Summary0021993: Add notable AI defensive structures to the Galaxy Map
DescriptionCertain AI structures like AI Eyes, fortresses, Ion cannons, and Mass drivers don't appear on the Galaxy Map. I recall they appeared there in AI War 1, and I appreciated it as it was a good way to quickly get a sitrep on how dangerous that world was and how much attention it needs.

I think it'd be worth adding them to the galaxy map as a warning.

I don't think they should be enabled by default, but I think there should be a different galaxy view mode that would show defensive structures. The code is all there for this sort of display; all that's missing is the UI piece.

In general there are a number of nice galaxy map improvements that would be great. "Show defensive structures/show immobile strength" vs "Show Threat forces only" vs "Show Minor Faction only (for example, "where is the warden fleet")". Lots of possibilities here.

Yeah, I think there would be worth in a "detailed view" toggle option. I remember in AI War 1, there was a complete breakdown of all the guard posts and structures on mouseover so you knew what to expect. I think something like that would be great to put in something like that.

Having multiple overlays on the galaxy map to toggle between would be fantastic IMO

The code is all there for it (in fact I wrote a number of "Show different things on the galaxy map" mechanics), it just needs UI to let the player control it.
