Please make strcutures such as stations, asteroids, etc, look different in the minimap because sometimes (manytimes actually!!!) you need to get ASAP to a friendy base under attack and the base is surrounded by a lot a wrecks of friendly units and unless you have the targeting system you don't know excatly where to head. The case is worse if you are the one in trouble and desperatly need repairs. There is a third, and more complicated case, when you have powerfull weapons you can destroy a Sung Citadel by moving over it and start firing. This saves a lot of ammo and fuel because once the citadel is dead the enemy reinforcements stop comming and you can take your time to kill the remaining defenders. Buf if you fail to locate the structure and stop in the first pass you'll be probably dead before you have time to attempt a second pass. This is worse because in the minimap the stucture is a dot the same size of those of ships and wrecks. Sung Frotresses scape to the rule because they look like the 5 on a dice.

Also wrecks may have a different color from "alive" ships because in a long range attack to a structure a ship gets in the way and gets killed blocking the path of the rounds and it's hard to tell between several red dots if you are hitting the one you want. Again the targeting system is a partial solution to the issue.
