Please please PLEASE let us edit weapon colors individually

[Vasea Azure]

1000 time yes..its about time we take back the rainbow from the #### group.

 

[Starbreaker]

How about all the colours.

I want blue lasers and yellow multicannons. At the very least we should be able to assign different colors to different weapon types, if we can't have each one colored individually.

Yes this would be very nice indeed!

The thing that would make this hard for 3rd party app devs is the code interception in the program that’s in place to stop the cheater codes from running, any alterations would be seen as illegal and there fore not used or kicked from the game. I suspect if FD think this is worth the recode it will be due to the potential financial gain from making it a buyable option in the store. People will buy it I’m sure, afterall they buy skins and the existing cosmetics, so why would this be any different.

Dear FDEV, I have a suggestion for implementing this and potentially many other features further down the road: introduce submodule slots for all modules, then change the weapon colour modifier from a "global" option to a submodule that you can install in the colour slot of each individual weapon. I suggest this because having that support in the game would potentially enable so much more customization using the same mechamism, e.g., there could be purchasable weapon modifiers (like RNGineer effects but with known attributes instead of random), DSS could become an addition to the discovery scanner instead of its own module, or perhaps all scanners could be submodules of the sensors package, there could be a universal limpet controller with varying number of "program slots" for controlling different types of limpets, etc.

(Edit: Note that I'm not saying all of the above would need to be done, just that a "modifier slot" system would technically open up lots of possibilities for future features using a familiar interface.)

NO NO NO!

It would break my I-muh-shun, weapons are the colour they are because of reasons.

Only joking, nice idea OP. If you've bought a couple or more of various weapon colours it would be nice to assign them - wouldn't want this to detract from other perceived priorities though.

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).

Explosions and smoke in space isn't silly though.

You would get them (and do). If there wasn't fuel to continue feeding it, the explosion would be like the flash of a camera (pretty much how see it in Elite). Energy just rapidly expands in every direction because there's no gravity.

I'm not sure where the idea comes from that you can't get fire and explosions in space. Especially considering stars are burning and exploding all the time....along with many other things I image.

But yeah, on to the topic of the thread. This is something I'd love to see, another layer of personal customisation that I hope FDev considers implementing (along with an in game HUD/UI colour editor ).
