* surveyed
*colonized
Right now, you cant at a glance tell if a planet has been surveyed or colonized.You need to click on the planet.

Re: planet icons on system maps need icons for
I feel like we already do this.
If the planet is unsurveyed, you get the purple (?) symbol. Zoomed out, you get purple dots on the huds for surveyed. Zoomed in, you don't get an indication for gas giants or asteroids if they are surveyed on not, but we have a bigger issue that there is no purpose in surveying them at this time (ticket already exists for that) Zoomed in habitable moons have the same purple (?) symbol if unsurveyed.
When colonized, a faction emblem is added to the planet. There are to faction emblems shown when space/planet are not both owned by the same faction.

Re: planet icons on system maps need icons for
Yup,soon as you put up a spacedock, the purple ? goes away and you get a planet icon
At this point ,you cant tell if the planet has been colonized OR surveyed without clicking on it.

Re: planet icons on system maps need icons for
I just noticed that in the latest dev build, building a space dock makes the planet surveyed.
If it's colonized, you get a faction flag. If not, you get one of the symbols about what's on the planet (Agri/Ore, Just Ore, Uninhabitable, etc.)

i tried to save the game, game became non-responsive for about 1 minute...then i opened load game to make sure game saved and it was usable,tried to load game,game went no-responsive then eventually crashed to desktop.Trying to get the save game to load now..

I take it the savegame still doesn't load properly?
Where are we at on the icons?

The (?) goes away because the space dock survey's the planet. It's not colonized because you don't see a faction symbol, you get one of the planet identifier icons (Uninhabitable, Life bearing, etc.)

Re: planet icons on system maps need icons for
The save is good as i far i as know,its loads fine if a bit slow.
Ill put a pic up showing whet i see icon wise for a planet thats NOT colonized,but that ive put a space port in orbit around.Might be a day or so.
