TL;DR
Platform requested item inflight indicator
What?
When item requested by platform is iflight (left planet but not yet arrived at platform), if player manually sets platfoM to go to another planet, it will not go untill item inflight arrives. This is a bit confusing. We need a good indicator why is not going where player wants it.

Feature Exists, in at least three different places:

• Platform Hub shows "Waiting for Rocket to Arrive"
• Yellow Status indicator, displays en-route requests when Hovered
• Active Request is highlighted in Yellow
• When the Cargo Pod reaches the "orbital" part of the Procession animation a Hatch will open on the Platform to receive it

Good Luck!

But nothing is flashing
