I have noticed, that the vasari are using the very same damage effects (flames, spewing vapor) when their ships get damaged.
I think it would be really cool if those would vary from the TEC ones, as they are using other building materials (which would produce other flame colors) and stuff.
I also think that green flames and explosions if their ships blew up would fit much more into their scheme of color.
For the advent and their crystal like ships some blue or teal, more electric effects would look awesome on their ships.
Also on a different note:
Currently the effects seem to be randomly placed on the ships and always go out perpendicular to the surface.
This often leads to weird flames and stuff.
If those had fixed points that were randomly activated when damage occurs i think it would look much better.
