Feature request: Tooltips/infoscreen

Post by IMSabbel »

Just two little details...
Im new to XTA, so i think it would help if there was some equivalent to the f1 key of Total Annihilation. I know that selecting a unit will show its range/hp, but a little screen with maximum speed, maximum slope, turning rate, eventually a list of the weapons would be nice...
Yeah, i know that the "pros" will think that useless, but when running into things like all those mods it can be very usefull, IMHO.
(Also, this would solve the problem that one cannot get a info screen of units one cant select (i.e. Enemy ones). Its annoying having to track a flying plane with the curser for example to get the HP or Type info.

Also, it seems there is no tooltip when selecting to reclaim/ ressurect wreckage... Sometimes it really not obvious from what that stuff came from, so it might be usefull to show (as soon as one gets the reclaim/resurrect icon) what actually is under the curser/how much it is worth
