Request for high-contrast map colors option

from Stardock.net Forums

I am mildly color-blind, and I have great trouble on the map screen when there are more than ~3 players -- I can't just tell who is a friend/neutral/or foe.  Ultimately I get attacked without even realizing there are enemies there!

Please make a simple high-contrast option for the map screen -- something like:

* Player ships are white

* Enemies ships are red

* Friends are green

* Neutral are blue

Or something like that.  I suppose bonus points if you make it customizable, because I'm sure there are people more color-blind than I am.  Please help me with this!  The game is becoming effectively unplayable because I don't know who is flying around the universe!

I too am color blind and 4X games are sometimes a challenge depending on how colors are used. I'd like to hear from any other color-blind users how their experience is before I invest in this game. I'm also curious is the OP still plays and if it has gotten any better since the game's official release.

I will put this in a doc I am preparing about requested features for the 1.0+ cycle.

Interestingly, say what you will about GalCiv 3, it was a lot easier to see objects and to make out others in GalCiv 3.
