Color scheme should definitely stay rebels=red, Imps=Green. Asort of orangey red or yellowy green for blasters might work though.

Well, the colour of weapons SHOULD depend on the type of ship and weaponary...the Lambda Shuttles for example shoots red lasers and a Star Destroyer on the rebel/new republic side shoots green laser, unless the weapons are exchanged

As seen in ROTJ the Interceptor fires solely green lasers.  Remember that the 4 blasters/2 lasers armament is an EU rationalisation.  In the movie both appear identical.  I'm all for changing the size of the blasts (which vary quite frequently in the movies anyways) but changing colour is a step beyond the movies, which show them all as green

Size, brightness, sound etc. I don't mind varying, but if you ask me TIEs (and other imperial starfighters for that matter) should shoot only green. The only exception being Ion cannons which the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games taught me are white/blue no matter who shoots them. Don't think those are ever seen on fighters in the movies though, so not exactly canon.

Yeah, Ion cannons are only seen once, as fired by the rebels on hoth, and it's more reddy/purple than blue

IIRC, one of my friends along time ago said the rebels didn't have access to some more expensive gas used in laser generation, so their lasers were not as powerful, which could explain the difference in color.  Not sure of the source, though, but he had a ton of books etc, etc about that.

I think we're ready to call it done.

I think we're ready to call it awesome.

Are we talking just LOD0 here? If not (i.e. if you've got all the lods and debris and whatnot) get it poffed up and uploaded to internal. The sooner we can start getting a shipset of any size ingame, the better.

[EDIT]Just noticed the capacity for 10 gunpoints. Nice :D

Seriously awesome. Good looking TIES are at the core of any space starwars game, and you're nailing these ships down to a science. Nice.
