FQM Reactions

Shang, I belive the path-finding fuciton would still use these WPs... maybe even cloaked.

Although that's a great idea.

Warp points can never be masked or cloaked. This is a hardcoded enforcement.

If you give them an all-black graphic, you can still locate them by clicking around on the map to find them, and the galaxy map still shows the WP lines. And the path-finding will still work, as Loser mentioned.

IF, I think FMQ is one of the greatest additions to SEIV (along with AIC/Proportions). Keep up the good works....

The only thing annoying about FQM maps is a failure of SE4 in that you have to go hunt for planets and colonies that are moons. IT would be nice if SE4 was patched so that it showed the green asterix if the planet or any of it's moons had a breathable atmosphere. And if it would put your flag beside the sector if you had a colony on a moon. its really annoying having to click around to look for the good planets or you colonies.

Or enemy colonies!

There is an empire option to display planet names in system view. This makes those moons hiding behind gas giants and asteroids stand out. It doesn't help with hunting for empty planets, or enemy colonies, but you can find your own colonies easily enough.

I usually build point defense satellites so when they're launched it helps you to remember which moons are colonized. Well, for the most part.
