Is it possible to implement an update which makes the mining laser color dependent on the mining crystal that is being used? This would greatly improve the mining experience.

I like it as a QoL thing, but think it belongs in the little things thread, stickied at the top of the page.

Talking more,

Flying crazier,

And drinking more

Making battleships worth the warp

2nd on the placement, but I like it too. Disco mining - check! 80s pop - check! Caffeine in spill-proof container while I dance the mining away - check! (Like nobody's watching!)

I approve of this message so it should get done.

Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

Would it be connected to the ore base color?

Then i'd like to have 10 high slot mining vessel to use all of them at once. Roids rainbows lazor beams.

1 color for each type of ore and ice.

It would be more of a large scale mining operation management benefit. It's easier to distinguish who is mining what by visually distinguishing their mining lasers.

Different ammunition have different colors. Why should mining be any different?
