So was reading up on some NdYAG lasers, and it occured to me that laser firings are actually visible even if the laser wavelength itself is not, the light of the arc lamp will shine through the lasing medium and is actually quite bright.

In game the laser firings are highly visible, as are the target spots. Just no visible beam between them as there is nothing to scatter the light.

actually, if a laser is outside the visible spectrum in-game, there is no visible spot on the ball turret, unlike with a vis wavelength beam. What the OP is saying is that there should be some visible-light bleedoff from the arclamp even if the beam wavelength is not in the visible spectrum.

Would be a helpful visual cue for designers to confirm that they've got all their lasers firing, if designing a ship with multiple IR/UV lasers.
