| Summary | 0009220: Have a way to always see the range of specific units | ||||
| Description | Whenever I'm running into the miner-missions in the Ancient Shadows sidemissions, I constantly check to make sure I don't stray too far into the range of the bases (after all, those things chew through my shields crazy fast). This can be extremely time consuming, especially since I have to hover my mouse over the base, check its range, then move my ship and hope I remembered where the range ended. Add a second base nearby, and it becomes even more annoying. What I would like is if you could hover your mouse over a unit and press a key-combo, and after that it would always display the range of that unit until the key-combo was repeated (or perhaps a separate key-combo). That way I could mark all the bases and have a much easier time knowing where I should and shouldn't go. | ||||

Is holding Z+X not good enough in that situation? I haven't played the expansion yet, so I'm not sure how busy those maps get, but from what I've seen they don't seem to have a ton of different units flying around. |

Unfortunately, even though there are only perhaps 20 enemy units around at any one time, they all tend to congregate around the bases, meaning it's hard to know which of the dotted circles belong to the base and which belong to the units. |

I see. I think it would be better as a settings toggle similar to the one that controls grav well ring display, which would have a fixed list of (very powerful immobile) units like Starbases and Forts. |
