Could we get a way to have three omnis from all, or most, type of weapons? Or at least somehow to mount three Discovery type omnis. Or at least two (KBC is at least barely visible)?
It is strange that we have Discovery phaser DBBs, but we can only mount one omni from the same type. Discovery weapons are becoming nearly common like the normal phasers by now.
Please?

Which, if you think about it, might have made sense back when we just had "phaser" "disruptor" "plasma" etc. But now that there's so many non-canon flavors of each energy type, there's no "oh, look, that's a Phaser ship" unified appearance anymore, to protect in the name of Star Trek Canon™.
I have a single energy type on each of my different alts' ships. But they all look like they're flying rainbow ships due to the million quest/rep/lockbox weapons.
But, yeah. I don't expect it to change.
I don't mix energy types but I often put the quad phaser cannon in with biomolecular phasers. I'd be fine with something that lets me, for example, make my biomolecular phasers normal orange.

That's a good example of the IP holder getting too nitpicky about what their lessee is doing.
And like kiralyn said, there are soo many colors now that saying 'canon colors' is a pretty moot point now.
Game-wise I could see an argument for PvP; but that's mostly dead and wouldn't the impulse/shield/deflector skins also be bad for PvP? So why allow any of them if PvP was a concern.
The only thing I'd like to see is a "Pulse Phaser Omni" so that we can get a consistent "look" if using the JJTrek Pulse Phasers. Of course you can get a similar look with turrets, but then, they do way less damage, and are classed as "cannons" not beams for BOFF powers.
But I would like to see "craftable" JJTrek/DSC/TOS style weapons, at least for aesthetics (sound, visuals), they wouldn't necessarily have to have the same proc's.
But why are there no Krieger omnis at all? Why is there only two or one omni of certain type? I do not think it has anything to do with IP.
It is also stupid. Omnis could be mission or reputation rewards, something that Cryptic do not have to work for.
So yeah, it is a mystery to me why they keeping this omni rules.
Thats what most folk would like.
To have the option for a cosmetic slot to unify the shot colour. A thing that could even be monetized by selling warframe like shader packs for 100zen a pop.
The "its not canon argument" stopped holding water a very long time ago and to enforce a change to canon only colours could be disasterous for the games population if it ended up locking weapon types to ships or factions. Unless of course the colour was hardcoded into the ship itself but even that wouldn't necessarily be popular as the new shiny weapon would only ever be seen with the tarnished old look.
I do not ask to be able to change weapon effects. I ask for the capability for having enough in game omnis to have the same weapons on a ship.
