Colours not yet used for beams

edited September 2017 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I have been wondering what colours haven't yet been used with beams so far, the only colours I can come up with are bronze, silver, salmon, and hot pink. Is there any others you can think of?

    Don't remember any black ones.

    The Herald weaponry has some black in its FX. Not entirely though, and it may be a very dark purple.

    Hot pink is a color flavor we've yet to see in game.
    Bring it.

    If you mean polarons they are more of a purple colour than a pink colour.

    Since Star Trek and many other sci-fi shows skip physics class (and maths class... and biology class), calling black a color, instead of an absorption of colors and light, is legitimate. :tongue:

    Thought Phased Polaron was pink? And I run Dominion Polaron, and that's a light lavender-y pink. Does that count? Maybe?

    And also, if anyone has some recommendations for purple beams, I'd be all over it.

    Polaron is pink-ish, kinda.

    O, the forum rage of peeps complaining they can't see their black beams against the blackness of space! :) I'll still take a piano-black hull, though.

    Plaid! And I sometimes think of the G.I. Joe and Transformer lasers from the 1980s.

    Good taste there! ^_^
    Resident TOS, G.I. Joe, Transformers and hair metal fangirl.

    And knowing is half the battle!

    Phased polaron is a purple/red color from my experience. Its not Hot Pink/Barbie Pink.

    Standard polaron are purple... been awhile since I used them though. I may be wrong.

    I think standard polaron has pink specs but I'm not sure.

    I think he meant Delphic Antiproton...they're pink...not hot pink but a dark pink, if I recall.

    I love Barbie Pink. :blush: Polarons aren't really that, though, but pink nonetheless (with high overtones of white).

    I'd love some black beams. Or rather beams that were so dark they suck the light from everything else....pretty much black hole beams.

    Yeah....that'd be cool.

    I don't care if black isn't a colour, I still want to see black beams! Or white beams.

    And as much as I do love Temporal Chronitons, I'd like to see a real rainbow, as opposed to a beam that changes colour while it fires. Plus, cannon fire would be much, much better.

    well, you can't; pure black = invisible in this engine

    sure, they could go a few shades off 0, 0, 0, but then it wouldn't be black anymore​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Semantics. Make it slightly not black then. To any normal person it'll be black. Technically not black, but who cares? Black beams would still be cool, even without being 100% black.

    They would be.

    Black primary, highlighted with white.

    They *could* do full black beams, though: invisible, yes, but with high specular lighting, so they'd glitter anyway, like C-beams in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
