Default White as a Race Color

I'm playing using the beautiful Federal Union shipset, but I've noticed one problem. Their race color is white, which makes it impossible for me to see which systems I have ships or colonies in on the sector display.

Has this ever been mentioned before? Also, is there a way I can change my color to something else easily?

Thanks!

Edit:
Of course, I spoke before actually looking. I changed the color to a more visable one, but the point remains that any white/light grey color is going to be very difficult see.

As the author of that race style, I must say I did that purpose. The Federal Union AI is a strong one (most days), but the added level of deception of not being able to see it's controlled systems gives it a slight edge to human players.

Same thing when playing the shadows.

Everything is black.

Jeepers! That sounds almost like "Exploit"

You AI guys are quite ingenious.

Thank you, but until I can stop my AI from turning into raving nut balls on turn 5, then I ask you hold the praise...


I've never seen an AI win a war using nothing but meson beams on DN's with no shilds an armor.......
