Summary0024891: It's hard to find which Spire City you are upgrading
DescriptionThe card that upgrades a spire city shows only its name.
Every time I have to search all of my Spire Cities and find the one with the same name.
- The card should also include the name of the planet where the Spire City is located.
- When your mouse is over the card, the planet with the Spire City should get highlighted in the galaxy view.
- You should be able to filter Spire Cities by their name in the Find Unit filter of the galaxy view
TagsNo tags attached.

The spire city logic is going to be very significantly reworked on the beta branch. Hopefully that will alleviate this problem.

I've attached a patch that add the planet name to the city upgrade text, which appears both in the upgrade notification, and the Spire Hub tooltip. The name is perhaps slightly superfluous in the later, but it probably isn't worth trying to differentiate the two.

At least in the latest beta (3.712), the planet does get highlighted when you hover over the upgrade card.

I don't think it makes sense for the "Find Unit" filter to find spire cities based on names, since it is the *fleet* not the unit that has that name. However, in the latest beta, if you hover over the fleet in the sidebar (which are now helpfully grouped under "City Centers"), it will also highlight the planet it on. It would be possible to add a "Find Fleet", though I'm not sure how useful that would be compared to the fleet tab.

Everything but searching for them via Find Unit is implemented.

However, with cities being separate for spire fleets now, you should be able to use the Fleet sidebar to find them easily now as well.
