Why do both (all) sides in tactical combat have red range rings? |

I like having the range rings for several reasons, like keeping my ships out of a planets range while I am lining them up. And sometimes its the only way to locate the small ships on the map. It starts to get very messy when the ships close in combat. I don't think it be too hard to have 2 different colors. Yellow isn't used for anything I know of in tactical. And having thiner rings would prevent large swaths of red when several ships are close together.

Can you mod it? Probably not since it can be a different size, and anyhow it would apply to all cases. I modded a few things, such as the image used to highlight sectors.

What about using the main color in their flag?
What about using the color for the rings like in the space simulator (empire 1 is red, #2 is blue, etc)?
