Show fleet relation to player on Map
« on: September 01, 2016, 08:07:23 AM »

On the map window all fleets are shown as alternating solid and blank triangles in the colour of the faction they are affiliated with
Surrounded by a border in the same colour

Spoiler
[close]
Please change the colour of the border to represent the fleets intentions towards you?
(Faction allegiance will still be clearly visible)

Spoiler
[close]
Red - Vengful
Orange - Hostile
Grey - neutral
Green - Friendly
Blue - Ally?
Yellow - currently trying to intercept

I like this idea. Make more use of the symbology.

This would be really nice.

It could be even simpler though, as you don't really need to differentiate between vengeful and hostile, nor friendly and allied.
All you need is a marking for:
Fleets that are likely to attack you.
Fleets that are likely to help you.
Fleets that are likley to do nothing.
Fleets that are currently trying to engage you.
