Puffin, is this something you could experiment with tweaking? Feel free to assign this back to me if not...

Actually Chris I've set up new default colours for every faction, complete with "allegiance" trims like Eric was talking about, as an experiment. They seem good, so I'm likely putting them in.

Sentinels - Black
Warden - Gold
Hunter - Gray

All the other factions have their own ones too.

I lightened the black a bit, since it was hiding the shading in the icons and I figure people new might struggle to pick it out.

Yep, I think that sounds smart actually.

So the changes kind of got...really bad feedback. So I'll need to think about it again...

Oval, if you suggested a colour alteration that'd make this clearer for you, I can put it in - because I...actually don't see what you mean. I don't think I can make the Hunters red more red or anything, to my eyes at least. A Sentinel colour change maybe?

(If you want to that is! I could make the Sentinel shift a tad towards yellow to move it away from the red if that helps, still orange.

My problem was with the in-game icons. Look at AI War 2 Where's Waldo Hunter Fleet (1).jpg and AI War 2 Where's Waldo Hunter Fleet (4).jpg. See how they can pass for orange? That was what I had an issue with. I believe the problem was caused by the "thinness" of the Missile Corvette icon. Notice how the Fighter and bomber icons are big and wide, while the Missile Corvette icon is thin and short, taking up only half the allotted space of the Sidebar "tile". This might have been fixed with the new AI Triangle units since they take up more space, resulting in more red being shown.

I still don't confuse them, with the unit icon or the sidebar icon. I'm admittedly protanopia colourblind, but I've never had issues with red/orange. Even the Corvette icon I can differentiate with the colours...

I'll try shifting the default Sentinel away a little from as much red, see if that helps you.

This has been done again...shifted Sentinel default colour slightly away from red.

It occurs to me that I'm not the best person for this, being colourblind. Only a bit, but still.
