Instead of different looking units per faction, as has been talked about alot. Why not have different colored bullets and lasers for each faction? Kind of like star wars, they use the same weapons just ones green and the other red. Thoughts?
Interesting idea but I agree with @KNight that it would get messy with many factions. Color schemes and other visual changes would probably work better.
as said before .. rather modstuff then devstuff .. also a bit of personal preference weither people like a rainbow battlefield or not ... i rather do not honestly ...
I like this idea. The differences could extend to the nanolathing process as well. Heck, why not add it as a game setting. You can customize the look of your army by specifying color schemes for the projectiles and visual effects. It could be done by unit, structure, or simply on a team wide basis.
I like the idea - I think some weapons, and nanolathing, should have your own team colours. As there aren't strict "factions" in the game, it's symmetrical, I don't really see why some weapons couldn't use your primary team colour, others your secondary team colour. Clearly missiles, artillery and cannons would fire normally. But for energy weapons I don't see the problem. It would be pretty subtle, unless you're in a 10 player FFA.
