Show recovery percentage on "Recover Vessel" button

[cubinator]

We get a different amount of recovered Funds in career mode based on distance from KSC. Why not show the percentage of cost recovered on the Recover Vessel button that appears when you mouse over the altimeter when recovery is possible? It could be as simple as this:

[Recover Vessel (xx% \F)]

where xx is the percentage of recovered cost at the current location. I thought it might be a useful thing to know.

IMO it'll just create clutter on screen.

Those who care about funds/reusability land at KSC. Those, who always land at other side of the planet will see like 20% recover value. And so what? Not recover the wreck craft?

Or hold F9 and try the landing again.

Yes. It's a simple way of communicating the game mechanic and how it works at the time when you are most likely to want to know.

A potential compromise would be to have it toggleable in settings and possibly in the cheat debug menu. Personally, I think there's enough space for it and it'd be a useful bit of information to have readily available.

I support this, particularly after I've decided that I can and will use KSC2 to recover vessels.

It would have made it simpler to find out where exactly I can get the 98% and 100% recoveries, which are possible there.... miss the boundry by a few meters, and you suffer a big recovery hit
