Change the colors of the warp effect

I am a Romulan character and by default the color of the warp effect in my ships is green, but I have a dominion ship and every time I jump at warp speed the effect is green.
Could you change the color of the warp effect depending on the ship you have? in this case purple or pink

Thanks o:)o:):#

    I've always wondered the logic behind having the ships' warp trails (and transporters) reflect the political affiliation of the captain rather than the technology used myself.

    Warp colouring. It's completely harmless to your health, and it makes warping fun again.

    Whilst this would be nice, the answer is probably going to be no because they are hard-coded and the new 'Dominion' Faction will be Purple.

    It is worth noting that the AoY faction has no glow warp trail for most ships.

    I believe the warp effect is hard coded to faction, just like transporter effect,... Blue = Fed, Red = Klingon and Green = Romulan. Don't look for it to be changed in any meaningful way anytime soon.

    I've honestly found it weird that the Klingon and Romulans share the same beam-up call-outs while Federation and 23c, while both Federation, are different. I hope the Dominion have a unique call-out instead of also reusing the Klingon call-out.

    The one difference in warp trails is actually the Kelvin Timeline ships. While they somewhat maintain the color themes, those ships have entirely unique warp trails based on those seen in Into Darkness.

    hi there , may i ask are there any costom made warp effects for players or can it be someday bought in c-stores just like you buy bridges , coz i like the DSC warp effects everytime i take off but of course to have that effect with all the rest of your ship you have to use your DSC characters but if other old characters you cant use the DSC warp effects even walker class (from lobi store / exchange) , crossfield class (from exchange / lock boxes) from old characters also dont have DSC warp effects only the starter pack walker (tier1-tier4) has . and in DSC characters any ship you bought or had all have DSC warp effects , secondly about the walker and crossfield bridges does anyone know when players can have access to other rooms , and transporter rooms , instead of just stuck in the bridge ? coz to admit it is a good design and awesome , even set to 500 zen just to buy the warp effect it worth it , just like yu buying bridges too , hope got some answers here soon , happy huntings everyone .
