Problem: colors of the stars

[Nardi]

I am colorblind, not totally but its hard to tell whitch one is red and whizch is green or orange/yello..

The colors of the stars seems to change when i set a filter in the starmap.
Whitch filter has the best colors? And how did colors work for conflict filter or lifeform or economy?

What do you mean best color?
The filter shows you different things, for example the race filter will show all systems owned by hykeen to be red, regardless of what color the actual star has.

There is no Galaxy map filter for star colors/colours. This is the best guide I have seen so far.

but indeed... that system is really bad for colorblind peeps....
But (and sorry it won't help you much) somewhat it's bad too for peeps not beeing colorblind (at least for stars colors) IMO... so that says a lot.

Filters for non colorblind are much better, but if memory serves, most colors used may be indeed painful to separate.

And I haven't seen any setting to change for "colorblind"

You should really drop a ticket to HG and bring that up

The game doesn't have colorblind options so not much anyone can do to help but I can answer your questions about what colors are used and how.

The default filter of the map uses four colors: yellow for (normal) yellow star systems, red for (cadmium) red star systems, green for (emeril) green star systems, blue for (indium) blue star systems. A good way to know if a system is yellow is if you set your path to the galactic center only yellow systems will be on the path.

The Lifeform filter uses the colors: red for Vykeen systems, yellow for Gek systems, and blue for Korvax systems, and also white for non inhabited systems (usually the red/blue/green star systems).

The economy filter has a lot more variants so I won't bother trying to list them all and since if you have an economy scanner anyway you can just read the economy info, same goes for conflict.

Hopefully that helps or HG thinks to put colorblind options in the game for those with your condition.

That really helps, thank you all

I also have this issue - will play a bit with the filters to see if I can quickly spot the different types.

On another issue (also colour related) - If you are not colourblind, can you see (when your scanner is up) if you have scanned a planetary object (flora, fauna etc) already? Animals are a little easier to spot with a filled in dot - but minerals and plants I cannot tell.

Sometimes, it seems like there might be a different overlay colour for unscanned items - but I only see that rarely - or maybe I'm imagining it. So I usually look at the info box on the left to see if I have scanned or not - just slows things down a bit, but have been wondering for a while if it just me that can't tell from the overlay colour alone.
