What does grey signify? Neutral?
I've noticed that everything turns grey when you die...
Not sure what it means or signifies though.

Perhapse grey can be used to denote neutrals even during play?

I've thought on this, and it would make more sense for neutrals to be yellow.

As for what we would change weapons fire to, I have no clue.

I think its good that weapons fire is yellow; stands out.

Neutrals would be fine as grey, or perhapse blue?

I always thought grey was a low-energy contact.

Nope; no grey contact ever appears prior to death.

It wouldn't. Prior to death all sorts of explosions and systems would be overloading.

I meant the player's death.

Other ships turn a dark green after they die.

I'm confused. :oops: What turns grey when you die? You turn grey? Or everybody else turns grey? 'Cause I thought when you died you went to the death screen. That's what always happens to me. Is something else supposed to happen? And how can I get that game?

No; a few seconds after you die (before you go to the death screen), everything on the LRS turns to grey icons, as opposed to red/green.

But then it would be hard to distinguish from the asteroids, then it's not our fault if we shoot them accidentally?
