Summary0002413: Increase contrast for colors of wormholes with AWS
DescriptionI'm red-green colorblind. I have a hard time seeing the difference between a red wormhole and a green one. If one were darker or lighter -- or, say, pulsated or something -- my life would be a lot easier!

Or maybe update the wave warning with the sensor to say "300 AI 2 Fighters to Planet *from Planet* in 5:00"

That'd be a good idea too, especially for Warp Guardian waves: "300 AI 2 ships to Murdoch from Deep Space" would certainly make it so I don't go nuts wondering why my AWS isn't showing me anything.

Good idea:

* The "active" wormholes shown when an advanced warp sensor is present are now shown in a bright yellow instead of the dull red, to avoid issues for red/green colorblind players.

Note also that the wormholes flash in the far zoom, I believe -- or at any rate, their icon is slightly different, so you can tell without zooming in or needing to see any colors.

Apparently they flash on the minimap. Which I often forget exists.

And the one on the far zoom, well, I don't recall ever seeing it flash or anything different, but often the icons are obscured by all the goodies I have near contentious wormholes.

Ah, that is true.

Apparently the far-zoom ones are actually still red.

If you hold the ctrl key the wormhole should show on top of your mines or turrets or whatever is on top of it.
