Pretty minor but I think it would help to make the ship icons on the map scale in size depending on how far out you've zoomed. Not so big they obscure neighboring systems er anyfin', but just enough so they're more visible from farther out.

That's a far out idea man.

Or just have an icon rather then 3d/wireframe of the ship.

Very close up they are very pretty but most of the time I am zoomed out anyway.

This is a great idea. In my head, it is similar to how the tech tree already works.

Their tiny size also makes them hard to locate/click on when zoomed out. Being the exact same color as the systems and strings doesn't help much either.

Also the ships really could do with an outline - sometimes it can be hard to spot a ship in its own zone because they are the same colour as the influence nest. Not a problem close up but on larger maps when you spend time further out it would be handy.
