Show total supplies needed for repair/recovery
« on: November 16, 2021, 05:12:17 AM »

I think I made similar suggestions in the past, but I still think its one of the most glaringly missing QoL features: please let the supply use tooltip show how many supplies will be used in total for ongoing repair & CR recovery work. Ideally, it would warn you (flash red?) if that number is higher than the amount of supplies you carry.

That stat is, after all, the most important factor when deciding whether to halt ongoing repairs (or turn for a port). It would be immensely helpful to not have to guesstimate it.

Don't you already see that in the fleet screen? It's located to the left, a bit to the top as well. Not the most elegant place to put it but at least it's there. Ideally you should be able to just hover above the supplies bar and see the number there.

Wow, I completely missed / forgot about that. Yeah, I think it would fit well into the tooltip.
