Please please PLEASE let us edit weapon colors individually
Available on the Frontier store, yup, you read that correctly, it's just one of the items I refuse to purchase, I'll purchase other stuff, but paying to change the color of a beam, no way!
I love that idea but would love it even more if we could indeed assing individual colors to each hardpoint so I could anihilate my enemies with a rainbow of death. Thats something that I loved to do back in Eve, fitting each of my abaddons laserturrets with a different frequency crystal so it really looked like you where killing stuff with rainbows(yes it was ineffective due to the different optimal ranges but it was fun notheless).

He's not asking about that. He's asking for the ability to change individual or groups of weapons by color. Like having green lasers and purple multicannons. Currently, you can only have one color for all weapons.
I want blue multicannons and purple lasers. 
I want my lasers and multicannons to cycle each colour per shot.

Even better.
Yeah, I'd like this. It's the reason I haven't bought any weapon colors. I want my lasers to be colored, but I don't want my cannon smoke and explosions to be colored (because that's just silly -- I mean, sillier than smoke and explosions in space already is).

With engineers it is entirely possible to have unique colors on each gun. Fdev need to just actually set it up for customization. The framework is there.
I would like to have this also, obviously it's only cosmetic, but shouldn't be too difficult to set up. The only data shared of the visual elements between server and player is locational and numbers saying colour and power etc, so allowing the system to say red numbers for beams and blue numbers for autocannons would tell other players games to paint the picture correctly. It's not like it's a complete character model being sent over.
I want all of my weapons to randomly cycle through all colors of the spectrum and instead of the "pew-pew" or "daka-daka" I want the sounds of my weapons to be dubstep and speed metal and... Ok I'm sorry, its late, I'm tired, and maybe I have had a few too many.
Maybe it's a third party app?
they did say at the expo that some of the API's were available.
DISCO DEATH - ENGAGE!
NYAN CAT DRIVE - ENGAGE!
NYAN CAT DRIVE - ENGAGE!
Highly doubtful it's a third party app, given that at present the orange malaise is hard coded into the UI. They need to rewrite the UI to allow individual colors in the various elements. Once that's done, at most it would require editing a config file. The API wouldn't be needed for something of that nature.
