I was hoping your post was to add and OFF switch to the visuals
The visuals, except for the drone dome which (like the DSC forcefields) is a little too opaque, are not that bad. The screen-blanking flashes and clouds some other gear makes is often much worse than the Kuumaarke set visuals, drone dome included.
i just want to see my captain, not a pink glow stick
True, that can be annoying at times, though it is also a good callback to TAS era life-support belts. I just look at them as being over-driven versions of the personal forcefields and therefore brighter than the low-key aura the LSBs produced or the lack of any visual effect of the STO-era standard defensive fields.
I would not mind the TAS Aura look over the detail obscuring mess they have now. that's also the solution to most all the VFX spam, an aura/outline of the affected area instead of opaque space twisters
