[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Yeah, Sloan was a filthy sonofabitch liar. I wouldnt trust him to tell me how long he was in high school, the filthy sonofabitch. Bashir got kidnapped when the old uniforms were in use. All there is to it. Besides, stardates are no indication of how much time has passed and arent chronological. We have no way of knowing how far before IPS/BIL Rapture was based on them. Stardates are filthy sonsofbitches. Probably Starfleet uniform designs take a while to be disseminated. Thats why Kirk and Co. switched to black collar uniforms after WNMHGB, but the Antares crew still had ribbed collar variants in Charlie X. .. We know that the season 3 TNG uniforms coexisted with DS9 uniforms .. they were even worn interchangably aboard the 1701D in Generations. Presumably, Picard chose only to use the regular uniforms, but at some point cleared his crew to choose between the dressy ones and the fatigue-ey ones (kinda like the difference between khakis or whites in the navy.. arent some just summer uniforms?.. or the personal decision involved with the TMP uniforms.. Wearing the tunic, or the epaulet jumpsuit, or the lapel-leisure tunic, etc....) So those uniforms are a group, and then Fleet changed to grey shoulders. Presumably farther out starships had to wait til they got an update before they switched to them, so in Rapture, DS9 had been updated.. but some starships still had the DS9/TNG variations. The people wearing the TNG uniforms in Rapture probably came from ships where people wore both TNG and DS9 uniforms like was seen in Generations.. and they might have gotten their grey uniforms the following tuesday... and I'm thankful Voyager didnt get the specs for the FC uniform over the 'Message in a Bottle' and decide to change.. wouldve been a bit of a stretch in any case. Lets just assume the Federation ships wouldnt change uniforms bsed on a transmission, but would wait until they physically recieved them in a dock or rendezvous.. SO Antares never got black-collars, Voyager waited til it got home to switch to FCs and the ships from Rapture were stil lawaiting their updated uniform shipments. And crew in the 1701D corridors kept blindly wearing season 1 variants... (a while back i thought this would be a great way to signify enlisted versus officers.. officers had the season 3 collar and enlisted had no collar an pointy stripes on there shoulders.. oh well) Ross continued to wear his TNG admirals uniform for a while after the FC uni came into use on DS9 (i think during some of the war arc, but im not sure where he switched), so the admirals might have been the last to change. Youre right i mightve fudged up the Ross/Daugherty uniform time period. But as of FC Adm. Hayes wore a TNG admiral tunic too. [/QB][/QUOTE]
