Summary0022990: Bug? Superfluous icons on player ships
Description I'm pretty sure this is related to the change with icons. Ships look dirty with all of them displaying what type of order they're carrying out, and seeing mark levels can be nigh-on impossible. (I.e. MKII ships on Pursuit) This is probably some missing file error, but if it's not it should absolutely be a toggle on/off.
TagsNo tags attached.

I'm confused by what you mean. Those little flairs on the bottom have been there for a really long time. Years, possibly.

The unit circled on the bottom is a drone. Those are always in pursuit mode, you can't change their order.

I think that flair indicates which state the ship is in (in your case, attack-move).

Why is it bad knowing which state your ships are in? That seems like a good thing to me.

Something weird has happened! The circle units "flair" has been linked with the mode it appears in, but they're absolutely not something that's ever shown up as a (!) or bright yellow nuclear symbol. They don't tell me anything I don't already know, as I can see the movement mode in the bottom right, as well.

Uhm, I'm pretty sure that's always been there. Far as I know this is not a bug and is working as always intended.

That'd mean either you had a bug that is fixed suddenly and can now see them, or it's never been noticed before.

I've dug up some old screenshots, and you're right. I can't find the nuclear symbol, but I definitely found others. I'll close this and link a Suggestion ticket because dear god is it obnoxious now that's I've finally noticed it after 40 hours.

Reporters don't have the power to close "new" status tickets they create, so, unfortunately, that clean-up is left to one of you.
