Comment 3 for bug 802432

> what makes you believe that it should be white?

Because in the message window "A new Headquarters shipwreck was added to your economy" a shipwreck with nice white sails was shown.

> It is your ship after all.

OK, now I understand the intention of the blue color. But I really thought it was a bug because, unfortunately, in the current implementation it looks like a blue hole punched into the screen. There are two solutions to this issue:
 1) use "playercolor=false" in tribes/empire/headquarters_shipwreck/conf (the blue flag in front of the ship wreck still shows me that it is my ship)
 2) use less aggressive colorization of the sail

I tried both proposals (see attached screenshot). The simpler and IMHO optically nicer solution is probably (1).
