Summary0023106: Attack alert - color scheme
DescriptionPer the screenshot, Kiczales is under attack - given a bright yellow !. Clinda is also under attack, given a darker !.

Expected result:
* Clinda, currently occupied by groups 3 and 4, also has a major data center as shown on-screen. The icon should reflect that.

Actual result:
* Per screenshot, Clinda has a darker icon than another system with a brighter icon.
* Additionally, it's still the same icon, thus hard to tell at a glance that a critical system is being attacked even when the brightness bus gets fixed.

Note:
* The issue persists across saved games, but not relaunches.

Do you have a save game? I don't remember why the code is doing what it's doing.

Saves don't seem to reproduce the bug - as soon as I quit and relaunched the game, the display reverted to same brightness icons. No ideas for a setup either.

The AI sending a wave to a non-player planet is darkened, could the same code be related to darkening active attacks?

Unless chris sees something I don't, we'll need a better understanding of what triggers this problem to be able to fix it.

I don't understand what causes it, but I now have a save where the brightness gets lowered - two waves target the same planet. It's on a time limit, as the player need to defeat the large reconquest wave before the second wave arrives.

The Notifications should now be doing a better job of reflecting the urgency of battles
