    Greetings UFP!

    Following on from the official announcement that Captains in Star Trek Online will soon be able fly any ship, regardless of the parent faction of said ship, we will be updating the signature guide where it pertains to the background image. To maintain consistency going forward, the ship image in officially produced UFP signatures must be faction appropriate for the character image that you are using.

    In summary:
    • Starfleet Uniform > Starfleet Ship. Note: this includes TOS and Discovery uniforms but we will not be asking for background ship images to be era-appropriate; characters wearing the Bajoran uniform from the guide can use either the Bajoran Denorios Interceptor or a Federation ship.
    • Klingon Uniform > KDF Ship
    • Jem’Hadar Uniform (Jem'Hadar characters only) > Dominion Ship
    • Romulan/Reman Uniform (Romulan/Reman characters only) > Romulan Ship

    The change is very much linked to what uniform from the signature guide the character being used for the signature can equip at the in-game tailor. As an illustration, my Joined Trill character is a Dahar Master and member of the House of Kular. As such, she can only wear the Klingon uniform from the signature guide and were I to request a signature using her as the character I would need to use an image of a KDF ship.

    We will not be applying this rule retrospectively so if your current signature falls foul of this change, we will not insist that you alter your signature now. However, should you request a change to your signature in the future you must be prepared to ensure that your background ship image meets the rules listed above. We know that this news will be something of a disappointment to those of you who see your signature as an extension of your in-game persona; but our signatures are not intended for that purpose but simply as a representation of who you are here on the forums.

    While these rules may not have made it into the official guides at the time this announcement is published, they are to be considered as in effect immediately.

    Makes sense, we are more than just a STO fleet, we are a Star Trek Community, as such, our signatures should reflect this.
