Contents of pylons should pop up when switching

Post by arquebus »

Probably for an OXP? Maybe vanilla?

I keep forgetting what I have on my pylons, because I'm a goldfish. And out in space there's no way for me to see what they are as far as I can tell (they don't show up on F5).

It would be nice if, while cycling through them, something would pop up on the comm to let me know what I've switched to.

That's something a HUD should do.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

There are keys to cycle through items on the missile/bomb pylons.
And arming them individually will tell you what each item is, even using plain-vanilla Oolite.

Not really enough pylons for it to be a major issue.
