If I switch to the map in space, every ship is a red blip, that's not consistent with my rep status for that ship, and it makes confusion by not telling me where the nearest enemy ship is. I propose to make green spots for friendly ships, blue spots for neutral ones and red spots for enemies.
It's a good idea, but I suggest making yellow or white the color for neutral to be more readily distinguishable from friendly green. Although, I suppose if it were a very light blue, like the pilot's HUD, that would be alright. I'm thinking about those of us with vision challenges such as myself.
