Weapon and engine colors have no bearing on functionality, so it's ridiculous to argue that something SHOULD be this color because of X, Y, and Z reasons. It's purely cosmetic. The only justified argument you could give would be "because I like this color better," and then it's just your preference vs the Devs.
Maybe the argument of "all of <Faction name> 's guns are this color" would hold up, but it still falls back to preference, not logic or reason.
Sure it doesnt matter, change all planets' colour to pink, all ships be aqua blue and maybe we would get shark firing weapons? It wont have any particular function yeah, but who cares.
Your statement is stupid and it will remain so until that attitude is changed. The reason for this change is cosmetic yeah, but it changes the feeling in game, the logic behind the guns.
Let me add one thing to your post.
This is a Roleplay server. So stuff need to have some logic behind it.
If this was a server where I could dock on a Sun and grab a Nomad Battleship that's twice the size of this one for one credit, then yes, no logic needed. But happily, Freelancer Discovery 24/7 is the Roleplay server we all know and love.
