A question about Black widows,

I made a post about an issue about these guns a long time ago.
But IIRC I didn't really get an answer if my advice was followed.

The issue with these guns is that because of the black core of the particles,
they tend to become invisible when you play with 'effects' on < 49%.

So if this could be changed to a red'ish color perhaps?
And if this was already done for 4.86 then my question was never asked.

It's a tiny change but useful for those with not too good pc's.

I agree, I tend to play on low effects and those guns are completely invisible to me.
I think the old BW effect was quite nice, can we go back to it?

Black widows eats a lot of energy already as major drawback..

Don't make it worse.

Black widows rock, yes I was in XA and I know what am I talking about. That energy eating what everyone is talking about didn't affect my PvP in any possible way. Unless you're holding shooting button like an idiot.

Or group fighting.

About the color.. in the dark background they are nearly invisible. Now this might effect opponents movment then he's trying to dodge while looking at the projectile's line of fire. For example invisible snac would be way harder to evade than visible one. To some extent this also applies to widows.

I also mentioned this, since I use low graphics occasionally so that I can see pvp more clearly (all the bright lights and flashes can make jousting harder than if you use low graphics). I was told that changing the color wasn't worth it..

I don't use my Xenos anymore. In fact, I believe it was inactive wiped.

Nope. I'm stating the opposite actually. And you can remove your hand from the face, it narrows your ability to read as it seems.

not worth it..

change a number from 0, 0, 0 to 160, 20, 20

it's such a small change but yet useful for some people.
And about the evading non-visible stuff...
My aim was actually getting less when I used them.
Since when you aim at a target and you aim infront of the ship and not at the + because the + is not on the right spot.
I like to see my line of fire to be able to see where I'm actually shooting.
