TL;DR

When placing a radar (ghost) through map view, show the coverage of the radar

What ?

Currently, when placing a radar you can see its coverage on the minimap, this is very good, however, you cannot see the coverage of a potential radar that you may place via map view on the map you are using to place it, you should be able to see the coverage that a radar would have when placing a ghost of it

Why ?

Because it is the natural next step and almost feels like an oversight, this would also benefit large blueprints that need to be placed from map-view and contain radars

Seconded.

I have a blueprint of two radars at exactly their coverage range specifically to work around this.
