Racing Uniforms
This racing jumpsuit is an STO team favorite. Its crisp, clean lines produce a nice shape on characters, and the high contrast color scheme – white shoulder bar, black and grey paneling and burgundy trim – give it a really dynamic feel. It was first seen in an episode of Voyager called “Drive” (Season 7, Episode 3).
In the episode, Tom and Harry enter the Delta Flyer II into the first-running of the Antarian Trans-stellar Rally: A 2.3 billion kilometer race that is supposed to give the species in the area something to do besides fight each other. Tom thinks it’ll be a great way to put his new hot rod through its paces, while Captain Janeway sees it as an opportunity to be all Starfleet-y, so she lets him – she does tell them they’d better win, though. B’Elanna is not cool with it because Tom and she had plans and, of course, Tom forgot. I can’t remember if they win or not but I do remember the pop-up impulse thrusters and Irina’s gold pants (maybe we’ll make that costume someday!).
If you’re the kind of Captain that likes ripping around the galaxy in your 25th century hot rod, then this is the suit for you and your crew! They will be available for purchase in the C-Store starting this Thursday (August 30, 2012) around 10AM PDT.
Racing Uniforms (550 Zen)
As seen in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Drive," these uniforms are the perfect look for your next interstellar race rally! This costume pack includes a jacket and pants.

Note: Costume pieces from this pack may be used only in uniform costume slots. Purchase of this option unlocks these costumes for every Federation character on an account. Once unlocked, you can access these costume pieces at any tailor.
We hope you enjoy these new uniforms and we’ll see you in-game!

ukkorby
I totally agree with you!
vinru821 @ Sep 4th, 2012 9:07AM
Nice uniforms. But I think the majority of us would rather you hold off on releasing these things until some relevant stuff can be released with it... i.e. a ship. Make a ship just for speed! Like a shuttle craft with a super engine, where trans-warp 20 can be the base speed.. hell you would get the people that do the 'tour the universe' to buy it I am sure. This would have been the smart thing to do. But hey, I am not rich, you guys seems to be, only rich people are so frivolous lol How much money do you guys really make on these uniforms?
poopbang @ Sep 3rd, 2012 6:33PM
New blog please?
blu905 @ Sep 3rd, 2012 5:06PM
I know you're making money hand over fist with this crap, and don't care what your players have to say, but please stop making overpriced costumes and start making ships. And not 25th century bs ships that all look like tadpoles either. I'd gladly piss away thousands of Zen on things like a Constellation class, or a a vice admiral ranked Soyous/Miranda, hell even a JJverse Armstrong class or something. There is literally thousands and thousands of star ships from the old tabletop tactical combat simulator games and other video games that you could put in. I'd pay 2500 zen in a heartbeat for a Proxima class battleship before paying a single cent for more clothing.
agentexeider
ugh, don't mention that 'other' verse again. I get your point though.
thunderlake
Please no. The show is set in the 25th century, this parade of old models just feels anachronistic and weird.

Star Wars Rules!

Screw you
kemops @ Aug 31st, 2012 3:58PM
"Cryptic would make more money, if it would be only 200zen, because more would buy it." No, they are making more money by charging 550. The minimum you can buy is 500, so now you have to purchase 1000 to purchase this item. Now that leaves you with 450 to buy the next thing that comes out. Wait, I think you will have to purchase at least 500 more.
ultimusmagus @ Aug 31st, 2012 8:49AM
Now the devs need to add a racing event lol.
hawkhawkins @ Aug 30th, 2012 6:27PM
snooore.. as boring as the nx class uniforms. give me the edo rompers instead
feiqa @ Aug 30th, 2012 6:14PM
Interesting. If I can recolour it I may pick this up eventually. And while I feel the pain of those wanting a bit more KDF content, They have added something, every single Thursday since I joined. Sorry not all of it can be epic. They drop bread crumbs here and there as most of their people are probably working on the next 'season'. Just a suggestion, but if you want KDF clothes, ships, etc. How about telling them somewhere other than a comments forum? And maybe be specific? Send them links to pictures, get people to vote support. And when they release it, buy it.
vinru821
how woefully naive.
fuzzyjedi @ Aug 30th, 2012 2:00PM
Each uniform pack shouldn't cost the same, they should be scaled based on the content inside, more uniform options in a pack means more money, less uniform parts (like this) means LESS money. Also, I'm new to the game, haven't even hit lv50 yet, and even I agree, more stuff for KDF. There's obvious demand for it, judging by the comments...THERE'S where you get your money, not charging $5.50 for one jumpsuit.
zebular @ Aug 30th, 2012 12:49PM
Very nice looking. I am a huge Voyager fan, so thanks! Hopefully this uniform means that there is some type of Shuttle Race in the works! Oh that would be fun!
lordgabe @ Aug 30th, 2012 11:58AM
Ok Cool and the only defense for the constant Fed skins is simply there is more conent from the shows to work with as well as the obvious higher fed population, they'll always be a 2:1 ratio in favor of the Feds. So keep hoping that next one will be Klingon. I play mostly Fed but will spend on my Klingons now and then like I did with the Academy set.
starfleetdan @ Aug 30th, 2012 10:32AM
I suppose that you will create racing circuit for the shuttles (and perhaps fighters)! It would be interesting!
wuubb @ Aug 30th, 2012 10:23AM
so THIS is what you did during the 2 hours that i couldnt play for today during my vault shutle event followed by crafting hour? lame, at least let us who are already playing keep on playing while you add more bull
zerofate74
Its whining crying b*****s like you that continue to ruin this game for others. Grow up
vinru821
I think the 'person' that commented on this before me, is the truly a factor in ruining the game for others.. not you sir. I agree.. these uniforms are bull filler content.
jumpingjs @ Aug 30th, 2012 9:52AM
Even if I am not a KDF player myself, I cringe at PWE attempts to eep the KDF'ers hooked with new content, think about it this way, more players = more money being spent = better game all round. Then it makes your KDF c-store part more profitable, does it not? Anyway, the art team is A***** * , or in other words fan-dabby-doesy
theultimatefunky @ Aug 30th, 2012 3:12AM
i must admit that with a lvl 50 klink that i play rarely due to lack of content the sto team seem to favour the feds, ok so the klinks got a awsome looking EV suit, but the feds will be getting this uni, what will the klinks get????
darthpostal
I guess it was a rhetorical question. Klinks will get nothing. Absolutely nothing. As always. Forever.
neoakiraii
What's with the term Klink?? There is only one K in Klingon??? so where did that other K come from?
oakland4life
The term ''Klinks'' is obviously a racist slur made up by Fed players, just like saying ''Chinks'' to us Asians.
vinru821
Obviously klink is NOT a racial slur. and to suggest as such is ignorant. Why would he be referring to his own character in a racial slur?? Do you call yourself a 'chink'? and these uniforms suck.. see.. sticking to topic. Do something useful Devs.

