Hostile Vessel alerts

Dunno if this has been suggested before ...

>_<

Okay, yeah, I'm an idiot who plays too long and wear myself out playing, but ... really ... for the umpteenth time, one solitary enemy troop transport slipped past my defenses to a lonely colony I had. How about some kind of built-in alert when you are at war to mark when enemy ships are detected in the senor range of any of your ships/colonies/space stations?

Yeah, I know ... I'm learning more and more to zoom out on the main screen since the mini-map is all but useless for tracking enemy ships. >_<

Maybe just highlighting hostile (anyone you are at war with) sensor contacts on the minimap or make them flash or something.

it would be nice if all ships make a ripple effect (with color of the team) up to the grids that they can travel.

It will make it easier to maneuver ships as well.

or something like a Sensor Array building that increases the sensor range around a planet by +3 or something, i suppose you can get around this by having a sensor ship parked outside the planet but still...
