TL;DR
It would be very useful to have a quick way to tell which platforms have been assigned which logistic request groupings.
What?
Perhaps on mouseover it could just say "Other platforms using this grouping," kind of like how the train interface has an "other trains with this stop" interface.
Why?
To be fair, this is more of an issue caused by my own lack of organization, and my not immediately intuiting how this system was working, but surely I can't be the only one who has ran into this kind of issue.
As it stands now, logistic request groupings are shared globally between all platforms. Now, I didn't realize this and I thought that it was just specific to each platform. I found out the hard way when I had made edits to one group that, unbeknownst to me, I had assigned to another platform. That other platform almost didn't make its trip several hours later, since I had deprived it of ammunition it depended on getting supplied while dropping off its cargo at Nauvis, or something to that effect.
I perhaps would have set these logistic request groupings up more thoughtfully had I known that they were globally updated rather than platform specific. I probably still should really sit down and think harder about what I want them to accomplish, since right now, it's a total mess.
In any case, that fiasco where the other platform almost didn't make it because I changed its requests unknowingly wouldn't have happened if I had been aware of which other platforms had been assigned that logistic request grouping. Ideally some kind of tooltip or interface would also specify which other platforms have been assigned that grouping--there surely will be times where I'll want to edit the requests globally after all.
