Cargo space meter

[FuryoftheStars]

Quite simply, this is a suggestion to add a meter to the main screen with & similar to the health/power/etc meters showing how full your cargo space is. (Quite possibly add it as an optional toggle for those that may not care.)

 

When out mining/salvaging with the R version lasers, I’m constantly opening & closing the ship window to check how much storage I have left to see if I can maybe fit this next ship/asteroid in, or if I should go dump at a refinery to keep from spilling and wasting resources. (Yes, I know technically the resources are infinite, but if I took the time to mine it, I want to collect it, darn it. :D )

Please don’t spam the HUD with Meters tho.

The idea itself is great and I like the simplicity of being able to see everything right from a bar.

 

BUT with meters like this there should be options to customize your HUD, to select which ones you actually want to see...

A possible solution to this would be a popup similar to when you gather cargo that would show at what % cargo you have filled.

 

"Picked up 25 Laser Compressors"

"Cargo at 36% capacity"

or maybe ask a modder to add it, assuming the data is in the LUA it should be simple.

Yes, agreed, not everyone may necessarily care about cargo space (especially if the ship they're flying doesn't even have a hold) and so there should be an option to toggle or some other dynamic mechanic to it.  I hesitate to say have something only pop up for a brief moment when you pick something up, though, as this may not be helpful in some situations.
