When in combat, I don't always notice the text message about the destruction of an allied ship. Or in big fleets I just loose track. Or I don't know if my fighters are in repair or lost.
I think for all those situations it would be handy to be able to view disabled or destroyed ships during combat. The little reinforcement window you bring up via tacmap or with "g" would be a suitable place. It could be visible either below or above the current infos:





Thoughts?

maybe even just have them in the deployed tab with a red tint or greyed out or something...

This would be especially useful in those pesky missions...

I tried to grey them out in the mockup, is it not visible?

[Faiter119]

I think something like a red cross or moving the ships to a different tab would be the most effective.

Maybe it would be simplest to write the function of a field in the field.

Yeah that there looks perfect.

Yeah, it'd be nice to see what I let die through my stupidity/tunnel vision.

Pictures not displaying for me, but from what I understand, when you press g (In combat) the reinforcement screen will show which ships are disabled/repairing in carrier/destroyed.

Very helpful, you have my vote.

Anyone else with that problem? What browser are you using?


I think it's not necessary to show fighters in repair separately. If they are not on the battlefield or in the disabled list they have to be in repair. And I don't discriminate between disabled/destroyed for simplicity's sake. Other then that, you got it right.

It's not a big deal, probably because I popped on a safeguard (got tired of random naughty ads). From my understanding it blocks anything remotely resembling a picture. I'll leave it, because it's more helpful than it seems. You'd be surprised.

As for just showing disabled, I think in this case simplicity is best.

Just as a little extra: the reinforcement font could change color depending whether you can afford reinforcements at the moment or not.
