Greetings, fellow Space Travelers.

As a disclaimer I beg my pardon, beforehand, if this has already been discussed or suggested. As a non-forumite I cannot be entirely certain, but a quick search led me to believe it has not.

As you can see, the state of affairs being is that you have hover your mouse over the mini-fleet-icons on the galaxy map in order to get any details about your, your allies or your enemies fleet in any given system. This leads to confusion and irritation as it is no way to discern the enemy blob from that bugged enemy AI construction ship while glancing at the galaxy map, for example. Again, you have to hover your mouse over all systems until you find that one slightly powerful ally fleet among the uplifted rabble fleets.

My suggestion simply is add to the mini-fleet-icon an indication of how many ships reside in a system. Either it be by just a number of ships or firepower doesn't really matter. The more important thing is to be able to get a glancing overlook using the galaxy map, as it is confusing to watch and surely confusing to play having to "find" fleets.

Thank you, and Safe Travels.
