Today I was preparing a Caracal in Sisi, for checking the new impressive launchers, when I realized about something you've all probably encountered before.

Right now, when we use turrets, we can right-click on them -when fitted and loaded- for checking their modified stats in real time, I mean, their standard stats modified according to ship, skills, implants, modules, rigs, and even ammo. However, that's not that easy to see when using missiles, since most of the relevant attributes -flight time, maximun speed, damage, explosion radius and velocity- are inside the ammo info, not inside the launcher info. So when I right-click on my loaded launcher, I only get the launcher's info, so I can't see how my missiles are affected by ship, skills, etc (which is as important as knowing at which distance shoot them).

My proposal is to be able to check that info in an easy way. For example:

1) When right-clicking a launcher, and hovering above 'Show info', a small list would appear, where you select 'Launcher info' or 'Ammo info'.

2) When right-clicking a launcher, and select 'Show info', you get a single list, where the Attributes tab would be separated at half heigh, showing both launcher and ammo info in the same window.

What are your thoughts about this?

I support the notion that there should be an easy way to check skill updated info on missiles.

This is just a clunky UI issue after all. The should definitely get on the "1000 Paper Cuts" project.
It is issues like these that should be getting the attention in the Assembly Hall. Its a no brainer, and wouldn't take CCP too long to change. The ticks all the boxes for a good proposal.

- Its not a time/resource consuming change to make
- Obviously no drawbacks
- Its in-theme with changes CCP are already making.
