1. Not sure, probably a technical issue.
2. Customizable headsizes and clipping issues. You can kinda see this already in the Romulan Reputation cutscenes when their heads clip through the EV suits while they are talking. So instead, they make it reflective.

Whats the story on the EV suits in the dilithium store , at 350k dil each ive never dared to buy one to see what makes them so special
There's really no need when you can run through "a step between stars" and get the free solanee suits.

Currently, the EV suits replace your character's head completely (as I understand it).
So if the visor were transparent, you'd just be looking into the howling abyss.
The EV suits from the FE would be a special case, with special character models to accomodate the "transparent" visors (and, as noted, the heads clip through the helmets).
...talking to players is like being a mall Santa. Everyone immediately wants to tell you all of the things they want, and you are absolutely powerless to deliver 99% of them.

1.) That'd be more work for Cryptic. So...
2.) No. Not unless player head sizes are normalized or Cryptic makes changes (See #1)
Though I do enjoy the tiny toons I see around wearing Omega armor and 'bobble-head' helmets.:D

they come in fancy colours, thats it, same stats as the free one from the 2800
they were a cosmetic option when the only EVA you could do was Boldly They Rode and Vulgata
for spoiler text use #1b1c1f
It would be nice if Cryptic fixed the EV suit issue for the KDF faction.
When I put on the Solanae EV suit just the helmet and flashlight appears. The upper body still wears the KDF uniform and the legs disappears.
