person has met certain in game requirements, like 'x' amount of diplomatic missions, so it would be difficult to make it a fleet uniform.

Oh, really?! Mew. :(

Source? I seem to have missed this memo entirely!

They're from a pic that dev posted on the forums some time ago. There is actually a post that I've lost the address for that compiled all of these pictures and they reveal a LOT of what's coming. I'll see if I can find it again and I'll post it on the boards here.

These are really sharp looking and the extra detail they are allowing in these is great. I wonder when they will be available in the game?

I saw these a few days ago and thought they were very sharp. I'd love to redo these as the fleet uniform, but if they're "locked" in anyway, then they can't be. I thought from what I read was that these were "Off duty" dress option, but I don't know for sure. If these are for the diplomatic corp, I'm gonna be spanmming diplomatic missions to unlock it.

If they are locked, one thing we could do is create a "Diplomatic Corps"-specific version of the Fleet Uniform. That way, those members who have toons in the DC would be able to have a uniform that expresses both the career track and the fleet affiliation.

Well I agree if they're gonna be an unlockable I'm going to be straight onto that...

On the subject of the Diplomatic content, I was originally under the impression it was being included to provide an alternative progression method to the United Federation of Genocidal Maniacs approach that 95% of content currently requires. Now I'm hearing it'll be an entirely separate progression line. If that's true, does anyone know exactly how that's going to work?

I was hoping you'd be able to advance up to Admiral without vaporising quite so many people, and more in the spirit of the Federation we're used to. Considering that the game's set during war-time, I'd expect it take longer to get promoted as a scientist than as a glorious battle-veteran, but still; my main objection to STO from the beginning has been its "We come in peace, shoot to kill" ethos. I thought they were fixing that a bit, but now it sounds more like a side-quest.

So yeah, can anyone share or point me toward more details?

If it's a "lockable" costume item, then it simply can't be set as a fleet uniform. If I try to do it, a pop up will come up saying that there's a lockable part and it can't be used as a fleet uniform.
