v2.6.0 Changes Discussion Thread

[Ghostly]

Big fan of the sensor changes, especially the vizualization of 100 IP ones! Could've sworn that already happened sometimes, but very far from always. Does the removed horizontal bar mean the Observed Weapons display is fixed as well? Because currently ROF is often not displayed in full, even if there is no scrollbar, on top of sometimes not making sense (screenshot attached, I'm guessing I saw the same ship fire in two separate engagements because according to the DB its RoF is 44578880, maybe a workaround against that as well?).

Also, since you're updating the alien class window, I can't help but once again ask that boarded ships would get a class summary there same way ship classes discovered from intel do. Or maybe let us edit the summary window so we could add notes too

There is an option to display sensor ranges now, but its based on race sensors not class, requires the sensor to be active and I don't think it is completely reliable. The new one displays sensor ranges regardless of activation (because you need to know the detection range even if it isn't active) and displays the actual active sensors next to the contact (as per 2.5.1).

Yes, weapon display is slightly narrower now to allow scrollbar. I've seen the weird ROF occasionally too, but haven't nailed it yet.

I've added class summary to the other information you gain when capturing an enemy ship.
