I always loved the color variety in crystals for the lasers in EVE. You could have a bank of rainbow cannons on the broadside of your ship. For my interest, what is the progression in colors in EVE?
Based on crystals rattati.

Shorter range = more damage. 'Advanced' crystals are modified versions of other crystals and fall into two categories, short range and long range (for each weapon, pulse lasers are short, beam lasers are long).
Scorch (long pulse) = Ultraviolet
Conflagrate (short pulse) = Xray
Gleam (short beam) = Multifrequency (white)
Aurora (long beam) = Radio
Otherwise colors are the same as crystals.

Purple to blue to green to yellow to orange to red to white
Lets the lazor guy know how much the damage dps increased, warns the guy getting lazooooored and looks awesome.
But its Base damage + (number of shots fired consecutively * [.85-1.10... or more, based on tier) = damage per shot. Heat isn't a factor.
And each of those crystals has a different profile even though they're almost all em and thermal damage they have different weightings of it, they also modify capacitor use and range... so would a laser that fired 80 shots drop from 110m optimal to 74m optimal to 37m optimal as it gains heat?
