- Proposal
- Create a means to display all active persistent Droid Commands (Overloads, Tunings, Shield Adjusts) within the UI, either on the main screen HUD, or within the ship component view (V)
- Justification
- As there are several things that can inadvertently deactivate droid commands, adding this functionality would assist spacers in making sure everything is running appropriately with their ship prior to entering combat, just as with ground content and the buff bar visible to those players.
- Motivation
- Currently, the only way to judge whether a given command is running is by monitoring the effect they have on the ships systems (i.e., seeing the capacitor bar overcharged beyond the standard limit for your capacitor). However, many things can cause overload commands to fall off, such as repairing at a station after jumping to a new system. A visual indication of active commands would allow people to verify at a glance that all things are running as intended before going into combat.
While experienced spacers may be able to easily tell at a glance from the behavior of their ship components, a visual indicator would still be an asset to verify things are working as intended. This would also make it easier for new players to monitor their command usage.
