Summary0021979: Permanent wave-like notification for instigator bases
DescriptionAfter seeing someone play that had about 10 untouched instigator bases alive, I figured that their importance and danger isn't well-communicated by the game. I think there should be a permanent notification similar to the Wave ones that displays as long as one or more instigator bases are alive. We could have one per base so the player feels the urgency mounting, or just a single notification updating each time one appears.

maybe add a multiplier to instiagator effect based on the total amount of instagator bases in the galaxy -- this would certainly make these hard to put off altogether

@zeusalmighty I doubt that'd help for players that are still somewhat new if their effect isn't communicated clearly, from what I've seen streamers just look at the AIP and say "huh, it's high" without understanding where it came from. Over time they might start suspecting it's from the instigator base, but realistically they already stopped playing by then.

I like the combination, the notifications underscore how severe these are if they are totally ignored.

This is a good "ironman" mode feature

It turns out I actually wrote this code almost a year ago but it seems to not be working now.

Edit: anyone have a save game with an instigator base I can use to test with?

There's now a Notification for each instigator base in the galaxy.
