[REQ] Unit Counter on Unit Cannon.

Please could we have a counter to show how many units are in the Unit Cannon?

How about a bar along the bottom that shows how full something that uses constructed ammo (AKA nuke launcher, anti-nuke and UC) is?

Anti-nuke has a nice indication but needs to differentiate between "complete" and "in-progress". Same can be said for nukes and, if added, a unit cannon counter.

As the Unit Cannon has 15 slots it'd need to be easy to read at a glance.

A cartridge type image with three groups of five individual slots which become coloured when full would be quick to read. People are used to dealing in groups of 5 with shift-click building.

+1 to this idea. hard to tell when the unit Cannon is full

White Bar with segments in between each unit indicated.
There need to be other changes to the unit cannon I would like to see as well.

Well in that case another system.. For instance a 'clockface' which fills up around the Unit Cannon icon or something.

Agreed...
For instance it would be lovely if we could line up and load up pre-built units. I get the feeling this wasn't done because it's hard to do, like with multi-unit transports.

it wasn't done because you would be able to send a near-constant stream of units, which is not the unit cannon's purpose.

Also because being able to send T2 tanks would be overpowered as hell.

Yo dawg, I herd u liek vanguards in ur baes

The easy way round that is to have it be 'Full' and fire at a dozen units. You get a delay, but you don't have the silly situation of an unusuable army watching new units be built just so they can be put in pods.

Who said it should fire every kind of unit?

When UI for listing factory build queues (order and quantity) is included, I imagine that the Unit Cannon will take advantage of this in some way. I see it as one and the same thing - even if that's maybe not the quickest, glance-identification wise.

I was sort of referring to unit cannons being able to be placed on water, but okay.

Uh huh. I said 'For instance' because I don't have a Cerebro plugged into my computer.

Edit:

I'm not familiar with the term "Cyrebro." please define.

Cerebro.
