People hate the new green phasers

Solution: Make the new Undine Rep Weapons CRIMSON.
Reasoning:
- Aside from the red/black Antiproton, we don't have red weapons yet (think palette-swapped andorian phasers - red/white)
- Red phasers, while not bio-molecular, are canon.
Thoughts?

I do wish Cryptic was more imaginative with the energy weapons this time around...
Green is canon from voyager. If cryptic made them some other color people'd probably just complain about why they're not canon green.
the torpedo was green but i do not recall the phasers being disruptor green

Well yeah. My Gal-X shoots an orange beam from the main gun, but green beams out of the saucer? Looks wrong. Disruptors are green, phasers are orange.
As for your title, I call hogwash on that. Just because you don't like the color of the phasers from the 8472 rep, that doesn't mean everyone else hates the color as well.

We aren't allowed to complain about more than one thing?
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Voyager's Phasers have never been modified but one of the hand phasers was and it was still orange.

Shame that we can't customize our weapon colors within limits.
For example have phasers with standard orange with possible unlocks: TOS blue when picking up TOS beams, Andoria blue when picking up Andorian weapons and green with picking up rep phasers but make them interchangable in the ship tailor.
This is because we have multiple departments in Cryptic, and the lot of bugs that you are probably referring to have nothing to do with the FX department. So yes, we are concerned over the ugly color of a weapon.

That is a Connie from 2268, but since the 2270s:

Yes. Unfortunately there are no T5 Constitutions in the game and since TNG Starfleet phasers have been orange. And let's be completely honest, unlike with the Andorian blue phasers we get nothing out of green phasers. Many people complain about the phaser proc and if you want a ship with green energy weapons you already have green disruptors, and two green hues of plasma. Green phasers are visually incompatible with all the other phaser weapons so far (quad cannon, aux cannon, phaser lance, Kumari phaser wing cannons etc.). Sorry, but it's an incredibly stupid choice and one that makes me regret only testing the new kits on Tribble.
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
If I want my ship to fire green I'll pick one of those.
While it will look strangely funny to have green rep, blue wing, and the orange quad cannons with a red cutting beam on my kumari.... for the majority of phaser using ships = all star fleet green is a no go for me.
I could live with blue as a TOS reference, I could live with APish red = close enough... essentially anything but green. That just looks wrong.
There is. It's firing red phasers, that's corrected in the Remastered versions. blue phasers, red photons.

JJ-treks phasers were red...
It would be nice if they were "typical" phaser-orange, but since they haven't even fixed the disruptor point-defense console yet, I doubt they're evenr going to fix the colouring on something that was intended to be green.
But i agree with the OT. I dont want to have another green weapon. And in Voyager it was just the green torpedo. And Torpedos have nothing to do with beam weapons or are Voyagers Phasers blue when it fires Quantum Torpedoes?
We have the green disruptors, green Plasma (which are wrong because the Romulans in TNG/DS9 used disruptors with the same effect as the Klingons)
And it also not canon or logical that any ship can fire Biological weapons like the Undine Beams. THey would have to adapt a biological component to work with the technology of the Arrays and i dont see how that coud work.
But honestly i dont see why anyone ever would want to have Phsers on their ship. there ares o many better weapons available and they are, when from the fleet store, also stronger than any normal Mk XII weapon.
And why even call it a phaser? A tetryon beam is called tetryon because it carries tetryon particles and tetryon radiation so why not jus call this Bio-Molecular Beam? Not Phaser or disruptor or anything.
and make it red ;-). Red looks great and dangerous
JJVerse is like Vegas ... what happens in JJVerse, stays in JJVerse. Abrams made that decision when he decided that Kirk was born in space rather than Iowa.
Kirk never said he was born in Iowa, just that he is from Iowa which is still true in Star Trek 09, since he actually grew up there with his step dad.
Giving up is also not an option.
The Great Bird of the Galaxy granted Riverside, Iowa the right to call themselves the birthplace of James T. Kirk. That's good enough for me...

Who fkg cares what color were JJ phasers?? dont tell me you liked those movies?? lol. Well, tastes are like COLORS. But the movies of mr. jj have 0 trek content in em. Its not a really good example looool.
Giving up on what?? if they cant even make original weapons (because holy zzzz the new weapons are just like the old ones but with different color.. seriously, cryptic?), how are they going to use the correct colors for the weapons. My guess is that they do it randomly, and if people doesnt like it, bad luck.
