New weapon animation color schemes

Post by rannl »

Wanted to ask the help of the collected minds.
What colors would you like to see on weapons (possibly drones/ships as well).
Included are two examples from CEs dual laser and bio beam:

Very neat concept! The weapons look very nice! But i'm not sure what application re-textured weapons would have... maybe they could be used for the procedural weapons generator being created? (hint hint)
art and coding tutorials wanted, pm if you have some good ones please!Image

Does anyone have a suggestion for weapon/drone/ship color schemes?

Maybe applying the federation/rebel/pirate ship color schemes to the weapons and drones, as well?

I once re-colored a beam drone like this:

It got this response: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 584#p64507

I think Slowrider has some ideas to provide:

http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic. ... &start=220

What are the effects on those weapons?

In my opinion crew dmg+ should have "sickly" colors for radiation and fire+ weapons should be red. Just some suggestions.
