Issue with Color Blind Mode

[Cutch]

I appreciate that fact that the game has an option in the graphics settings to help color blind players. As one of the 20% of the population lucky enough to need this, thank you very much for the consideration! However, I have noticed some issues with it's implementation, which may possibly relate to a bug introduced in the past few patches.

 

The colorblind option appears to change two things during battle:

1. The color of ship names in a combat instance
2. The color of the ship icons on the battle instance map ('M' key)

The problem is that when colorblind mode is disable, I can see enemy ships on the battle instance map, but I have a hard time distinguishing hostile/friendly names above ships at sea in a combat instance since the blue and green names looks very similar. However, with colorblind mode enabled, I can distinguish names just fine, but enemy ships vanish completely from my battle instance map! I think they are a red-on-gray-background which is essentially invisible to players with common types of colorblindness. As it is now, I have to pick between losing the ability to evaluate the tactics of a battle in the map, or being prone to broadsiding my own fleet mates. The combat map thing is fairly newish, as it looked fine a few weeks ago.

 

Another issue is enemy ship names in the open world: the red name/nation is difficult to make out on the dark background. If this could be tweaked in colorblind mode, it'd relieve some eye strain.

 

Thanks!

The issue with color blind and invicible enemy ships is a known one and will be fixed in one of the next patches
