White/Black/Grey power colors...

navar

I'm sure there was a reason for this, because those seem to be the only colors not in the selection of choices for power colors. Anyone know why white black and grey were not added in as a choice?

I can't remember exactly which dev who's said it in the past (was really some time ago), but he did say that it isn't possible to do so with this game's graphical engine without them looking really bad.

Okay, thanks. I figured there had to be a reason for it. I wonder if anything has changed since then or if that is still the case today.

Powers with black/white would be invisible.
If you happen to have a costume piece, like Holo Hex pieces, PSI parts or Gadroon bracer shields, choose black in the "Holo" pieces Glow option and see what happens.

I suspect they could have gotten closer than the pale aqua and navy we end up using, though. On the other hand, that's one of those suspicions on the level of like when people say "Oh, it shouldn't be too hard." I really don't know at all.

I've always wondered why we can have dark blue but not a dark green. Need that color option for the new Dryad costume set :biggrin:

Dark Aura and Darkspeed are hard-coded. They can never be any other color. I'm not in the mood to dig out Tumerboy's explanation some time back of exactly why the colors in the game work the way they do - just know that an environmental artist for the game (who's currently working on STO, where he uses "Tacofangs" as his handle) explained to everyone's satisfaction at the time that we can't have white power colors or black power colors.
