    I played a little with the colors:

    Top (Tactical): S17/S12/A21/A8
    Rank: A8
    Insignia: A8/T22
    Boots: T6/T6/T6
    Bottom: T6/S12/S12
    Belt: T6/S17/T22/A8

    Accessory (Romulan): C14/C24/S15

    Don't think it's 100% correct but it looks like it...

    Also: I would be very much in favor (and would wear it) if this one would become the new fleet uniform, as this is something everyone can wear, no matter the race/faction.

    I actually really like the design and colour schemes of these new uniforms, I think I'll create a new costume for some of my toons Big Grin

    I also like this uniform, I may switch to it. though not sure about using it for fleet uniform as it's only available for a limited time, unless they change that.

    The uniform is surprisingly nice. Might be the newness factor but probably one of my favorite designs now, plus a nice broad color palette to play with. The vanity shield isn't my favorite but isn't too bad either. Still not super excited about the shift to "whales only" ship bundles in 2020, but at least they've been putting out a steady stream of decent new options for the tailor shop. Now if they'd only let my Romulan grow out his beard....

    It's a hard pass for me.

    The ship looks like a kitbash gone wrong and the uniform in my opinion isn't any better. I also don't see the point of the Khitomer Alliance itself.

    There's already an established treaty that between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, which means they're allied powers. They've participated in joint operations multiple times. Why we are combining the two into one makes no sense to me at least from a story perspective.

    Now real world perspective combining the two means less work on the Dev's end of things. Not knocking anybody who wants to rock the uniform or fly the ship. It's just not my cup of earl grey. Smile

    Finally a uniform everyone can wear including Romulan BOffs on a FED toon! Granted, we already had Dyson and Colony for that, but in comparison I really like the quality of this one!

    The Vanity Shield is ok, a little too green for my taste. But hey, it is free though.

    At first glance, it looks like it reused the models from the TWOK pants and the Jupiter Boots, but that might just be me.

    It's a hard pass for me.

    The ship looks like a kitbash gone wrong and the uniform in my opinion isn't any better. I also don't see the point of the Khitomer Alliance itself.

    There's already an established treaty that between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, which means they're allied powers. They've participated in joint operations multiple times. Why we are combining the two into one makes no sense to me at least from a story perspective.

    Now real world perspective combining the two means less work on the Dev's end of things. Not knocking anybody who wants to rock the uniform or fly the ship. It's just not my cup of earl grey. Smile
    I suspect reducing the dev workload is a big part of it. There are far and away more Fed ships than ships for any other faction, and since the Victory is Life expansion new Romulan and Jem'Hadar ships have been rare to nonexistent. Cross-faction ships are an easy way for the devs to offer something to all players regardless of faction preference. I just hope they don't abandon faction-specific designs entirely and start showing some love to Romulans and Jem'Hadar again.

    I wouldn't count on it to be honest...seems like almost everything is driven by Discovery and Picard these days and that may or may not mean a new ship or two for Romulans, and the odds those will be box ships. Nothing for Jems at all...Cryptic already dumped their system of making a 3 ship pack for each faction to be combined with the console from the Anniversary ship, so the only guaranteed ships all factions got are gone.

    I think it makes a lot of sense to start laying down some new Romulan ships. They are - for all intents and purposes - cross-faction. Buy a nice T6 Romulan ship, and everybody can fly them. Root for more Romulan ships! (Just not a Legendary Pack of them, please.)

    There's already an established treaty that between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, which means they're allied powers. They've participated in joint operations multiple times. Why we are combining the two into one makes no sense to me at least from a story perspective.
    The Khitomer Alliance is just the renamed Alpha Quadrant Alliance, which was formed to fight the Iconians and also includes the Delta Alliance. It is also the precursor to the Galactic Union which is or will be more or less the UN of Trek on a galactic scale.
    That is also why you get the option for emblems of each playable faction (Fed, Klingon, Romulans and Jem'Hadar/Dominion) on that uniform, as it is inGame not only an alliance between the Federation and the Klingons.
    As of 2411 (the current year inGame) the members are:

    Alpha/Beta Powers:
    Cardassian Union, Deferi Government, Ferengi Alliance, Klingon Empire, Romulan Republic, the Federation and both Lukari and Kentari Governments

    Gamma Quadrant:
    The Dominion (joined after that Hur'q buisness)

    Delta Quadarnt:
    Benthan Protectorate, Borg Coperative, Hazari, Voth Seperatists, The Hierarchy, Kazon-Ogla, Kazon-Pommar, Kazon-Relora, Kobali Prime, New Talax, the Turei and the Octanti

    The lore makes fully sense, at least for STO. Lets see what Picard is picking up from this in the future, as they already borrowed much from STO.

    Now real world perspective combining the two means less work on the Dev's end of things. Not knocking anybody who wants to rock the uniform or fly the ship. It's just not my cup of earl grey. Smile
    The Alliance Cruiser is ugly AF, true and I don't think it will be anybodys Hero Ship but as said, the uniform is good (I have probably the worst case of "style police" of everyone you might know). As for possible future ships: Ofc it's easier for the devs but also harder. I don't think many would have buyed that Alliance Cruiser if it would be in the Z-Store. So creating pleasing ships out of all that...
