Hey fellow pilots,
I have a RE'ed lvl 8 booster that when I equip on any of my ships, it does not show the image of the booster on the ship. But other than not showing the image of it, works just fine. I was wondering if any one else has encounter a simalar problem with a part not showing. If you did have this problem, where you able to get it fixed? Thanks much in advance for any replies.

Submit a Graphics bug with the name of the Booster. The "Variation of" name, not the name you or the shipwright gave it. Also submit which ship types you have tried it on.
The problem with your booster won't get fixed until it's fixed system wide, so /bug it, post on the Live Issues thread, etc.

Have you tried landing and restarting SWG? I sometimes find my ships dont look right when IO put a new component on until I relog.
I once had a Y-wing with an engine bug. Now that looked wierd!

I noticed that on my B-wing some boosters show and some don't . I just figured it was the way the boosters atached, and was happy it did not show thought it looked funy on it. But, that was just me. Now I do find it starnage that some booster don't make sound. Agin never thought twice about it if it works agin that is just me.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Well I just submitted a bug report. 
For those who are curious, the booster is a variation of "Koensayr Charged Advanced Booster". And I have log on and off many times since getting the booster and even tried trading and it to a guildmate and getting it back with no luck. 
Oh well, I'll just have to be content with my invisible booster.

Some boosters definately don't have a graphic. When you RE a component, the graphic used is determined by the first item dropped into the RE tool. Had you used that booster previously? If it didn't have a graphic, your REed booster won't either. I tihnk this is working as intended, just make sure the item with the graphic you want gets plopped in the RE tool first.

Yeah, some components don't have graphics. I remember putting an engine on my old Dune Lizard and Kimogila and the engine didn't show up, so it looked like half of the ship as missing. It was quite funny to be flying around space with no engine or engine sound.

Several loot parts have no graphics. Its not only boosters. Its engines and weapons to that will end up with no graphic. They work, but well, looks a bit odd though.
/bug them when you see them and give details so it can be easily fixed by the devs. Or at least less time for them to find the dang bugs.

Hmm, invisible weapons/engines definitely don't sound right. I assumed that boosters were a small thing and minor enough that they didn't all have graphics, but maybe it is a bug.

Just to be clear, this is a bug with the chassis involved, not just a given part. You need to report the part and the ship it doesn't appear in as well.
My Gyrhil 72looks perfectly fine in a Rhix, but not in my Krayt. Each ship has a table with image assignments and information, and you need to make it clear the Part X doesn't work in ship Y so the table can be fixed.
