Summary0023275: Having the galaxy icon for a flagship indicate while being captured
DescriptionSometimes when I'm claiming a flagship and need to use it as soon as it is done being claimed for an urgent battle. It would be nice if the galaxy icon for the transport also said "this is being claimed, at x%" or something. Maybe a green % number (like where loaded flagships say the number of units (though I think that should also be a percentage).

Very minor QoL; might be worth doing only with the "using a percentage of units loaded instead of the raw number" galaxy map thing.

For numbers and such on the icons, I can't just do raw text. I have to prerender the text into an icon, which then gets displayed at the appropriate numbers. I could make it possible to do percentages by every 5% or something, and that would only be 20 percentages. But I can't color it differently from one purpose to another (being captured, being full, etc).

The main dictionary for ship icons is currently all one thing, and I need to break that out into a few separate ones. That will let me have one for "ship icons," another for the central statuses, etc. It's not much different on the GPU pipeline, and will then let us have multiple dictionaries of ship icons and flairs. That way people can actually mod in ship icons and flairs in the future.

For the time being, that's relevant because the main dictionary is starting to run out of space even at 4096 pixels squared. So I'll need to tackle all of this sort of thing around the same time.
