Blueprints w/ Turrets Should Show Coverage

Post by jessechisel126 »

TL;DR
While a blueprint is selected and hovered, it should show turret coverage, just like when a turret is selected and hovered.
What?
Here, we see the standard new view (thank you devs!) when placing a turret:

coverage shown.PNG (5.24 MiB) Viewed 176 times
Here, however, when placing a simple blueprint that includes a turret, I don't see coverage:
coverage not shown.PNG
coverage not shown.PNG (5.24 MiB) Viewed 176 times
Why?
When I'm placing turrets, I often want to preserve settings of other similar turrets (like in the attached example, I want to copy/paste the asteroid settings and the inserter as I surround my ship with turrets). Right now, the easiest way is to place the single turrets first so I can see coverage as I place, followed by copy/pasting on top of each. This could be one step instead if I could see coverage as I'm pasting the blueprint.
