It's the year 2200. Our spacefaring civilization has made a wonderful technological breakthrough of being able to apply filters to our sensor data! Planets across the empire rejoice hailing it the single most important technology of their time!

One of the first applications of this new technological marvel is to filter out all unneeded data during a time of war. Only war participant fleets are displayed in our galaxy overlay. In addition, enemy systems with known installations, such as a population center or an orbital mining facility are shown, too. Lastly, and perhaps one of our greatest practical use of this wonderful filtering technology is to highlight and ping enemy fleets, much like our scientists do with tracked anomalies.

We have no doubt that this new filtering technology will take us boldly into future.

You need to travel to a more distant world to find that.

As for pinging enemy fleets, at least the colored fleet icons on the map and tooltips provide info if examining the galaxy map.

And before pinging enemy fleets (and necessarily showing areas with sensor coverage at the same time so it makes sense, I'd like for friendly ones to be mega-pinged on the galaxy map when first selected in Outliner! But that's a different suggestion.
