Turret displayed in white instead of red

Has anyone else found it confusing that when you deploy a turret, it's marked as red on your HUD when you look at it_ I've seen a good number of gameplay vids on Youtube where players have destroyed their own turrets immediately after (accidentally) deploying them because they show up with a red targetting box when you look at them. Cue the "OH MAI GOD IT'S GONNA SHOOT ME *BOOM!*", and voila: wasted item. I almost did the same thing myself the first time I deployed a turret until I realized that it wasn't tracking me.
So, my suggestion for improving the beta is to outline friendly turrets in white, just like with teammate's mechs in team matches, to avoid this confusion. That should hopefully avoid a few deaths of newbie players while they're distracted by their own item.

A coagulated, gloomy thinking in the intelligence, as my major ego.
An antinomian theorem of behaviorism, in all of my thinkings.
It's what we call "The Inversion Impulse."

Maybe everyone else is just smart enough to recognize where their own turret is and not pay attention to the colour. I'll admit that I've stopped looking at the colour most of the time myself. Really this post was just with new users in mind.

That makes sense. Still, it would be nice if your own turrets showed up as white in free for all Death Match too.
