Some Ideas I had for Weapon colours:
1. A beam that varies in colour going red - yellow - green - blue -purple - red all colours of the rainbow
2. An option that makes your laser/projectile look like the black lightsaber in the game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. It is black on the inside and glowing white.
If you dont know how it looks honestly please google it, it would look awesome on our weapons. this could also be a series, putting the outside glow in different colours like black and red/green/blue..., basically all the colours we already have.
Some Thoughts
I always wished, you could put different colours to different weapons. I guess this has already been requested but i just dont see a reason why not.
I think it could be handled like the fire groups, but with colour groups. Basically you can put like three colours on your ship and can asign different weapons to different groups onboard.
Second; in my opinion its a pity that only player ships use these customizations. i always feel a bit sad when i enter a conflict zone and everything is looking the same. Weapon colours could be faction associated like police ships using red, fed military green, imp military blue and random for the usual encounters.
I think the reason for Frontier not to do this is for Cmdrs who don't want to spend extra money not to feel like the grey mouse in a colourful universe and to be forced to buy stuff that every npc has for real money. This thought would be understandable but for every one that does use this its like having the only red car on the world while every one elses is grey.
Maybe there could ba a compromise like giving only a certain percentage colours or just deadly and elite npcs? it would make sense for veterans to put customization on their ships. Same goes for paintjobs and also shipkits (and engines of course). Espacially the military and vibrant paintjobs should be used more frequently. And i would love to blow up a pirate anaconda with the matching paintjob and a random raider ship kit
A second solution would be to be able to get one or two random colours through achievements or special missions.
Third and offtopic. i'd like to be able to choose a "realistic" option in the audio controls. you dont hear your enemies or when your weapons hit them, but when they hit you.. you know what i mean.
well fellow Cmdrs (and maybe Developers) thats it. please share your thoughts, i really would like to hear what you think about these.
Also sry for my english, it's not my first language.
