Favorite Shield Visual

tousseautousseau Member Posts: 1,484 Arc User
edited April 2016 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
With the the new appearance functionalty just around the corner for our ships, it has gotten me taking a new look at my ships.

So go ahead and spill it... What visual(s) are your favorites and why?

For myself, I have three basically... Dyson Rep, Reman, and the MACO.
The MACO, in particular. Of them all, I find the MACO to be the most versatile as it isn't a solid covering... Allowing you to still see the textures below it.

    The pearly white Dyson set is my favorite. Really happy w/ the visuals thing coming out.
    I also like the engines of the Sol Set, but the stats are not the greatest. But next week all my ships can have the red flaming impulses!

    Recently i've been having a mot of fun transferring my characters to tribble, and buying all the visual shields for 'free' to see what's worth grinding for once it goes live.

    For example, i found the Counter Command shield looks really good on almost any Romulan ship. And Aegis is still very nice on almost everything else :)

    The Jem'hadar shields allow me to live out my fantasy of being a genetically engineered killing machine that is addicted to cocaine ketracel white.

    The Founders are most pleased. Most pleased indeed.

    As pointed out here, this system does open the possibility of cheaper, vanity-slot-only versions of the things...

    White Dyson (it makes ANY ship look better), and the Ageis (those glowing lines make any ship look better).

    I just wish I had a comprehensive gallery of the different items and the visual they provide. I have yet to find it all through the wiki.​​

    My favorite is the Klingon Honor Guard space shield. The black hull with yellow bussard collectors, etc. looks really nice. I can't wait to finally use the visual again!

    Shields - Borg, Breen. No STO:Tron edition for me.
    Deflector - The only visual I've ever liked was the Borg piece, and even then it only looks right to me on the Rezreth. No glowy cones for me.
    Impulse - I've yet to find one I actually liked. I hate the ones with exhaust trails.

    Terran and Delta shields. Sol engines. Nukara deflector.​​

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Only when shined on with a light source. I wish I could have that look on many ships at all times.

    Dyson - so future-looking, and the MACO awesome reticulated pattern.
