Ok, the obvious one is the red border (when in the overall map screen) to let you know just which map-block is where a mission is.
However, I've noticed a Yellow border here and there and have no idea what is means if anything. Most commonly it's on a BraveStar zone map-block.
Anyone else noticed this and know what it means? Or just a bug/glitch?

I think that shows zones affected by taxi lockdowns.

I'll check on that, but I don't see the yellow that frequently, and rarely have had a taxi shutdown. And when I do, I don't recall the border. I'll have to play around and confirm

Yellow is a taxi shutdown.
What are the thoughts on adding other colors? Maybe we should just get some water mark graphics ("TAXI SHUTDOWN" ... "MATRIX SHUTDOWN") that we toss over top. Thoughts?

I think that red was the wrong colour to pick for 'have a job there' because that is the logical colour for 'no taxi'.
My big complaint about the 'no taxi' is that if you get the yellow border you don't get the 'You are here' marker that shows where your destination is (assuming the taxi can find it at all). But I want it _especially_ then, because I have to decide whether to taxi to 1 square N S E or W of the locked zone, and where I want to go is dependent on where the job is.

grävling - #CK-2184 to get that marker back! I don't think any color specifically says "no taxi" to me.

Another vote here for watermarks. Preferably one for each type - no taxi, no comms/matrix/etc
Either that, or if you have a known rumor for a zone, a blurb or symbol shows up somewhere (such as a watermark) so you can plan a bit better. With rumors only in one place, and if you don't KNOW all the names of the zones cold, it can be a lot of going back and forth to check once, much less double or triple check

Alex Fury - thanks for the vote! A watermark is very nice as it gives us the screen space to differentiate each very clearly, and with text and not just color.

Much better now! |
