Terminator drones shouldn't glow bright red anymore.

I don't think this is likely to be a particularly controversial suggestion; as I recall, the bright red glow was added when they had ion pulsers and were super-dangerous things that you really had to be able to notice.

This is no longer the case, and it's a bit jarring to have my Tempests all look like they've got little torpedo-drones following them around.

Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.

I actually WANT to keep the glow as I have a hard time seeing them without it

Ditto for the torpedo issue, it's even worse because I often use Tempest as my flagship.
I sometimes panic a bit when they return to me.

As another data point, I too keep confusing them for torpedoes.
