Cool.
(Not hip on the blue, though. Prefer the olive.)
Olive? I always thought it was a sea green. :p :D
Another set (at Sea Tyger's request)

On the topic of Blue vs Teal/Sea Green/Olive, I like the blue as it is a TOS colour :)
The charcoal tunics look better with the trim, I think.
Once again I have to agree with Navy...I must be a closet Swabbie.:DQuote:

I like the charcoal as well.
What era are we looking at here? I also like the charcoal, but I'd keep the inner-panel(?) the same color.
Not sure what you mean. Which colour for the inner-pannel?Quote:

The tan portion of the maroon uniforms, I'd suggest any single color, vs. the dept. color concept.
Oh I see, keep the tan. Yeah I tried that and it looked terrible. Too many colours on one uni and it was too close to the gold as well.
Trial and error that's what this is all about :)
Have you tried retaining the white for the underlining of the blood/maroon overcoat? Sorry, I can't think of any color that would blend with blood/maroon.
Personally, I'd go with black underlining for the charcoal overcoat, if not silver/grey. I also think there should be a black trim bordering the neck of the overcoat.
I see what you mean, but I am saving white for the Admiralty. So I wouldn't use it on non-Admiral/Commodore officers.Quote:

Oh I see what you mean (about the lining and the neck thing) I like the linking being the same department colour, don't know why, it just suits my tastes.Quote:

As for the black around the collar. I agree, but have not the patience to do it, and besides the actual movie gen unis don't do it either.
Thanks for the feedback though, gave me some thoughts :)
If anyone wants to look at the finalized images go here
And here's an image done by Lancer for me.

Not bad eh?
I like the charcoal as well, Aslan. Although, to be honest, my firt thought on seeing them was Trek meets the Confederacy... ;) Not that that's a bad thing, though. I liked the Confederate uniform...
I like them.
A lot!
In fact - they're so good I'd like to use them in my next campaign which is set after the Dominion War. If Aslan is ok with me printing them off.
The uniforms look so great to me because they contain the new uniform elements (DS9 onwards) whilst maintaining the classic style of the movie era uniforms which were always my favourite uniform.
I'd even say that their design came about when Starfleet wanted to introduce a new post-war uniform but also have a homage to the more historical elements of Starfleet uniforms.
Of course - it'd mean me swapping the red and gold department colours.
Thank you Aslan!
I like them.
So, your game is run in the era of the Scottie Suit, eh? All that nasty radiation that they seem to have cleaned up in TNG. Never could really understand that, you are standing 2 feet away from a reactor powerful enough to get a starship up to light speed...and your're not glowing!:D
Looks like you are on your way to a really good game there Aslan.
The Alpha Quadrant shall rise again! ;)Quote:

Interestin take on the angle there Doug, can't say I don't agree. :)
You are welcome and feel free to use them. Swap departments away sir.Quote:

I snipped your bit about the Ds9 unis from the quote here, but nice thinking :)
Thanks for the kind words Phantom. Yeah rad suits are.. well Rad! ;)Quote:

The campaign is shapping up nicely and I am so very very excited about it. Heck look how much posting I have been doing lately. Feels like the old days again ;)
These are bloody great, Aslan! The charcoal jackets are a wonderful tilt, and I like the return of the departmental colors.
Well, let me see what you got for the flag officer uniform. Because if you're going with a white overcoat (with white underlining) and pants/trousers, then having a white underlining in the line officer uniform is not that big of a deal.Quote:

I understand.Quote:

Well, IIRC correctly the GEN top/shoulder portion is already black to begin with, unless you're referring to the early DS9/VOY unis.Quote:

And besides, I like the wraparound be consistent for the wraparound charcoal overcoat the flap panel have a black trim border but stopped at the middle of the front collar.
Otherwise, I probably would add a high collar on that overcoat. with the turtleneck's department color peek through adam's apple.
Pretty good. The only hangup I have is the whiteness on the starfleet insignia on her left chest. I'd go for metallic colors all the way similar to TNG (just remove the white).Quote:

I have no idea what that uniform you just described is, but it is not what I am going for. Sounds neat though :)Quote:

That is my Admiral's uniform.
Actually I am referring to the Movie Gen unforms (Trek 2 - 6 and a bit at the start of Generations). I see what you are getting at, but it is not where I am. :)Quote:

Since I am working with screen grabs of the actual unifoms that won't be happening, though it does sound nice.Quote:

Man I wish I could make clothes for Poser, then I could make a custom uniform to my liking. :(
Okay. So, you're going with the same charcoal overcoat, same pants, but departmental tunic is white for admiralty/flag officer.Quote:

Honestly, I would have gone with white overcoat, pants, and keep departmental color tunic appropriate for their station, like Admiral of Starfleet Medical, with the exception of high-level offices like the Chief of Fleet Operations, which wear white departmental color tunic.
Of course, the white overcoat should have light gray/silver trim borders to replace the black trim borders
Well, when you say "Gen" I though it was short for Star Trek: GENERATION, the first TNG film.Quote:

The military-style uniform, which I love above all others, is from Star Trek II-VI.
Sorry for the rambling.
Sorry - I had to post this.
A red 'x'?
LOL!
That is too frellin' funny! :)
Obviously some can see it and some can't.Quote:
