  1. With regards to the lasers that we shoot would it not make a lot more sense to have just one standard colour for all lasers I.E. red, and then have the colour change depending on what minerals you are using?

    So somebody using prom on the lasers would shoot orange and somebody using sep on the lasers would shoot purple!

    Not only does this make perfect sense but it also helps the player to realise when they have run out of prom or sep as the lasers will revert back to the standard colour(red)

  2. Laser colors are associated to the TYPE being fired, Red=X1, Blue=X2, Green=X3, White=X4/RSB and can be seen most when all lasers on ship are LF-3 (and I believe all LF-4 equipped, I have seen all LF-4 on ship does not follow this rule). So modifying these colors for ROCK boosts might be okay but I do not agree with ALL Lasers being RED.

    i think they should make all lf4s shoot gold or yellow (like lf3s shoot blue) . be kinda cool and still follow the cycle. now your idea isnt totally bad, maybe that could be the outline? so full lf4s shooting promi would be yellow/gold shooting with an orange outline, or purple outline with sep. your idea isnt bad but itd be better as an addition than a replacement

    I'd like the idea more if the standard color of the lasers reflected the company you're in.

    nice, i would say it could help players to know when attack, i.e that enemy is shooting purple (using seprom) i can hit the same without sep (u say); ie2 that enemy is shooting red (without upgrade) and he hit more than i with sep (u say). then u can realize if u are able to defend yourself back or just run away.
    just one idea :V

    this could be used with @DEXTER-MORGAN said, ie mmo user are going to shoot red, eic users are going to shoot blue and vru users are going to shoot green; but if u upgrade with resources the lasers are going to change the color as mentioned above.. (orange with prom and purple with sep)
    ^_^

    i would love this if everybody could see it and not just u
