I have been playing around with the new Rep items on the Tribble server. if you look at Tier 5 of the rep, you will see Burnham's CQC Armor, and Burnham's CQC Enviromental Suit, however when looking at the two items on tribble, it seems they both share the exact same stats, the only difference being that the Enviromental Suit functions as an enviromental suit (duh
) so what is the point of the armor? does it have anything unique about it that i have not noticed, or is there no reason at all to go with it instead of the enviromental suit?

Whenever you are wearing an EV suit, you can bring up your inventory and right click on your equipped EV Suit. You select 'Disable Visuals' and you can wear the EV suit without the visual. The visual only returns when you activate the EV feature of the suit.
That is absolutely correct.
that begs the question then: why in the world does the armor version even exist? i suppose it might be for costume unlock.
Right now, it appears to be completely pointless. I assume they put it in for a reason.. I just don't know that reason.
We have not been given anything official here but rumor has it that cryptic could release a dedicated EV suit slot for our characters in the foreseeable future.
If they do the players could enjoy not having to re-equip when needing an EV suit while cryptic could enjoy selling us almost the same stuff twice.

It is not a rumor, it is going to happen according to livestreams and other outlets.
No official word on a release date atm IIRC it's being worked on but was not ready to be announced during last Ten Forward Weekly stream (beyond the "being worked on but no ETA at this point" part).
