Making SG Base Entry Portals Tintable?

[Arctique]

So I just had a thought, with how the base portals in the red/gold side zones were graphically updated to respectively be tinted red or yellow, along with the existence of the green version of the base portal FX used in the RWZ base, and iirc those new summonable base portals accepting custom colours under power customization...

 

Would it be possible for the entry portals inside bases themselves to be made into tintable objects? Or at the very least adding some way to replace the default blue portal with the red, yellow, or green versions present in other zones? Maybe as an extra setting under the Options menu in the editor, an "entry portal style" drop-down menu to let you choose which variation of the base portal you want.

Or completely replace that loud, garish, crackling tube of energy with something less visually obscene; a nice, simple, glowing circle, or some such (tinatable, as you suggest, of course).

I would actually like to have a door.  Just a damn door I can open. I could even write "EXIT" over it.  How about that?

Visuals aside, I've been wanting to get rid of that sound since I've started playing the game.

 

There are actually a lot of people who make amazing bases, but slap the portal smack dab in front of a common area.. and given the number of people I know who don't play with sound, it makes for ear torture for those who do.

 

We got rid of the sounds on the zone screens, but the portal is significant in that it's a hearing cue for where the exit is despite access to /stuck which a lot of people don't actually know will teleport you to the exit.

 

I'd be on board with gutting the sound but I think it would require a consensus.

I believe @Solarverse has a mod for that, but I think the ideal solution would be to integrate that modification work from the likes of Solar and other community contributors and allow all players independent control over some of the most irksome sounds with built-in and dev-supported options.
