Now, the color scheme (and general design) on the new energy turrets doesn't seem to fit very well on Sansha's ships with their all black paint, does it? The Succubus suddenly doesn't look so cool anymore... Cry

This is why they don't always look right:

Just to be clear, the shader on the turret is not the same as the shader on the ship, however similar they may seem. The turret shader, for instance, is only a dual-material shader, while a ship uses a tri-material shader. We needed to drop the third material in favor of adding a heat glow to the barrels of turrets under sustained fire.

Since lazors can only be seen when they reflect of something (i.e. particles) and space doesn't have many something in it they should all be invisible - I suggest you turn off your turrets effects for full immersion in space battles.
