federation hand Phaser appearance

Who else would like them to remove the blue Holo overlays on the hand Phasers and just have them appear plain like they appear at level 1?

I' d prefer a transmog system so we can make a weapon look however we want. a Phaser that looks like the withering pulsewave assault or a T-116 in a hand phaser.

They need to update the models for the base Starfleet weapons. They are looking pretty dated at this point. It's also baffling just how few canon Starfleet ground weapons we have in the game. You don't have access to the TNG era dustbuster or the later Type II phasers. We don't have the Nemesis boomerang phasers. We don't have any of the TNG era movie phaser rifles either.

The 2409 phasers should also look like ray guns again. We saw a transition away from the TNG era remote control nonsense back to proper weapons in Picard. The whole "can't look like a gun thing" was one of Gene Roddenberry's things. It's not very practical for a side arm.

At a minimum though, the holograms on the higher ranked base Starfleet phasers need to go. They are ridiculous and not cool at all.

Apparently, sir, we have had very similar brainwaves. This said, among the various weapon models currently in existence, I'd nominate tetryon as the most 'sensible'... on which note I wish there was some way for Starfleet operators to get their hands on the Hirogen blast rifle (some musings on this topic can be found here).
