There seems to be many different types of blaster effects, ranging from the normal red/blue/green blaster bolts, to purple blaster bolts, to little blue twirling balls, to yellow streaks, to yellow/orange firebolts.
How about adding this information to the Weapon specs. Something like:
Effect: Firebolt
Would seem like an easy fix, and something that wouldn't be that hard. Then you don't have to go to space to find out what color bolts your ships use.
(On the other hand, if there is a way to tell without testing it out, please let me know TY)

I've always wished that Shipwrights could set the bolt style/color when they make a weapon. So you could have a level 10 blaster with yellow lightning bolts if you want it, or a level 8 ion cannon with white bolts.
But something I've noticed, though it may just be me, the weapons with strange names like "Krayt Smasher Cannon" and things like that, ones that don't have a company name on them, are the ones that usually have different color bolts. And, of course, they're harder to find. 
I have a level 8 cannon with yellow lightning bolts that looks awsome. But I don't want to use it unless I find another one with the same firing style... (Which is why it would be awsome if Shipwrights could customize the color. And why shouldn't they be able to? They're their own manufacturing company... they should be able to set the laser colors.)
