These are the base colours for the I.F.F. system, which shows ships on the scanner in the following colours, depending on the type index for this ship (as returned by the iff_index routine). The base colours determine the colour of the dot, as well as the underlying colour of the stick (which can be striped, depending on the corresponding EOR colour from iff_xor). The colours for the normal dashboard palette are: Index Dot colour Stick colour(s) Ship types 0 Green Green Clean 1 Yellow Yellow Station tracked 2 Green Green and yellow Debris 3 Yellow Yellow and red Missile 4 Green Green and red Offender/fugitive The colours for the escape pod dashboard palette are: Index Dot colour Stick colour(s) Ship types 0 Cyan Cyan Clean 1 White White Station tracked 2 Cyan Cyan and white Debris 3 White White and red Missile 4 Cyan Cyan and red Offender/fugitive
