Laser colors

[SpeakeasyGamer]

An idea one of my friends came up with...

Allow us to choose different colors for our lasers. That would allow us to see specific friends from a long distance away and allow our ships to be a little more unique.

You could also expand it to different color lasers do different damage, cost more, etc, but I think keeping it a basic choice would be best so we wouldn't all end up with the same, "best" color.

Good day,

Slight thread resurrection, but it says what I wanted to say. I'm getting a little bored of all the lasers being that faded orange-red colour.

It could just be as simple as another option; you click the hardpoint that has your laser, and along with the buy/sell/swap options, you'd have a variant option, too. That way, you could set it up so that every laser you have fires one specific shade of blue, or one laser fires green, another fires purple. Whatever floats your boat. A simple list of set options would probably be the best way to go about it.

I liked in the previous two games how lasers were identified by colour for their type.

Or just add a new option in the livery tab.

I support this.

Laser colours would vary depending on the frequency of the light used. So the built in ability to change the frequency of your lasers would be cool.

This would be a nice addition to the livery tab. The same could also be done to engine trails. My Vulture looks awesome with the vibrant red paint, but its blue engines don't go too well with that. Would be better if i could change them to white or purple... I'm not really a fan of the idea that the colors could affect performance, they should be purely cosmetic. All of this could be itemshop stuff, just like the paint jobs.

It would be great to have different coloured lasers. Make them different colours depending on the power (although railguns are blue-white so you'd have to be careful pulse lasers aren't confused with them).

Having different engine types with different colour flames/trails would also be great.

Didn't want to repost this suggestion so posting in this one. Really would like to see some sort of customization for laser colors whether it becomes part of the HUD customization that is local to the user or something that can be paid for through some sort of livery as mentioned above. I just want the option.

You'll be glad to know that Season 2 will see lasers of different colors as part of the new crafting system, then.

Awesome! Can't wait! What's funny is I just saw a post on Reddit about colored lasers which made me recall making this post. This is the first time I've been back since the original post. Nice to see other's agreed about wanting it!

I actually think it would have made more sense for the color of the laser to be a result of its size, composition or other parameters. In such a case, the color of the laser would be a good way for someone to determine what kind of firepower they're fighting.
