| Summary | 0020603: Incorrect energy unit in GUI | ||||
| Description | The power unit at the top is in kilowatts whereas the GUI (probably incorrectly) shows gigawatts as the power unit for ships. | ||||

The correct unit is GigaWatts. It looks like the top just says ##.#k rather than ##.#k GW, with the K just standing in for 3 zeroes. |
|
|
To reduce confusion the GW notation should be removed and units should show the energy amount in ##.#k only. Alternatively the top panel should show GW after the k. |
|
|
1000 Watts is 1 kilowatt, 1000 gigawatts is not 1 kilo giga watt, but 1 terawatt. It is confusing to use the prefix k, which traditionally refers to kilowatts, to refer to thousand gigawatts. This is definitely confusing. |
|
|
Agree, I found this confusing |
|
|
Ah, thanks for letting us know. |
|
|
In general, we just use the abbreviations for the numbers, consistently in the interface. k for thousands of whatever the unit is, m for millions of the units in question. I think the consistency is important for most players. |
