HF Weapon Colour Variants

In addition to being able to swap out weapons for any mission, the Hyperion Federation military has 'colour variants' of all of those weapons, able to cause various effects on impact with armour. Most weapons can have colour variants but some, such as the Newton Force Laser, cannot because in the Neton's case, it would have no effect on its function. Some can have various colour variants, but missing some. For example, the Directed Gravitational Beam Cannon has a version of every colour variant except Purple, because it already ignores shields. Some have special effects, like the Nano Shredder Vulcan M72 with the Purple variant. This is designed to obtain a techprint of the target by recording the locations of every atom rather than disassemble it.
Red - Highly explosive weapons. Red variant weapons are more focused around causing damage in a wider radius than regular variants Orange - heat based weapons. Anything modified with the Orange variant will heat up the target area to immense temperatures. Yellow - Disruption. These also disrupt enemy systems when it hits as well as the normal damage. Normal damage is reduced. Green - Biohazard. These are geared around threatening the crew of the enemy ship rather than the ship itself, sending biological microbes into the hull of the target. Bright - Default Cold - Heat based weapons. Unlike the Orange variant, Cold cools the target rather than heats it. Purple - Gives the weapon more penetrative power. It will cause less damage overall but can often pierce through shields or armour.
Etherial (does not exist in main timeline) - can hit any target that no other weapon can hit. White in colour.
