Add shortcuts to the Logistic Tab to auto-request an item

Post by niki_dev »

Context: I use the "logistic networks" tab (L shortcut) to find out IF I'm producing an item, or if an item is in demand.
I also use it to find the most advanced item of a specific type I own in storage.

Problem:
Say I want to add a "Vehicle Plasma Cannon" to my new vehicle. I'd open the logistics, search for it, and then have to close that tab and open the character tab, re-find it, and request it.

UX Solution:
  • Clicking on an item in the logistics tab would open the Player Logistics tab and auto add/select the item, allowing us to change request parameters.
  • When SELECTING an item to request via logistics, tell me how many items of this type exist in my logistic networks please! Saves a click and delete.
Thanks!

I would not search for it. Never. I would just request it.
But I would like to see, how many are currently available.
