-Damask- Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 In case you guys forgot, black-red is a sith color... Black-Blue is the jedi color. I guess the same guy who assigns icons to new items/buffs/etc is now in charge of GSF lasers... Can we please get our signature color back?

Dustotepp Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 In the films, republic ships fire red beams and imperial ships fire green ones. Weird, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlrikFassbauer Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I think I remember that the missiles in AOTC had clear trails, meanwghile those from the Separatists had dark, smokey trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the movies the Pubbies always fired red lasers in space, and the Imperials always fired green. Please, cry about something you have a nuance of knowledge about?

stevetsuida Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) In Episode III Anakin and Obi Wan's starfighters shoot Tie-Fighter green lasers. In Episode IV, Tantive IV shot red blaster bolts while the Imperial cruiser fired white blaster bolts. Both exploded green for some reason. Onboard, both the Rebel and Imperial troopers fired red blaster bolts at each other. In Episode V Rebel snow speeders shot red-coloured blasters, as did the rebel ground forces, while Imperial walkers shot red blaster bolts and high above, Imperial tie-fighters shot green blaster bolts. In Episode IV and VI the Millennium falcon's guns shoot red blaster bolts. In none of the movies and in only one episode of the Clone Wars cartoon is a black lightsaber even shown, and it's wielded by the leader of the Mandalorian Death Watch (Season 2, episode 12) and the blade itself was stolen from a Jedi. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darksaber_(lightsaber) More to the point, black bolts with red glow aren't a colour at all. The whole point of the glow around sabres or blaster bolts was meant to simulate the effect of an over-exposed camera, to imply the blaster bolts and the lightsabers are very, very hot. Hotter than say, a red-hot stove element, or even magma. Edited December 11, 2013 by stevetsuida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetsuida Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Please, cry about something you have a nuance of knowledge about? Be nice, otherwise someone might point out that nuance isn't a measurement, and isn't used the way you just used it there. The word you were probably looking for was modicum. Also, you wouldn't need a question mark at the end of that sentence since you're not posing a question unless you preface it with could you, or in the future, mightn't you, if you're going for a stilted, dramatically anachronistic tone.

TylerAcalan Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 So stick to traditional colors yourself and quit q_q'ing about what other people select. It's not like they can realize their dreams of a fully customized personalized Snubfighter like they were hoping. Let them dream while they still can.

septicbrainfluid Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Black-Red Color Crystals are overpowerd! NERF them now Bioware or I'ma unsub. PS I want blue lasers and afterburners on my repub ships. Restricting colors is racist. PPS I've always hated the look of black lightsabers and lasers, but whatever. O think what actually bothers me is i don't know *** the black supposed to be made of? I agree about being nice, I'm not sticking up for the other fella or being facetious but in your post I think you meant word not world and antagonistic not anachronistic. anachronistic fits, he was reffering to the the word "mightn't", being that its so oldschool.

-Damask- Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 I guess you guys are too new to remember rakata and battlemaster weapons. The simple fact is that it was bioware who chose to give us Imps the Black-Red from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How esoteric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom_VI Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Imperials have always fired green in space - period, there are no exceptions to this rule. Rebel ships always fire red, and the prequel ships where a mix. Black-red wouldn't make sense for a imp as red is the pub's default. And I don't believe in allow factions to use same colors has each other b/c its very important to tell whether that arc of fire is tracking you or the target in front of you.

One of the reasons I find "wargames" (same faction fights) more difficult than opposite faction fights: until I start getting shot I can't tell whether those blaster shots are aimed at me or my target.

Soul_of_Flames Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The colors are limited per faction so you know who is friendly and who is foe. One thing I hate about mirror matches is that I can never tell if the red blots coming from behind me are targeted at me or the person I'm targeting. If they are green or blue then I know they are imperial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
