Emphasise jump point '+' on radar
Hey guys, love the changes you've made. I can't tell that there is a difference in # of players- it feels about the same to me on 100 and space travel. However, the additional convoys flying through space give the game a more vibrant feel. I also love the improved visuals and audio. I do hope the AI voice varies with different missions though! But she knows my name, so whoo hoo!
Anyway. To the point of this post. As a result of the increased NPC traffic, I've noticed that it can be difficult to quickly orient on the next jump point marker using the radar to orient myself because all of the npc's show green as friendly and the '+' marker is the same green. This is most common when 30-50 friendly objects are showing in the sector. I'd suggest changing the color to the blue of the wh indicator or emphasizing it in another way so that it is eye-catching.
I think the development cost would be insignificant. I don't think it damages the game, it gives the same advantage to all players, possibly making it easier to orient for newer players. It doesn't make sense for both indicators to be the same color on the radar.

+1. This can currently be changed via a skin change but it would be nice to use a slider to change the color on the fly.
