Indications of War

from Stardock Forums
Question: Is there some way to tell who's at war with me on the mini-map?

Other than scanning the Foreign Relations screen, memorizing the colors "ok, pink, yellow and light blue are at war with me", then scanning the mini-map "there's a pink, nope that's orange, whew, ok there's another light blue"? 'cause if that's the only way, then it sucks.
Sorry for the lack of sugar coating!

Unfourtunatly, at this time, that is the only way :( We'll put it on our list of things to fix/add, though, and try to get somethign working by 1.0 If not, It'll definaly be put in an upcoming verion (1.x) cause It'll certainly be useful.

This was certainly suggested before. There are a lot of potentially useful filters/additions that could be added to the minimap. The abiltiy to better change what is / is not displayed on the map would be good.

Some options
filters for race (turn any race on/off)
filters for ship type (all / transports / colony / small / med / large)
filters for planet type (<10 / 10-14 / 15-20 / 20+)
filters for relations (allied / neutral / hostile / war)
filters for starbases (influence / def / +att / econ / prod / resource)
filters for planets (prod / research / influence / economy)

and so on.

Lots of suggestions have been made, and I am glad to see a lot of them have been implemented. But there has been only so much time to get the game into shape and ready for market. In the hussle to do so I am sure many of the suggestions we made just "didn't make the cut". We still have release 1.1 ahead of us, so when 1.0 comes out, I think we should take a new look at what we have, repeat the suggestions we think still have merit, and add new ones that occur to us. I just thing that the next month is going to be so hectic for the SD crew that trying to give them reminders of old suggestions or give them new suggestions at this time may result in a lot of good ideas getting lost.
