Hey all!

It seems like there are now countless amounts of sets and set pieces. What I am curious about is which ones change the appearance of your vessel. Is there a definitive list?

    Usually the shields are responsible for the changes to the ships hull visual appearance and Nacelle color.

    No... uh.

    What sets exactly. Sorry if that was unclear.

    All of the Reputation set shields so along with the Reman shield from one of the Reman FE missions. I don't recall which one. Other than shields, I believe the Breen Engine gives you a sparkle from your Impulse Engines as well.

    All Reputation system Shields with exception of the Solinae Set have Visuals associated to them. Additionally Most of the Engines will change your impulse trail color or style; some of the Deflectors give you a pulsing wave of some kind coming off them; and each piece of the Assimilated Borg set has a separate visual that requires it.

    Here are the ones I know

    Counter Command - Adds black hex patterned armor patched to hull. Nacelles turn green. Impulse trails become green with a vaporous type effect to them.

    Breen - Hull is completely changed to the style of a Breen vessel. Nacelles and lights all turn yellow. Impulse trails become blue and wispy like freezer exhaust.

    Dyson - Turns hull white. Nacelles and lights become purple.

    Jem'hadar - Hull is given a grey color with some detail work to look like a Jem'hadar ship. Impulse trails become purple.

    Omega - Adds some lines of detail to the hull like reinforced armor. Impulse trails look much like Breen set ones but red.

    Nukara - (my personal favorite) Hull becomes a matte grey color covered in a pattern to make it look like plates of heavy armor. Lights turn yellow and blue mix. Impulse trails become yellow.

    MACO - Small hex pattern added to hull.

    Assimilated - Hull is patched with Borg tech regions making the ship look much like the partially assimilated Voyager from the series. Engine adds a small exhaust pipe-like attachment to rear of ship. Deflector adds a big spikey Borg deflector over the normal array. Console adds small Borg nodules placed over the hull that glow green.

    MACO - Small hex pattern added to hull.

    The MACO shield makes the hull flash a faint iridescent blue when light reflects on it, and any color highlights turn into a very silver-white color with a metallic finish. The impulse trails from the nacelles turn teal-ish, and are blue from the impulse manifolds. The deflector emits a hex-patterned blue cone that occasionally pulses outwards.
