The items equipped in the slots in the Visuals tab overrides the appearance of any matching item that is normally equipped.”
Basically, it’s a cosmetic system for ships that lets you customize ship part stats and appearance separately, limited to Deflectors, Impulse Engines and Shields.
Season 11.5 launches April 12th, complete with new featured episode Temporal Front.
