Klingons: The Red Faction

So, the UI for the Klingon faction looks about right. Sharp angles, red and orangish color scheme, looks close enough for my taste.

But you know, devs? Not EVERYTHING about the Klingons needs to be RED. For instance, their transporter effects. Why are their transporter beams red? Every time we ever saw them in use in the shows and movies they were Gold in color.

Their warp-out starburst is Red too. What's up with that?! Is there some reason their jump-to-warp starburst can't be white like everybody else's?

Also, sector space? Why are all the stars red?!

Good lord, guys. Red red red red red! Too much red!

WTB visual diversity!

    I like it myself it's a vast relief to my eyes over all the eye searing blue, which kept me away from playing FED for ages. :)

    It's only now that I can at least choose the Klingon Classic color scheme that I have even dusted off my single blue faction character a couple times recently.

    My only complaint with the UI is that now allies are marked in a shade of blue which is just <shudder> wrong on so many levels, not to mention fatiguing for the eyes.

    I wish we had an optional color pallet to pick from and change that. The change might have helped people who were having trouble with the old ally/enemy color scheme but the current colors are just awful IMO.

    To each his own, as they say. ;)

    This looks pretty (overall) reddish to me, granted there are lots of orange and gold.

    Actually klingon transporters have always been a red or fire red color, not "gold".

    Well if your wanting visual varity, how bout the fact that Klingons don't get to show their armor like the feds do. That to me is more annoying then all the red...
