T2 Scorch and XRay crystals look exactly the same. Please change T2 Scorch and the other T2 crystals to unique icons.

They have names, right? Under the icon.

When fitted you will not see any name unless you move the mouse over the weapon slots. Having different icons would make it unnecessary to mouse over to see what crystals are fitted.

This is not a big problem now, but in my fantasy future, t1 ammos other than the closest-range variants will be useful at which point I could easily imagine this being a pain in the ass.

Hey now, Titanium Sabot isn't useless. Or Thorium.. kinda. XRay is pretty useless though, I will admit.

No, not when they are loaded into the guns.

dunno why y'all are trolling this guy for making such a reasonable request. Have a +1 OP.

I've never even shot a laser either.

I also find this irritating. For me, it's telling the difference between Multifrequency and Gleam crystals in beam lasers.

The simplest solution would be to add a little 'T2' icon to the corner of all the T2 ammos.

That would be a great idea for T2 ammo. They already have the icon. Now all they have to do is load it into the GUI for loaded ammo.

Seems reasonable enough. That said, I would like to see a different "cut" of crystal while keeping the same color rather then just a "T2" or something on it, as it would look better imo.

Just realized that all T2 ammos for all guns look like a T1 ammo type. That means all should get unique icons of course to differenciate them when loaded into the gun. An indicator for T2 and faction ammo would be welcome too.
