Summary0020791: Route vs Controlled Systems lines are difficult to distinguish between
DescriptionThe difference between the color of link between two controlled systems light blue and the color of the "this is the route you will take" light blue is also extremely hard to make out.

I'm experiencing the same issue -- came here to report the same problem and found this bug report already here. I'm attaching a screenshot (annotated with my text in yellow) to show what I see on my screen. The light blue color(s) used to show "controlled/friendly territory" versus military ship routing within explored territory are almost the exact same color, if not actually the exact same color... I actually can't tell.

This colour of those lines is determined by

    public abstract class BaseGalaxyMapDisplayMode : IGalaxyMapDisplayModeImplementation
    {
        public virtual Color GetColorForLinkBetweenPlanets(Planet FirstPlanet, Planet SecondPlanet)
        {
            ProjectedMultiPathData pathData = SpecialFaction_Human.NonSim_PlanetsInvolvedInPathToCurrentHoverPlanet_LocalFactionOnly;
            if ( pathData != null && pathData.GetAreConnected( FirstPlanet, SecondPlanet ) )
                return World_AIW2.Instance.GetLocalPlayerFaction().TeamCenterColor.TeamColorHighlighted; <======


That value is from
TeamColorDefinition.cs
                TypeDataObject.TeamColorHighlighted = ColorMath.AdjustBrightness0To1( TypeDataObject.TeamColor, 0.4f );
or
                TypeDataObject.TeamColorHighlighted = ColorMath.AdjustBrightness0To1( TypeDataObject.TeamColor, -0.3f );

This isn't sufficient differentiation.

DarkArchon suggests that actually changing the link width as well would be desirable, but I'm not sure how to do that. I think that's in the core visualization project and I'm not going to chase that right now.

I agree strongly with the suggestion to make the line width larger (bolder) as well as changing the color to indicate the currently selected or shown route or path, that would help a lot. I think even more important is just the fact that currently routes/paths outside of "known space" don't show *at all*, at least not for scouts, haven't checked in a while for other ships/fleets.

        float num = 1.5f * thicknessMultiplier;
