New Dyson set visuals (Nothing) Why?

Why the new Dyson from mission "step between stars" don't show any changing visuals of the ship when it is equipped on.

Cryptic are you slacking this one?

In my opinion every space & ground set should show his unique visual representation.

Why you didn't implement this? Are you going to give us visualization of this New Dyson space set?

    The set is intended for the hybrid ships, and as they already have a unique look in their own right there was no need to give the set any visuals.
    It's not my fault if you feel trolled by my Disco ball... Sorry'boutit.

    I'd like a purple effect for my nacelles, a purplish deflector and a little more white hull option for my MUHCR. And I want the Solanae set (giving it a good shot), so no, the Jem'Hadar set isn't an option.

    Try the Dyson set from the Reputation if you want those sort of visuals.
    You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.

    Would try it, but since I was working on my fleet and campaigning against every sort of Reputation out there, my main has only achieved T2 Dyson last week (also T1 Nukara :D).

    So I'm a long road from the Dyson set, which I don't plan on grinding for (I can't log in every day, not even today, I'm doing forum stuff from the train home and still have to work this evening).

    I went for the Solanae set as an experiment on a fully experimental ship build. I like it. I'd like it more if it came with visuals.

    For the opposite view, I actually like it didn't come with visuals. Less clicking I need to do when I swap out stuff.

    Two likely reasons:

    1) Creating and testing a visual takes time the art team probably didn't have.

    2) Who would grind out the Dyson rep and pay dozens of thousands of dil for that set if this free one had a visual? Nobody, that's who.

    Me too. I wanted a set that didn't change my ship's actual visuals for once. So for one of the few times in history I LOVE what Cryptic did.

    Frankly, I'd love to see more sets available even if they don't come with visuals. The number of viable sets in this game is pathetic, and I'd rather by far see more useful, unique sets for different playstyles rather than the one size fits all borg set mentality we have now (with a few exceptions like adapted maco for torpedo builds). If we have to wait for artists to come up with visuals before we can have new gear, that'll just be a constrain on gameplay.

    That said, easy way around the solanae set visual problem is just copy/paste the visuals from the dyson set. They're the same tech right? Shouldn't be hard to do and pretty easy to explain.

    A metallic/specular blue material would be pretty cool I think. Like maybe 50% of the intensity of the Atrox. It's disappointing that it has no visuals but I'm not really surprised since the Dyson set does have its own material.

    They dont have time to waste on new visuals, they need to release everything fast, so they can start earning money as soon as possible. That is the same reason everything they launch, comes with 100 new bugs. Thats the way cryptic works. But seriously, you should be used to it by now...

    Anyways, the ships from the c-store are the same as the FE episode?? they dont have visuals either? because if that is the case.. rofl. Another reason to NOT buy anything from dyson. Cryptic should know by now that visuals are one of the most important things in a ship right now, and it is one of the things players want the most. But.. ZZ.

    It does have visuals ... :confused:

    It's subtle to be sure, but if you equip/un-equip the items whilst in space, you can see a slight colour change ... At least on the Aves it does, not sure about any other ship (haven't looked)

    Oh and you do get the pretty pink/purple "booster glow" when the weapon energy boost procs ...
    Oh, hoho hohhhhh, Oh,, hoho, hohhhhh
