Coloured craft markers in map view

[THX1138]

It can be hard to find the vessel I want to take control of especially when all the overlapping grey markers and orbits are difficult to distinguish. If they were coloured, maybe I'd be able to remember that I'm interested in the blue and orange ones etc. I do try giving them appropriate symbols but that only helps some of the time.

This would be awesome - no more issues with figuring out which orbit belongs to which craft when docking. I feel it would make the quality of life a lot easier.

The only problem with coloring ALL of the craft is that there are really only a few colors (that are distinguishable) and several of those are tied up in the flight maneuvers. Cyan, Yellow, Orange, Purple, and Red are all in use already by Craft, Target, and 3 Node/Encounter colors.   So how many distinguishable colors could you add?

 

What I would find much more useful is if the craft icon itself would change color when targeted.  Many times two craft are sitting visually on top of each other and I can't tell which one is my target.  Even though the orbit is yellow, the icon is still white.
