Currently, when we right click the turrets out in space, there is an option to show info on the turret. I am curious how difficult it would be to add a "show ammo info" option below the "show info" option.

The Question do we need more "useless" Rightclick context options? Wouldnt it preferable to reduce them as much as possible and bring the needed Infos into the weapon Info?

Would be nice if it were put on the load ammo menu; can never keep T2 straight.

Well, the fact that I asked for it would suggest that it's not "useless," at least to me. Adding it to the turret info would just be misleading with the turret info itself, since the variables change with the ammo loaded. And to get "raw" turret info, you'd have to unload your ammo?

I would prefer if the Information Window on loaded weapons would be contain two tabs one for Ammo and one for the Weapon itself, then rather throw more and more Stuff into the contextmenu.

My first Post was a Little missleading, the "useless" wasnt for your idea, it was meant to be in comparison for a more unintuitive menu its just not worth the change.

That idea does make a lot of sense. However, consider that Show Info on independent weapons and ammo exists. Show Info for each type through right click is relatively very simple.

I like it as a first one, then the other idea.
