Summary0022722: Identify exos more clearly
DescriptionWould be nice if exo ships are colored / highlighted differently, and/or announced where they were launching from. I see a lot of announcements about exos in hack responses, and I think I've figured out that the piles of guardians that I sometimes see are probably the exos in question, but it's not immediately clear as they don't have their own highlighting.

This might be more important with the Fallen Spire coming up.

I'm not sure what the visual side of things would be, but you can check if a unit is in an exo by calling
if ( entity.ExoGalacticAttackTarget.GetSquad() != null )
     //this unit is in an exo

Perhaps change the trim colour?

Note that a unit in an exo starts life in that Exo, then can drop out of the exo later and just become a generic AI ship.

I was thinking trim color, yeah, and 'strikeforce' or 'exo' in the tooltip instead of threat / hunter / warden.
