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)

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 think Slowrider has some ideas to provide:

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.
