There's already a white border for owned galaxies--don't you think that's enough?

I think he is saying the team flag would be on the galaxy map for owned galaxies... so you know what team owns the galaxy.

exactly that, and it should be kinda like its own layer.. you know how the galaxy pic and the name at some zooms differ from each other so they are more readable.. the same should work, even better, with team flags. At hihg zoom it is a part of the galaxy in a corner somewhere, on low zoom it should .. i guess a player choice for this would be best.. to give superiorty towards the gal pic/ the flag.

I would prefer for example to see name of the gal including team flag in certain occations for longer flights

Ahh I see. I think there should be an optional overlay to see whose territory is whose, but it might be too cluttered otherwise. Is this possible in C2?

im convinced it would work evne in C1, in c2 it would be a bit more of a challange but the minimap is way bigger there, therefore i expect a better result then it would be feasable in C1.

I guess it's true that layers and things were put in long after the mini map was there, so it's possible to reprogram that bit of C1. The question is if anyone can be bothered to...

yeah exactly like that only with the flags ona different layer, so the zoom adjusts/ makes sure you see them at a mroe appropriate lvl. Way more tricky i bet, but since the gals etc are fixed to a certian point it should be able to make it work

If you check the "Territory" box on the left on my map you get territory borders drawn out :) Its just a little slow to draw, which is why its off by default (but its good for getting an overall view)
