Resources Overview


Recommended Posts

Especially after adding contextual contracts, I find it a bit tedious to fully load a spacecraft every time to estimate if it still has enough fuel for a given maneuver.

Therefore, I guess it would be useful to show the resources of a given vessel directly in the tracking station, either via mouseover or as a new button under the information and crew buttons on the right hand side.

(btw, I've searched for "fuel tracking", "fuel overview", "resources tracking" and "resources overview" - the two final ones also with "ressources" until I found out how to write that word - and didn't find anything similar)

That would require to compute to some degree the resource production/usage for crafts that are not loaded, for respecting ISRU (other than the current way, compute everything on loading). But that should be included in some point anyway. I am also for this idea.

I don't really do resources but the suggestion seems logical so I'll throw my support to it.

They could just calculate the time at which it would be full and store that value when the craft goes on rails for later presentation. This would be a much more CPU efficient way to do it.

I think the OP is referring to resources in general, not just ISRU stuff. Basically being able to see the resource panel for a ship from the tracking center, if I am understanding it correctly.

You are. Fuel, Oxidizer, Electricity, and all the Interstellar ressources that'll probably require the devs of that mod to find an alternative solution if the resource overview should become a thing.

Ah, well I'm not sure how that would be useful for anything other than ISRU but I'm not going to complain about more information in this game. :P

Well, it might mean the difference in Career mode between launching a new mission to complete a contract, or re-purposing an existing vehicle.