Klinks was made up as an insult to KDF players from Feds players and the only KDF players that use that terms r either a Fed posing as KDF or a House Klink. and to suggest i called myself a 'Chink' is plain ignorant as ur statement. obviously u know nothin about 'history'! KDF needs more content!.. see.. sticking to topic. Devs should come up something soon if CBS butts out.
cloudinfinity @ Aug 29th, 2012 10:08PM
Hmm, how about adding some real content to the game? All these overpriced costumes and ships aren't enough to keep my playing.
lpcherryburst @ Aug 29th, 2012 5:28PM
I'm stoked I made this recommendation about a year ago for this uniform and it's nice to see that someone listened.
oakland4life @ Aug 29th, 2012 12:27PM
Not sure why people gonna complain about the price of the outfits, it is a free 2 play game and do need to make money somehow to fund the game. with all of that being said, as a KDF player i do feel like that the KDF side is being left out. they could have added outfits for the KDF side like the Kal'Hyah Robe, the ENT Klingon Uniform or the Lursa/B'Etor outfits. As for some of you ppl that gonna say there are more Fed players which means = money, right now the Feds already have way too many ships and far too many outfits at the Zen Store. which at this point any new stuff for the Fed side would not make as much money because are way too much options for Fed players have to choose from.
sharrashimada
Yeah, its f2p, but most of the gamers won´t buy a simple shirt fpr 550zen because its 5,50$. Thats way too much. Cryptic would make more money, if it would be only 200zen, because more would buy it. Additional to this, the users would be more happy, because they wouldn´t feel ripped of for simple stuff.
katzufarquestor
The fact of the matter is that rather than focusing on content like new stories or not just rehashing missions on KDF that you already did on FED, or getting around to the 'smaller fleets will generate fleet marks more effectively then larger fleets, or cleaning up bugs in the code that result in invisible walls and floors, or increasing the payout for diplomacy missions (not DOFF jobs,) or - as you said - putting out KDF outfits, or putting in a 'costume' system like other games have so that the gear you wear doesn't always have to be the gear you show others (except in PvP)... PWE is spending its time clothes shopping.
salacnar070890 @ Aug 29th, 2012 11:53AM
oke we get the racing outfit ノ( ^_^ノ) (J^o^)J now give us the race
darthpostal
There is a race across galaxy for credits event. Just saying.
abrahamjohnson83 @ Aug 29th, 2012 9:52AM
Very nice! Get this fast.
joshmchenry @ Aug 29th, 2012 9:27AM
Great looking uniforms! Though i think i'll stick to my usual. In the episode they didn't win as they were sabatouged by irina.
patmandoe1 @ Aug 29th, 2012 9:23AM
...Buy now and get an extra set of racing stripes for the 'tuned' Sovereign... My word, how easily, and with so little.. people can be pleased. I tip my hat to you Perfect World.
skaldra @ Aug 29th, 2012 8:35AM
Wow devs!!! Nice job on the uniforms... I almost want to take back what I said about the TNG Admiral ones, but I won't yet. These ones are definitely a must have in my books.
weltallfurzer @ Aug 29th, 2012 8:21AM
That uniforms look absolutely amazing but I still wonder why one can buy such a bunch of stuff at the C-Store for the Federation but not for the KDF. Please offer more deals for the KDF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
