Talk:Starfleet uniform (2366-2370s)

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

What is the canon reason for the consistant switching of styles of uniform, even on the same person, in say Star Trek Generations?

None has ever been given. -- Jaz ^talk 08:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Combat uniforms in action

The article currently states that the combat uniform has never been shown in action, but images for the operations gold male and female guards from the climax of the episode "Nor the Battle to the Strong" seem to contradict this claim. Also, there may have been scenes showing other Starfleet personnel on AR-558 in combat in the episode "The Siege of AR-558", but I'm not sure. - Intricated ^{talk page} 00:02, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maternity uniforms

Shouldn’t the maternity version of the uniform seen on Voyager be mentioned? – Sara marie 06:43, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Starfleet Body Armor Suits

Will anyone explain or make a theory on why Starfleet officers do not have any form of body armor that will protect them against enemy weapons fire? I am aware of the TOS body armor but in TNG, DS9, VOY, and even the last 3 motion pictures, you would think that when combating enemies such as the Borg, there would be some kind of armor worn to protect one's self from being shot and injured. There have been innumerable times when we would all watch Starfleet officers go on very dangerous away missions without any kind of protection from the elements. VOY does a good job of offering the space suits for situations where one is absolutely and obviously necessary, but they aren't shielded for enemy fire (24th century bulletproof vests anyone??? Where are they?). Viaesta 01:29, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Starfleet is primarily intended for exploration and diplomacy. I think it is not in keeping with the (original) spirit of the franchise to put an emphasis on militarism, however unrealistic that may be. -- Connor Cabal 01:37, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Federation ground troops have been seen wearing a multi-layer uniform which, for all we know, is just that sort of armor. Remember though that the disruptors and phasers they go against are capable of destroying very large amount of solid rock and metal, there may not be a very good "body armor" available. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 01:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

By the way, more information on the uniforms can be found here and here, depending on what time period you are looking for. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 04:13, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
