[Feature request] Shield icon on fleet defended shipyards and starbases in starbases list

Currently a planet that is defended by a fleet has a shield icon over the planet icon in the colonies list (on the right hand side of the main view).

If possible i would like to see the same shield over the (currently blank) starbase/shipyard icon in the starbases list when a defending fleet is present.

And maybe even the stats (Beam, Missile, Kinetic, Shield, Point Defense, Armor - like those in the fleet info panel) of the fleet could be squeezed in. This would also be useful in the colonies list.

This to facilitate the planning of where to send additional ships for defense.

That's odd because on my starbases that I dock for defense show a shield icon as well as shipyards. In fact this morning I plopped down a military starbase a bit into the territory of the corrupt Terran empire and then quickly piled up some snipers in it. This gave me the 'shield' icon and from there I stage invasions.

The starbases/shipyards in the main view itself do show a little yellow shield above the bases.

I am talking about the starbases list on the right hand side of the main view.

Larsenex, if you can actually see starbase icons there, then there is something horrible wrong with my game installation. In the planet list i do actually see icons representing the planets, but not in the starbases list.
