    I half expect my Bridge Officers to look around anxiously and ask "... what kind of impact, ma'am?"

    Seriously......when I was playing a lot a week or so ago this wasnt possible to my knowledge. Is this on Tribble atm or is it on the Holodeck too? How is it possible?

    Not that I really am going to use it.......looks awful to me. Just saying. :(

    ships will reflect the colors around it.

    the ship is not pink it just looks pink becouse of the pink nebula's around it.

    Hull type reaction with system lighting? not really pink just looks that way because of the red hue and light from the background.

    agree that it could be done better.

    Its more then likely a glow from a Nebula , Gas cloud , Star or planet off a white or gray paint on the ship .

    Doesn't one of those skills like Ramming Speed turn your ship pink for a few moments?

    ...This is the colour effect for Brace for Impact and it's been in the game for as long as I can remember.

    I get this whenever I use the ability brace for impact.
    with bloom, it's *quite* flamboyant.

    edit: fixed url.

    the question now is are you the impactor, or the impactee?

    I always did picture the Galaxy as dayglo pink. Never liked the ship, never particularly cared for Picard :)

    Nah at the ship customization console just set colors to pink, select material 1-3 and change paint style to orion, should come out just like that.

    Yup what Alpharaider said.

    I did something similar for my Bird of Prey thats more pink than it needs to be, and my Klingon Fed ship with a blood red color.

    because Pink is not Canon!
    is that a photoshoped Wesley Crusher in your avatar?

    also there is a skill that makes the ship glow ORANGE... just as wrong.

    Spaceships dont glow all of a sudden... Ships dont have shiny rings arround them.

    This Blizzard / Chineses blinky blink skill stuff is overrated... and 100% NOT Star Trek.

    Pink ships are not canon. Pink ships are confusing in PvP because you don't know what kind of ship it is. The /pinkship feature must be disabled.

    I don't think my USS Kagayaki fits canon very well either. But it fits the character, so I'm sticking with it.
    :p

    indeed how all the posters above you can get it so wrong just boggles the mind.

    But.. this is a game. And having visual indication of skills being used is necessary in a game. We might as well remove all visual effects that aren't canon (such as the effects for Attack Patterns, Rapid Fire, High Yield, etc), so you will NEVER know what abilities your opponents are using. I suppose we could make Cryptic record tons more ship dialog and just have the ship's computer and our BOs tell us EVERYTHING that is going on, all the time!, but that would be plain annoying.

    These sorts of things have existed since before Blizzard and Chinese MMOs used them.

    Besides, you have no canon source for what the tactical display on a tactical station actually looks like, as I don't believe it's ever been directly shown in any Star Trek episode. For all we know, it could show the ship with little rings around it that represent the shields.

    That's standard issue for the Caitian Militia. Or it will be when I get my Caitian bridge officers. :p
