Um. Changing the color in the UI would NOT be hard. Come on. Change the color from 0.0, 0.1, 0.7 (which is a kinda pale blue with a little green) to anything else. Unless they're loading a texture, in which case it would be a simple matter to just provide other ui textures.
Its possible, however, that the option to change the ui color is there, and just no one has mentioned it yet.
It is not a simple task to change the UI. We're not doing procedural coloration here, but a proprietary UI kit that uses image files in a really kind of tricky way. I've told folks before that they could 'mod' the UI shell if they want to, but be prepared for a world of time and grief in doing so. There are currently over 300 texture files being used in a very specific formatting process to make up the UI.
Simple? No. Time consuming, hell yes.
I'll forgive you the error of your assumptions however, seeing as you're from Walla Walla.

Boy, that sure sounds stupid. I hope this guys build just had a bug or something.
That's just *Wrong*, not even a bug -- because it DOES NOT work that way.
I don't know if the Gamespot author was on meds when he previewed the game or what, but I've seen more incorrect or inaccurate statements than reliable ones.
1) If you have a non-aggression pact or alliance with someone, you can "safely" have ships in each other's systems -- you won't even be ABLE to fight each other unless the agreements are broken, and you certainly won't be blockading each others planets. I don't know where this guy got the idea from, because it never even did this in the earliest of beta builds. You will blockade someone you're only *neutral* with (no agreement, but no sanctions or war either); maybe that's what he was thinking of.
2) Combat is NOT decided beforehand based purely on comparative firepower. He clearly didn't fight any combats big enough to judge fairly. Those of you that have read some of the AARs on the IG forums know what I'm talking about. Tactics can make a WORLD of difference this time around.
There are more problems with that preview, but that's enough for now. This is why I stopped using Gamespot for any meaningful insights into games LONG before they started charging for access.
Hi there Xentax,
I was wondering if there was anyway I could post again at the IG forums, because I was kicked last week by Sencho. I made a remark about Chantz and his Greek Ancestry, and generalized Greeks as biased agaisnt Turks (which is not too far off the mark, because I'm half Greek, and my grandparents are pretty biased against Turks!), and then I sort of remarked that he himself looked a little Turkish, and so he probably loathed himself for it....I wasn't trying to be mean derogatory or anything. Anyways, that was about a week and a half ago. So could you make it happen? By the way, no warning or red flag letting me know to cool it?
