Currently most weapons have a yellow point when you can (possibly) fire them and a red cross when you can't. There are a couple of problems with this.
1. Slow firing weapons like plasma accelerators don't tell you when they are still between shots, only when they are reloading the clip/malfunctioning/disabled.
2. Mixed weapon loadouts can be confusing with all the reticules looking the same.
So I'd like to suggest that each trigger has a colour so that we know more easily where to point the different weapons - so the X wouldn't be a different colour. Then I'd like to see X for malfunctioning/disabled, * for an empty clip, + for loading from the clip and . only when pulling the trigger will fire a shot. Or some other set of symbols.
