Make Supergiant stars larger on the navigation map
« on: January 14, 2023, 10:08:38 AM »

Can you tell which star is the blue supergiant vs blue giant? I can't (it's the top right).

Suggestion: Supergiant stars should be larger on the map. You should be able to tell at a glance without mouse-over.

I never knew how much I needed this until you pointed it out.

I tried making certain stars bigger and the result was fairly hilarious.

That said, I don't think there is any difference between giants and supergiants, so I don't mind them not appearing different.

I was under the impression that supergiant stars were more likely to have Coronal Hypershunts. If I'm wrong, than I suppose there is no substantive difference between them but even still, a slightly larger star wouldn't hurt (unlike that black-hole star you've got going!)

I thought the exact same, can't remember right now if there were Hypershunts on normal giants in my games, bur I distinctly remember looking at the whole map and trying to tell which blue supergiant I didn't explore yet. Can anyone confirm this?

MiscellaneousThemeGenerator.addCoronalTaps - Hypershunts strongly prefer systems with a blue giant or supergiant star, but doesn't care which.
