Number of Facilities?

[JeffG]

It's in the tutorial, which I find quite useful for getting started in the game. The game is still a bit overwhelming, though. One thing I'm wondering is, from the main screen, when viewing the quadrant map in the lower right, how do you tell who has a presence in a system? Or do you only see your own color?

Well, you can't tell who owns the system in the map in the main windows, unless you have some ships (or satellites) there. You can use Empires screen (F9), and then look at borders. There you will see all the systems you have discovered so far, and also all the claims on those systems. Now, when the AI colonizes some system, he always puts claim on that system and all the neigboring systems. Because of that, you can easily predict where AI empire has colonies.

I was just hoping for an easy way to assess territory without having to leave the main screen.
