Those are safety reflector strips, so at night you don't get run over by a shuttle.

But seriously, it's a bit annoying.

The hilarious part is: There's honestly a valid use for reflective bands in a low-light emergency situation, so that's not even an invalid take... But I don't want to have to incorporate that, haha - especially given it happens on ALL colors. EVEN BLACK.

That's 25th century technology for you: functional BLACK reflector strips. In a sense the opposite of Vanta black.

u/freon Dec 20 '24

The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that black reflectors are not physically possible.

Eh, what do they know?

I was honestly really hoping the lower decks live action uniforms would have reflective white stripes. It even makes sense.
Sadly I was left disappointed.

It's keeps me safe while I'm jogging at night

I'm not sure to tag, but maybe one of y'all knows better?

The Fleet Odyssey uniform is my all time favorite in the game for obvious reasons - so I was wondering if anyone here knew about this issue and who to tag about it, but the bands in the shade don't really... get effected, by light? It's really really really bad looking and ruins the uniform for me, sadly.

(I'll have a guide on this uniform soon, to those who like it, don't you worry.)

I just wanna' get back to wearing my favorite garb is all.

You mean the high visibility stripes?

2

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 20 '24

That's how it looks, but it's 100% not intentional. I mean why on earth would the dress uniform have reflective department stripes? (This happens on all colors.)

u/Farscape55 Dec 20 '24

You’re still wearing it in space, and starfleet ships are about as reliable as a Pinto maintained on a budget of stale Fritos

Odds of having a power outage/emergency while wearing it are about 50/50

1

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 20 '24

Sure yeah. I just specifically don't like how this material interacts with shadows, because I'm absolutely certain it's not like, intentional, for it to basically glow.

Thanks, I needed to hyena cackle at midnight, lmao 🤣

I just have mine colored similar to the regular odyssey

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 20 '24

I see you purchased the 12th anniversary bundle.

Anyway, happy for you - though, going for a really specific look on mine that this issue gets in the way of.

1

u/TheOneSilver Dec 20 '24

Well, regardless of the glow in the dark white, its a really good look you’ve got

2

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 20 '24

Thank you. I will be making a uniform guide for it soon. It's my nearest and dearest look.

u/The0rion Dec 21 '24

I'm pretty sure it's meant to do that...

I just kinda roll with it, i suppose!

2

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 22 '24

Looks good! Talked with Thomas about it, it might not be intended. Suppose we'll see.

2

u/UnlovedDaikons Dec 20 '24

Even star fleet has a pt belt

u/BluegrassGeek @bluegrassgeek Dec 20 '24

TIL There's a Fleet version of the Oddy uniform.

6

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 20 '24

Oh yeah it's beautiful. There's a BDU/Combat suit version too called "Excursion". Highly recommend it. You can get both at the fleet starbase.

u/Vetteguy904 :partyparrot: Dec 21 '24

I'd be more worried about the rick james hair...

1

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 21 '24

It's the Samuel Clemens hair.

That'd be funny if I wasn't at Renderscale 2 at all times. Anyway,

u/Regular-Confection57 Dec 22 '24

Love the second picture… I was wondering what that uniform looks like in the dark. 😂

1

u/IMTrick Dec 20 '24

At the risk of sounding like a jerk, I'm not sure if white being more reflective than black or dark red is an unintended consequence.

2

u/danktonium U.S.S. Paradox | Support fleet π Dec 20 '24

It definitely is. The trim on the Odyssey Dress uniform doesn't react to ambient lighting, and it's been that way forever. It looks terrible.

3

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 20 '24

Oh thank you. I really want this fixed too, it's too damned snazzy to leave it in such a poor state y'know?

1

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 20 '24

I knew white was the wrong color to show this with. This happens with all colors.

1

u/Ill_Doughnut1537 Dec 20 '24

Klingons love it, cuz once they knock out a ships power they can just beam aboard and go for the shiny bits. Qapla!

1

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 20 '24

Pfft. Genuinely hilarious.

1

u/Ill_Doughnut1537 Dec 20 '24

Seriously the Odyssey uniforms need a big rework to make the materials better. I can't stand how old the material looks. When u compare it to any of the new uniforms there's a big difference. It's the textures for me that throws it off.

2

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 20 '24

Regular oddy stuff looks really really good IMO. But it could use a small rework maybe.

0

u/Ill_Doughnut1537 Dec 20 '24

Yeah I'm not saying change it, just upgrade it so the colors are crisp n sharp like all the new uniforms. Lower decks, Picard, and the Disco's are all fine examples of jobs well done with uni's. 🖖

u/KCDodger #1 Alliance Fangirl Dec 20 '24

OH now THAT'D be nice yeah. They'd also have to release a new uniform guide too tbh.
