you know how on ground, under your name is your buff bar, listing your acive buffs......why not extend that to space to show your ships "buffs" (cap overload, reactor overload ect ect) and have a radial timer on the toolbar so you know at a glance when you can launch a new command.......just a few ideas i just had

I think it would be better to have these things listed in the ship component menu. I think presently it does show if the reactor is overloaded with an icon, but that's it.

Be nice if it showed on that ship status page, the "V" key I think.


There are a few clues though. Cap Overchage shows when the cap level is raised. Engine Overload when my speed kicks up, and somone pointed out the "Engine Efficiency" rating on the V screen - something like that - that shows up after running overload. Other than those, I have to check for decay on the reactor and weapons to see if those overloads ran.


What I want is a cooldown timer on overloads (or shield shunt) like we have on the ground.

You mean the animated clock-tick effect for the dirtside cooldowns?


I'm not sure I'd like that very much--we already have onscreen notification in form of a system message for when the droid commands have completed. I've just been figuring, "when my capacitor is back up to 850-900 charge, I'm just about ready to shunt again."

It's less for shunt, I can just about do that in my head after having the same DI for so long, but those longer programs it would just be a nice convenience. Ya know, so long as we get a wish list anyhow.

I would like to be able to see which ones I have loaded but I don't want it on the hud... too much stuff on it as it is

maybe change the icon color on the component condition bar to red or something might work. It would be on the hud but nothing new added to take up valuable space.
