A little indicator can go a long way

Managing and building stations.

In the My Property list, could the stations name be coloured differently depending on their current state.

A green station name would indicate the station is fully built and fully repaired.

A yellow station name would indicate some repairs are necessary.

A blue station name would indicate that the station is still under construction and has modules waiting to be built.

An orange station would indicate that a module is being constructed, but is currently waiting on resources.

colored station names are iirc no problem (you can simply use the \033*-color-tags in almost any string), but i think if this is done by EGO they should use another way, because if a Station Name were colored by a Mod this Indicator would disappear (last color defined has priority, therefore the ones in the name of an Object would override all externally applied colors)

Well how about adding a button to each station entry.

This only appears/is active if there are missions for the station. Clicking on the button will take me immediately to the mission manager and show all missions for the selected station.
