Seem a bug has been introduced into the visual effects of the Adapted MACO Covarient Shield Array.
The visual effect used to be a paten of hexagons where the inside of the Hexagon was clear and the outline was black.
That has now been reversed so when you enable the shields visual effect it looks like this.

Note the hexigons are now filled black and the outline is transparent.
This makes your ship look black where the effect shows like this.

Which frankley looks a little TRIBBLE.
It took a long time to grind for these shields and I really hope it gets fixed soon.
