Army/Unit Tracker

I have spent a lot of time watching SupCom and Starcraft 2 replays.
One big thing I noticed was that SupCom casters cannot easily find army info (he he have anti nuke? does he have a t3 factory? What is his current mass income?)
The Starcraft 2 replay system, has a unit tracker on the top left of the screen showing what's on the field or what is being built/researched.

Will the Chrono Cam replay have a similar set of tools?




In fact, I would go so far as to suggest that the same tool can be used in-game to help manage your own armies like in Sins of a Solar Empire.


It could be a floating toolbar similar to the Commander and Idle Engineers buttons in SupCom.
Highly accessible, but not intrusive, maybe with a simple pop-out to expand if necessary.
(If that was coded in, I think it will help things scale up down the line)?


I feel it would really give the player a good sense of control over his army.


And like everything else, a toggle to turn it off would keep everybody happy.

Forget replays, I want these tools available in game to begin with.

Agreed knight. Some of this sort of information would be amazingly useful to view mid game.

Yup, properly conveying such information through the UI, especially across planets, will be invaluable. Some replay-exclusive features are important too though, for example quick player comparisons

Well, I for one plan to make a SoaSE-style empire tree ui module, if nothing like it is available.

Is that a mod?

You play SupCom/FA unmodded?

Most people do (Kinda).

I do... But I don't play online. Never have, really.

yes, I think it was an older mod that no longer works on FAF (because similar mods could be used to cheat)
