Wait, what?!! Mind Blown - Visuals

I haven’t been a very dedicated user of visuals. Every now and then I get an interesting vanity shield to try out but it never occurred to me to play around very seriously with engines, etc.

Today I was “scrue-ing” (<- really, they edit that word?!) around and fit a Breen impulse and shield to visual slots while fitting other gear to the space set of my KDF Destroyer. Then it hit me: Highlighted Breen gear in visuals registered 2/4 on the set? Sure enough, the equipped space set still held its 2/4 value on the menu in addition to the Breen visual 2-set.

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT:

This entire time, I could’ve fit... say a 2, 3, or 4-set to my space set while ALSO fitting a 2 or 3-set to my visual and getting the set benefits of BOTH the equipped Space set AND the Visual set?!?!

    Items placed in the Visual's slots do not provide any stat or set item bonuses.

    If it indicates you're getting a set item bonus from items in the Visual Slot, that is a tool tip bug. If you check your actual stats, you will find that no bonus is actually being applied.

    They're purely visual.
    Insert witty signature line here.
