Hello,

I am colorblind. I can not recognize which planet system belong to whom.

It would be nice if u could write the name of race, which is in posession of that paricular solar system, in color bar.

The same goes for fleets.

Or, add colorblind help in options. So u could choose, whenever u want or not the added colorblind help.

Hovering with the mouse over the system should tell you which faction it belongs to.

That's a good temporarily solution. But once he starts playing on huge maps with lots of A.I it'll get frustrating to keep hovering over systems.

We have spent a fair amount of time trying to deal with color blindness in the software we develop at work. It has a bigger effect than most think. About 7% of males have some form of color blindness, and there are a bunch of different types. Depending on the colors you are using the impact can be small or huge.

If you want to see what kind of effect there can be upload a picture to this Color Blindness Simulator and check out the results.

I have eyesight problems as well. For me the nebula in the background give me fits. i would suggest an option to turn off the background and make it black. Would make it simpler for ones like me. lol
