When you are aiming exactly at the released energy charge from the Phaser weapon , make it so, that the whole aiming crosshair or reticle change its color , so that you know, when you can detonate it.
I prefer a red aiming reticle, but if it’s already red, then it can become white.
Screenshots:
Screenshot 1: Normal Phaser being fired.
Screenshot 2: Releasing an energy charge!
Screenshot 3: Detonation of an energy charge, which causes an explosion.
Color of the Phaser aiming reticle should not present a big problem.
No, because that will lead to lots of confusion. Quite often you have to lead your big bubble to hit it and if you aim at it youde miss. It would be nice for some kind of leading feedback though or make small projectile a hit scan pulses but with lower dmg i guess

There would be no confusion. It would only affect 1 weapon - Phaser. You still need your wits to aim and hit.
Something similar for the flux phaser would be useful too. Cross-hair could change color when a ship is near the projectile to inform us when to release and make it explode.
