I know it was thrown about a while back, but I still think having different shield colors would be nifty. 

Was thinking red or maybe green for Vasari, blue for Advent, red or violet for TEC (have to think about that one a bit more).

I edited the mesh on one of the cap ships and played around with some of the shield color settings, but couldn't seem to get anything to actually change.  But I really didn't know what I should be changing, exactly, anyways.
