Ship visuals

How exactly do the ship visuals work? My current ship is using a full set of delta alliance gear and as a result, my ship looks like its covered in clay. I tried slotting in gear under the visual tab, but I can never add anything into the slots. Am I missing something?

I am also playing this on the xbox one.

    While I can't help with the specfics, I play on PC, I might be able to shed some light on things.
    Most (but not all) set ship gear has specal visuals that change the look of your ship.
    The Counter-Command Deflector Array emmits a green cone on light/energy from your deflector,
    the Sol Defense Impulse Engines spew a stream of fire from your impulse engines,
    and shields generally change the look of your ships hull, like the brownish clay from the delta set.
    I don't know where it would be on the Xbox, but on PC, right clicking on the equiped item will bring up a small menu that you can disable/enable ship visuals.

    The Visual tab is for using the look of shield A, while equiping shield B.

    ^ all correct. I'll add to this:
    The Visual tab is for using the look of shield A, while equiping shield B.

    ... and it will only allow you to slot pieces that actually have a visual. So a generic shield or deflector can't be slotted there since they have no affect on the skin or deflector effects. And for some sets the shield might have a visual but the engine might not.

    How do you obtain the "Counter-command" deflector?
