    Why?
    1. Because kickstarter.
    2. Because who wouldn't want them? Like, seriously. You'd have to be insane not to.*
    3. Because... why not?
    4. Because I've already done all of the work for you.**

    Uber pls.

    *We don't actually think that you'd be insane not to, just a little weird.
    **This post is not in any way an advertisement for awesome projectiles and any appearances of this are coincidental.

    But it isnt a laser, for the same reason that the "laser blasters" in star wars also are not lasers.
    Short independently cut beams of plasma flying towards the enemy in sequence is not a laser.
    When will sci-fi learn? Never, because of the lazorz-iz-kool syndrome.

    And there is no sound in vacuum, but all spess sheeps do their buzzing. Who would like to have silent starwas spess battles? Which mostly look like mix of naval battles (destroyers and bigger sheeps) with some dogfights in atmosphere for fighters. Same goes for games they need to be fun and simulate real things only if that does not ruins fun.

    AND: WE DEMAND TEAM COLOLED LOLZORS!

    Am I the only one who doesn't like to have all graphics team coloured... I only like the Comm death but I dislike everything else. It's awesome to have those mods but I hate it to be vanilla like team Lathe colour.

    Educating the world, one word at a time. That's how I roll.
    A "lazor" is not cool, and has never been cool. Nor is it a thing. That's a blaster you're talking about, or plasma weaponry, or something. The term "lazor" only came about from those l33tspeak douchebags who thought it was "rely cool" about 12 years ago. It ain't cool now.

    I personally don't use the team landing coloured mod, since I don't really like the effect itself ;)

    Last time I checked, the weapons in Star Wars were referred to as "blastsers" not "lasors"

    I mean no insult to you Freelancer ^^ You give people the choice to enable graphics they like better with all the team colour stuff. It's exactly what mods are for. What I don't like is that it is forced on me with team lathe colour for now. I am of the opinion the game should stay vanilla in that regard. The implementation of team lathe colour as vanilla is a step backwards because it deffiniatly does not help the readability if fabbers are actually working or not on certain colours. If you choose to have it less readable but on your team colour than so be it. Just don't force it on people.

    Btw.. What is the mod called to reverse it to the original green? I can not find it but heard that it exists.

    You have a solid point when it comes to the Fabbers Lathing color, that was extremely confusing when I first saw it, & downright irritating with certain team colors.

    However, I'd prefer to see who is firing the damned lasor based on team color alone.

    I don't agree, keep it this way and make sure it is moddable so that Freelancer can work his magic. Best of both worlds.
