Default Re: Knowing when an enemy enters a system

Personally, I'd like to see a return to the SE3 way of displaying the 'system circle' in multiple colors based on who was in the system. To me, that was an elegant and simple way to display it that the player could see at a glance.

I agree, but in order for it to be truly effect with SE4's map, you would have to bring back the zoom functions as well. Right now the circles are too small to see all the different colors well.

Yeah,

not the best solution at the moment.

àked myself several times, if it wouldn´t be better, to get a message, that enemy forces are in one of my claimed systems.

Would be very good to get a message - better to look for triangles or to check system by system- not to think about it, if the AI would be so smart to use warp-openers!!!
