Feedback Thread: Replacing the Disruptor Pistol sprites

Github PR here: https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/10444

Basically, I wasn't vibing with the sprites for the disruptor pistols. While they're good sprites, IMO they don't match the aesthetic of the rest of the game. Therefore, I decided to resprite them, and after getting some good reception, I decided to make a proposal.

Have a picture of the current disruptors for comparison:

Personally, I'm in favor of the change for basically the same reasons as Sinful.  As a secmain, these are sprites I have to look at with significant frequency and I much prefer the style closer to the .45 as opposed to the current more pulp-esque sprites.

I'm in favor of making the disruptor sprite consistent with the other guns.

I don't mind which one the server uses however I will say I much prefer the indication of stun vs lethals on the proposed version. I always found it a bit hard to see the green on the current sprite.

Speaking of, could the red be closer in it's saturation/light value to the blue in the proposed sprites? The larger disruptor pistols seem less saturated on the red portions.

I don't support this change. While I think the current sprites have a minor inconsistency issue as far as contrast with the rest of the server is concerned, I do feel that they're still better than these proposed replacements- which bear far too much resemblance to the security .45, in my eyes.

Actually, I realized a mistake. The Sec Discord recommended it be brighter, and I did that as a test. The actual sprites for that gun are not that bright, but I can change them to be brighter before they're implemented, if that ends up happening.

This is my ongoing resprite. No idea if I can actually finish it with the arc going on, but it is a start.

Top - old

Middle - new stun

Bottom - new lethal
