Agreed Fyron, but in a large game (100 planets up) I can imagine that some one in a hurry will overlook the vessel little vessel in the corner (I do this often myself)

Not really because unless the system has other alien ships in it will show an alien presence on the galaxy map in that system  |

Re: Tip: Change system backgrounds to solid black for better visibility
how about this,.. replace the 'mini' pics of the ships with different sized asteroid cluster bitmaps. When the enemy enters a system, they will just think it has a bunch of asteroid fields. (hehehe, boy will they get a surprise when they try to mine them.  )
It might even take them a few turns before they realise that some of the asteroid fields are moving.
Cheers! |

It's a bit though in a 20 player game to sneak into 19 houses over the world to change the bitmaps... |
