Sorry to put again the subject on the table, but really ... Civilian ships are a great asset of the game (this is simply cool to have a civilian sector!) but I really miss a display option where they are only shown as dot+move trail, without any writing. With writing, everything is cluttered, and masking them in the contact window makes you lose sense you have civilian ships moving like busy bees in your 'empire'.
So, if this is not too much to ask for this additional checkbox and underlying filter, that would be great for the enjoyment of the game. Not only for me I think
