Fireworks for the Cash Shop

[Xyntech]

Watching the 4th of July fireworks, it got me thinking about fireworks in Planetside.

In the first Planetside, the VS will generally shoot glowing pixie gunfire in the sky to create a fireworks style effect when a base is captured. Why not give some version of that celebration ability to all three empires, the same way that everyone will have access to some form of jump jets this time around instead of just the VS.

Since fireworks would be entirely cosmetic, it would make perfect sense to make them be a cash shop only item. The devs could still give away a few free fireworks to each player for specific events if they wanted to, but I think a lot of us would want to use them after any difficult base capture, so they could be a decent source of income.

Free players wouldn't have to be left entirely out of the celebratory atmosphere either. There will still be things like flares and stuff to contribute without paying a cent.

And to all the VS players, it's not like we would be losing anything. We still have a lot more awesome shiny weapons fire than the other sides, and purple and teal are the best firework colors anyways.
