Reman shields (not a bug, but...)

Reman shields have gone from my favourite in the game, to being the worst. Seriously, put some on, and go into Solanae Dyson Sphere. Or Terran Battlezone. Your ship becomes almost invisible. They have become so reflective that you need welding goggles just to look at them.

Can we tone them down please?

They are supposed to be glossy black, with glowing honeycomb. Reflective like latex, or leather, with small specular spot. At the moment the reflection slider was 100% instead of 10%, and its ridiculously hideous.

(its been like this for months and months, and every patch thursday, I hope it will go back to normal, but nope....)

Devs pleeeeease, won't someone think of the Reman's eyes?? they don't like bright things... :p

i'm still hoping that one day a rep set will come out with jet-black shields. no patterns, decorations, greebles or blinky lights. just black (with maybe a tiny tiny 1% specular)

    Oh thank Zeus that I'm not the only one who hates the Reman Shield revamp.
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
