How is the color of manufactured capships going to be determined? Will it be the color selected in the color picker of the Purchase Ships screen?

This may be more of a suggestion, but if that is the case it would be a good idea to add a stage to the end of the final manufacturing mission stating something like "Your trident is almost ready. Go to the purchase ship screen and select the color you want" with a continue button. It would be awful to go through all that work for a capship and then find out it came in a color different than was wanted.

I've seen a few really hideous colored Superlights. I'm assuming it's because of this. :)

Hmm. Interesting point. Noted.

Also, would it be possible to have more than one color? I know this has been requested before but, since player owned Tridents are new... maybe this would be the time to experiment with dual color options?

If there is to be more than one color then my opinion is that you'd need to see a preview of what the trident would look like in those colors. If the capship key gets assigned when first launched from the station, perhaps an alternate solution would be to incorporate the color selection into that dialog as well?
