Redesigned Ground Weapon Looks?

As I've been playing through the new Romulan content, which I am loving btw, I've been noticing that the some of the weapons types look... how should I put this... cartoon/toyish?

Lets take the in-game plasma and anti-proton ground weapons, imo, and a few of my fleets opinions they just don't look really Trek like. They just don't have the Military/Authentic look to them like they do in the shows. What we have instead are odd shaped, and lots of lights in weird places that don't look Trek like.

Now look at the Phaser and Disruptor ground weapons, those look like they've come straight from the TV shows and movie, which makes them look and feel like they're from the show when you're using them in game.

So what does everyone else think? Would this be something they'd like to see in the future? Doesn't have to be with LoR, but a some future update down the road.

    Personally, it feels more like an after-release issue.

    That said, it would be nice if there were variant designs for plasma weapons. The old models are fine as generic plasma weapons, but it would be nice to have something a bit more fitting for the Romulan Republic while leveling up outside of/before the reputation system.

    Each energy type has a distinct look that makes them all look different and easily recognisable.

    Though the Omega AP carbine looks much more military then the rest of the AP weapons.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    Like I said, future update, it'd be nice to see something that as you said would be more fitting for the Romulan Republic in terms of ground weapon look. I do like the looks of the Pistols though.

    There are already different Plasma weapons available from the flotilla. They're still Plasma but there are different weapon variants with a different look, much better than the generic Plasma weapons that are currently available on Holodeck. The weapon below is a wide beam rifle IIRC.

    I always thought the general antiproton weapons looked like something the Eldar would use. Little red spots to represent embedded soul stones, molded from wraithbone... makes me feel like my Vulcan's a gimped Eldar, since he's currently got an anti-Tholian AP rifle and an anti-Borg AP pistol...

    I will agree on the plasma weapons, though. Hate the looks of the generic plasma weapons.

    Almost forgot about those because a few were bugged for me, but something along the lines of that look for all the Plasma Weapons would look amazing, still has the glow look, but it looks more serious, and has a bigger military look. And on top of that you can still tell its a Plasma Weapon.
