Tip: Change system backgrounds to solid black for better visibility

[Alneyan]

I will retrofit this thread in "How to counter all of Slynky's dirty little tricks" then. *Smirks*

Alter any shipset you find too difficult to see. Put the images of another, clear shipset in the directory of the offending shipset. Remove the pictures of the actual shipset, and change the name of all the "mini" pictures (or you may need to change all of them for the shipset to work). And voilà! No more problems of squinting to see where Slynky is sending ships! Granted, things do become a bit confusing when there are six EEE Empires, nine evil EEE shipsets and a couple of Regency ones, but...

Alternatively, you could just put a few shipsets in your shipset directory, if you do not mind having a lot of similar Empires. And by the looks of it, an incomplete shipset calls generic pictures to fill in the gaps. So I guess that only altering one picture of a shipset may invalidate it, forcing the game to use the default shipset. But you would have to ask someone knowledgeable about how shipsets are handled by the game.
