What can I put in the "Deflector" slot of my Visuals tab? I have found Impulse and Shields, but not any Deflectors.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

    We need to know the ship as what works on one ship doesn't on another. I use the Undine Deflector on some, Nukara on others. Aegis on another one. It all depends on the ship design and deflector position.

    Here is the list of all visual slot items, including deflectors

    What are you using now, what theme would you like to create?

    The reputation sets all have different visuals, from Tholian to Jem'Hadar to Reman and more. If you go to the wiki you can see pictures of many of them: https://sto.gamepedia.com/Reputation_System

    The Aegis set shows as red or blue depending on your faction, Fed or KDF, they can be crafted or bought from crafters on the exchange - https://sto.gamepedia.com/Aegis_Technological_Research

    Some lock boxes have vanity shields.

    Thanks *very* much for the fast assistance.

    I use the Temporal Raider on my character and have the Breen engine and Reman shield atm.

    Will check out the wiki and see what feels right thematically.

    If you're using the Breen engines and Reman shield visual, go with either the Lukari reputation deflector or the Competitive reputation deflector. Nothing else will fit with the coloration as well as either of those. The Competitive reputation deflector has the nice effect of looking like you're charging up a big attack with the front of your ship, with the lightning crackling in faint traces.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    For the time being, I have gone with the Lukari deflector.

    The effect seems a bit understated, but it kind of looks like it is in scanning mode.

    This video is from 2018 but it shows almost all the visuals (deflectors included) it only shows visual effects for a fed ship but I suppose it can work with other faction ships.

    Thanks for the link to that vid! With its help, I was able to combine the following:

    Deflector: Temporal Defense Initiative (multi-colored scan)
    Shield: Reman Prototype (green tile)
    Engine: Reman Prototype (green contrail)
