Ok, I know I have heard people having boosters that dont effect their visual representations of their ships. I would like to find some of these. Right now the boosters on my Heavy-95 make it look like it has mickey mouse ears on, I would rather not see them. Same thing for the missle rack. Why do they need to add those ugly racks to the wings, thir consussion launchers were in the fuselage. I digress.... What booster is it that doesn't show up on your ship? Also is there a missle launcher that doesn't show up as well?

I love the look of the missle launchers under the wings, only thing that makes that thing look tough!
For boosters, I could be wrong but I think there are only 2 visual apearences for boosters.
The first one is the milk can looking booster(all silver), the other one is the rectangle covered in steel grating (green).
Have not checked it on the Z-95, but on the X-wing the green cubish one covered in steel mesh sets on the wings like real thin looking vents, very sleek and stylish looking.
You can't craft the green cube'ish ones, there loot. But, if you drop the green one in the tool first before the RE, it comes out a green cube one.
For missles, so far my experience has been all the launchers look the same on it.
Side not though, when you launch from those, if you veiw it from the outside of the ship the missle actually luanches from the launcher, very very cool.

My ship has the "stealth" booster. There is no outward sign of me having a booster installed. I wish I could tell you how it got that way, but I have no idea.
The booster is a custom RE job that my GF did for me using the lvl 4 reward booster and the best lvl 4 boosters than I had in storage at the time. My guess is that there is one type of lvl 4 booster that has no external mesh defined for it. If you put one of these in the tool first for an RE job you will get the inviso-booster effect.
I would get one of each type of lvl 4 booster and see if you can find the one with the missing mesh by testing them in your ship one at a time. This will tell you the type of booster that give you the "no booster" look. Then make sure that one of these bugged boosters is in the RE tool first when yourreward booster is RE'd.
Getting extra reward boosters is easy. I have purchased quite a few. I think I have three in storage that are non RE'd, plus a few RE'd ones that I got dirt cheap. I am looking to find one of those 138 booster consumption parts for my next RE job.
Looting cool parts for RE is almost as much fun as flying.

I have one of these boosters too, and it is also based upon the RE level 4 booster with a reward in the mix. Mine also has no sound, which can be a problem because I use sound to key me sometimes in a dog fight, I don't always have time to take my eye off the target and look at my speed indicator.
