[UI Improvement] Armor-Battery Power Details

Post by AenAllAin »

TL;DR
Add a way to see more detailed information about the status of the battery and power for your armor.

What ?
In reference to the power for my suit of armor, I love (a) not knowing how much power I have when full, (b) that my battery and power source are not broken when one of my modules is being charged first, (c) what my power usage over time versus my power production is. However, I can see how these things might annoy a lesser man. So maybe a way to get more information could be added.

Anything like,
  • a readout when hovering over the battery icon (e.g. showing current total power as a live number, or something else)
    a way to view the armor power grid through the normal power grid UI
    a second, or bipartite status bar showing the power-delta/power-potential (how much power we are using or generating on a scale of our total current ability to generate power)
Why ?
It would be nice information to have, make the armor power situation a bit more interactive, and it gives a certain level of polish and refinement to the game having all these little details.
