Overview: Adding a Counter

I've come to notice that a real problem in really blobby enviroments is that the only way to tell how big of an enemy fleet you're fighting against is to check how big the scroll-bar actually appears in size. As a result, alot of people will try and make educated guesses based on either the size of that scroll bar or, in most situations, what local count is. The local counter in particular is a wonderful tool because you can tell when a fleet jumps in really quickly because numbers going up from 50 to 150 are fairly obvious.

My proposal is that, just like the local counter, the overview have a counter (located preferably on the top of it) that would display the number of items being displayed on your current overview setting. That way, and especially when you're filtering between multiple overviews for bs, bc, dictors, logi etc. an FC could really easily tell the size of fleet that he's dealing with on grid, and its relative composition.

P.S. Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum, but it seems like this is where people gripe about random crap they don't really like.

+1 for a simple and long-overdue enhancement to the overview.

I usually just look at how many people are in my fleet and subtract that from local.

Works wonders.
