Summary	0021540: Minor faction/controlling faction galaxy map confusion
Description	So I'm realizing right now that the game currently prioritizes showing planet colours with a special faction's influence over the actual planet owner. For example, if I have Friendly Marauders on, right now a planet that I own that also has friendly marauder outposts has the name appear with the minor faction colour. I keep getting confused as to whether it's my planet or not. In theory I can look at the colour of the planet, but that's a much smaller icon, and in practice I find myself wanting to just check the colour of the planet name. Unfortunately, if I switch it to make it show the Controlling Faction's colour (instead of the special faction's colour) then the galaxy map doesn't communicate to me that a minor faction is also present. I'm not sure what a good solution to this is. Any ideas? I could set it to say "Planet Name (Minor Faction WIth Influence)" but that would clutter things
