PS2's factions are visually more distinct (TR - human latest technoloies, NC - human older technologies, VS - alien technologies), so I can suggest:

TR - Classic Laser OS.
NC - Mole nuke OS. By mole I mean that before explosion the nuke digs into the ground. So you have that delay, you have with current OS, to hear the thing and run away.
VS - Lightning OS. Like a giant series of flashes followed by a giant thunderstrike that wipes everything out.

The only difference except looks is sound. But other than that, no technical differences; same radius, same damage, same timer, same instagib with no DoT, same ability to hear when it's coming.

Sounds like a good idea to me.
