[Implemented] Gold Bar Trace

I suggest that any fleet that a player has that has gold bars in the cargo be marked in gold, or highlighted or somehow distinguished from the red numbers that current marks the 'total cargo' on the fleets/hq pages

its just that the moment a fleet starts moving, it immediately gets semi-hidden in other fleets with the same name/cargo number.

Why? Running out of gold coins?

This would ruin the sense of hitting a fleet , and not knowing what it has...
For example : Howker has joined the sea bottom during the battle. You looted all its cargo. This could get the person very excited , going to market page to see what cargo he/she/it had in her fleet...

Bumpity Bump.

If you're running 10 fleets, but only one of them has gold bars in it. It can, and does disappear into the group, and there's no way to tell which fleet has the bars in it.

Assuming you might want to pause, edit, or whatever a fleet because you mis-ordered it somehow, we'll there'd be no way to differentiate ur much more expensive boat from the ones carrying turnips and underpants.

considering that there is substantial reason to avoid demarcating your gold carrying fleet something differently from the others, like "This is Definitely the fleet you want to hit right now"

it would help alot, and be a rather easy fix to have any fleet carrying gold bars to have its cargo in Gold text instead of red text as you watch yer boats move around on the fleet menu.

if you called all your turnip fleets 'Man, this beggar is loaded down with bullion!'.. and the gold bar fleet 'Move along, nothing here.. honestly!' : then you would know, but it would confuse the enemy no end... but, I suppose your idea is more discrete... so +1.. or even +1

hence it will be safer that way

All fleets that carry at least 1 gold bar, now display a special Gold Bar icon in the Total Cargo column. Hovering your mouse over this icon, will tell you how many gold bars EXACTLY.

Same goes with ships.

Therefore, this icon can be found in:
-Fleets list
-Ships list
-Headquarter list
-Manage Fleet page
