Chromodynamic Armor?

So since the Armor visuals are gone, how come the Chromodynamic Armor did not have its visuals ported to the tailor?
Should be added and unlocked for those that have it quite frankly, since you cant turn them back on.

Please fix this.

    How about making this armour useful past level 2?

    Have it upgrade automatically or via access/unlock via the Veteran Reward System?

    Same with the little console that pew pews mines and slow moving torpedoes..Or, anything else that gets obsoleted. This game should get better with time: Give them their usefulness back, hm Cryptic?

    The Point Defense console? I got that cross-faction for my KDF and slapped that onto my Mirror Vo'Quv. Works like a charm.

    I have said it before, I shall say it again: Combine it with the other console turret, fill all eight weapon slots on a ship with turrets and have a machine-gunny good time. :D

    It had a unique "chrome" armor texture effect.

    Yes, a Console Slot, imho it's not worth a console slot past level 2....Now if they rebooted it as a device and beefed it up on par with say the universal console version and made it FREE via the Veterans Reward Unlock and upgraded it in Tiers every few months then Maybe it'd be USEFUL again at level 50?

    To be honest Pre-Order items were not much more than starters novelty items.
    The most special and unique thing about the Chromodynamic Armor was its cosmetic appeal, and now that is lost.

    Really, the only useful Digital Download/Collector item worth anything after level 11 is the Red Matter Capacitor.

    The armor looks cool, but is useless after you've had a chance to play the game a short time. Same thing with the TR-116 Rifle and the Automated Defense Turret (which should have 2 or 3 versions now with its energy type matching which faction the Captain belongs to).

    Even with Plasma weapon boosts, the ADT still lags behind a normal turret (though, cloakers hate it as it can see and fire at them within 3Km).

    I just wonder when the Agreements with the various companies (Target, Amazon, and whoever else) will run out as I know we'll see these items hit the C-Store shortly afterwards.

    The Red Matter Capacitor isn't a pre-order item though, which is why its actually really good.

    But yeah, Cryptic.
    I would as an owner of the Chromodynamic Armor like to have access to its visuals in the tailor please.

    I know some of the new options have a chrome like quality, and that pattern looks familiar. If it isn't one of the options, it should be added. Of course, I'd be for more options being added just on principle.

    There are several "shiny" armors, but none of them being the unique shimmering pattern/effect that the Chromodynamic has.

    This sounds like what has happened with the Lobi Jem'Hadar set armour what came with a unique outfit when worn, that's now gone also

    I was referring to the one that was put in a lockbox that normally comes off the Thunderchild class. 6 Beam arrays for 360 coverage due to low turn rate, and if anything gets close... PD basically adds another weapon for a few seconds for more damage, even more against frigates and small craft.

    Methinks Cryptic made a few oopsies with the new tailor...

    I'm strangely enough hoping for some more restriction removals like with off duty wear being able to be combined with uniform pieces etc. I'd love to use some merc pieces with uniform pieces.

    They were informed about this weeks ago during Tribble testing.

    I have been looking all over for this. It's cost Lobi so you would think you would get the visual in the tailor. PLEASE FIX

    I'd love a costume unlock with the Chromodynamic Armor.
    You're right. The work here is very important.

    No, some armors are still able to do this. Although, I've also learned that it doesn't work for them all. So, they do need to give the "Enable Visuals" option back to ALL armors.

    Ummm, it's all still there ... All of the "old" armours are available as a costume options, even the "chrome" ones ... BTW it looks hilarious seeing a Klingon running around in that skin tight armor!

    No, the Chromodynamic Armor is unique, and is not currently available.
