Summary0001790: Additional sub-icons for the Planetary Summary
DescriptionI've noticed there are just two types of sub-icons in the Planetary Summary, "Mobile" and "Immobile". It might be useful to add a few extra to help find what you want quickly.

My suggestions would be to distinguish between regular ships, Starships, and Engineering type units with different icons. I attached an image with some lazy examples of what I'm suggesting.

It might also help to distinguish between Turrets and other immobile buildings.


(As a side note for this screenshot, the Tachyon turrets are listed in the Green part of the list. Isn't this backwards of where they should be? All of the other turrets are in the Orange.)

There's actually four types: mobile military, immobile military, mobile nonmilitary, and immobile nonmilitary. I don't wish to add any more, as I feel like the more categories there are, the more difficulty it becomes to parse the categories, and you may as well not have the categories at all.
