Enhance battle outcome screen
« on: March 24, 2015, 03:47:40 PM »

1. Currently, in missions this screen displays enemy ships' state after the battle, but not player's ones. All player's ships are shown at 100% hull and armor. And in simulation, we don't have even that. Displaying this info for player's fleet will help evaluate battle outcome in detail.

2. It would be helpful to have various battle stats for both sides, such as:
  • Casualties, by rank
  • Total armor, in numbers and %, and compared to that before the battle
  • Total hull integrity, same as above
  • Damage dealt & taken, by type
  • Rockets/torpedoes fired, hits and misses, by rocket type
  • Total CR lost, expressed in suplies needed to recover.
  • Total CR lost due to extended deployment, expressed in suplies needed to recover.

This info will help to evaluate and compare effectiveness of different ships variants, fleet compositions and tactics.

3. Add option to copy battle report to clipboard for sharing and discussion. Several levels of detail would be handy.

Edit: clarification.

Debriefing and post-combat analysis are both very important. I'm not sure what level of detail would be appropriate, but more than what we have now is definitely desirable.
