Currently, I've yet to see any diplomacy clothes other than the ones awarded in the getting started quests and various quests that can be picked up after you've started civic.

The problem, however, is that most of the quests you get once you've been let loose on your own require you to have presence in one or another Station of 35+. After grinding my civic diplomacy for days, while I have gotten my skill level to 75 I still haven't managed to get any Station above 15 (Including the clothes' bonuses). Noble is the exception since they gave me a +11 Noble staff from the civic introduction (Thestran Human), but I've yet to run across a quest needing that Station. At this rate, I'll be at 125 skill before I can even do some of the 50 skill quests. And yes I've been diplo'ing with NPCs of the same Station instead of picking random ones.

It seems like clothes are the only realistic way to get Presence (I've seen some quests require 200+ of some Station). Turning in information seems to net me with a bunch of little prestigious baubles and no actual clothes. So my question is, are there other ways to get diplomacy clothes? Or do I pretty much have to suck it up and grind for weeks just to do a very simple skill lvl 50 quest?
