However in EVE they are multi-coloured. |

Correct. The charged shot wouldn't change the color of the laser however, the frequency crystal determines the color of a laser.
Below are the types of frequency crystals, and how they would likely affect a weapon's output if they were added to the game:
Invisible(Radio) - Touches Everything, but Gently
135%Shield/ 65% Armor Damage
_________________________________________________
Red(Infrared) - Very Long Range, Very Low Damage
130% Shield/ 70% Armor Damage
_________________________________________________
Orange(Microwave) - Long Range' Low Damage
125% Shield/ 75% Armor Damage
_________________________________________________
Yellow(Standar) - Medium Range, Medium Damage
120% Shield/ 80% Armor Damage
_________________________________________________
Green(X-Ray) - Short Range, High Damage
115% Shield/ 85% Armor Damage
_________________________________________________
Blue(Gamma) - Very Short Range, Very High Damage
110% Shield/ 90% Armor Damage
_________________________________________________
Violet(Ultaviolet) - Insanely Short Range, Insanely High Damage
105% Shield/ 95% Armor Damage
_________________________________________________
White(Multifequency) - Only works at Point Blank, but does Stupid Damage
100% Shield/ 100% Armor Damage
The current Laser weapons in Dust seem to use Standard Frequency Crystals.

Well lasers work via light frequency
Red being the slowest and least useful
Blue being the medium
Green would be the fastest/strongest wave of light
White is just a mix of the 3
But if we are changing colours get rid of the damned black of the scramber rifle. I want ma gold and blood red, or gold and olive gold |

As it is neither me nor my enemies know the difference....
You were expecting a rational response? Here?
When the "roll" mechanic was introduced to Dropships I posted a suggestion that CCP add a Flight Stick option. At the time pitch and roll controls were on two separate joy sticks. Truly bizarre. After making the suggestion people were jumping down my throat calling it "unrealistic" or "wanting to be catered too."
I am in total sympathy with those who blame the community. When we chose to be jerks there are consequences.
Getting back on the main topic. A different color for charged shots would be cool. I'd be worried that it would somehow unintentionally break the weapon. To be honest it is much safer to do nothing. |

So a scout with a profile dampener would be immune to advanced scanners and make it easier for them and there limited slots to be immune to scanning
You are comparing Directed energy weapons to laser pointers, they are similar, but DEWs aren't restricted to visible light frequencies. The ones we use are using yellow visible light as their source of damage, but with the addition of frequency crystals, we will be able to shoot Concentrated Gamma Radiation or Microwaves. |

Well itd be a tad boring/annoying if they didnt shoot on the visible light spectrum. then again we have advanced helmets that might show that light
The glory of sci-fi
Do do agree with ammo types. My laser rifle will match a snipers. Phased plasma HMG. Antimatter AR's. |

I agree that scouts need a buff but I am against any cosmetic changes that will get our ADHD devs off track yet again on side projects rather than working on actual new content and game modes. |
