Personally I wish we could apply colors to weapons rather than ships. I'd like green lasers and red MC tracer rounds, for example. Turning EVERYTHING green actually makes the visual effects more boring than vanilla, IMO.

You can kind of do that already. Scrambled Spectrum pulse lasers are a nice blue, Incendiary MCs have red tracers, and Corrosive MCs have green tracers... but as for those wanting a multi-coloured laser light show... that might be nauseating (for me). I just spent my Xmas Arx bonus on purple weapons and love the extra damage bonus they give.

I will, Her name is Commander Peppermint Barnstorm.

She is in the starting Sidewinder and is in the process of modifying it. The hull will be the starting one on loan. The plan is to take it as far as possible.

Triple Elite is Possible in Just the starting Sidewinder - d8veh has done it... i'm in the progress of trying it (see below)

Mind you it seems she's already shot somthing as she's part way through harmless so I guess that's busted already but it would be nice for her to never progress beyond harmless. But perhaps I should just bite the bullet so to speak ( just make sure it's not an incendiary round ).

One thing you will find is that credits are irrelevant.. as you are not buying ships... i currently have 1.6bn with nothing to spend them on :ROFLMAO:

I actually have used SEs for the purpose of color. Thermal Vent is a nice effect, but I love the Star Trek orange phaser color even more! My point is that I haven't spent any Arx on weapon colors since switching to PC because while I like purple lasers, I don't like purple MCs, yet we have no choice but to apply a cosmetic color to all or none of the weapons.

At the very least, give us a per-weapon color switch, so that I can turn a single color on or off (on for lasers, off for MCs). That would make more sense than the current color switch in the module panel - what's the point of applying a color in the Livery and yet turning it completely off in the module section? Put that switch in the individual weapon details screen instead.

It's not so much about the Elites but unlocking the Engineers. I need to unlock Selene Jean to get the armour upgrades but to do that I need to unlock Tod The Blaster McQuinn which requires combat vouchers. So, I'm modifying hte game plan. Triple Elite in the StartWinder. Eventually.

Welcome Miss Barnstorm
Now Newt probably tried to warn you, and you probably thought she was exaggerating, but I feel obliged to add, the Forums are full of Pirates, Smugglers, and other assorted Scoundrels, me included. They're pretty much the ones you want to go to for advice, the rest are a bunch smiling assassins and two faced liars.

One of the scoundrels i just mentioned @Bigmaec looking in your direction, can probably answer this: If you are in a wing, or multi-crew do you get credit for the bounties?
Perhaps miss Barnstorm can get her vouchers that way and still not dirty-up her purple lasers ?

I am currently mining 500 tons of mineral in a Startwinder to appease Selene Jean so that I can have my Heavy Duty and Deep Plated Lightweight Bulkheads. I've got the Frameshift Drive maxed out. I've started a new thread. My Journey
