I remember someone saying that solid skins were cheats, years ago, after posting a screenshot from my own config.

I'll admit to using solid skins for mines many years ago, as I got sick of accidentally stepping on them anywhere and everywhere, but that's been a lot less of a problem ever since the removal of mine launcher, and my current config does not have any solid skins.

It definitely gives you a distinct advantage, unless the solid skin blends in with the background. I tried a config with solid team skins, and found myself sitting out missions with matching sky colors. Couldn't see the enemy anywhere.

These colors seem to work well for me. I rename the black skin to something random usually so I don't run into your issue.

I don't know about Anni, but most Base players use solid skins. I could stripe them or give them contrasting color patterns to be a so called 'true skin,' that will probably give me the same advantage.

I don't see a problem with different mine skins as long as it doesn't differentiate between friendly and enemy mines.

Mines don't have team skins.
They are also not visible to radar, which means no health bar or anything to indicate teams.
Mines launched from a mine launcher didn't even get assigned to teams, so you'd accidentally trip ones launched by teammates, too.

This was why I made them all bright red.
No mine launchers anymore... no more need for solid skins.
