Hoping someone on the dev team will take notice...

Please DON'T make the "circle objective" color a light/pale color that blends in with the map...

    That is especially an issue on beige-colored maps like Nopada Prime in "Coliseum".

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    I'm slightly red green colour blind, often the only way for me to find the objective is to drag my mouse over the entire map untill the tool tip pops up. Huge pain in the rear

    I support this thread.

    When I did the story missions on Bajor the first time I kept getting lost and wondered why the heck there was no guidance on the map, until I looked closer and zoomed in..

    The ultimate solution would be to let the players set their own preferences for the map objective overlays I think. At the very least there should be a bit more distinct border on those circles.

    Something I just discovered: if you make the mission in progress "Primary", the objective circle turns yellow-orange. Much easier to see.
