Power surge should be a button on powered structures

aeroripper

Simple change, and it should lead to much more awareness of power surge, since almost 90% of comms don't know about it. Make power surge a button on powered structures.

Function:

1) Every structure has a power surge icon, it is greyed or redded out if no active turret factory.

Here's a picture:

Seems fair. now let's move on to the real subject
Clicking on marines to give them cat/ammo/med pax?!

That's a bit different.

No, I'd prefer the current system - it's more flexible.
But the power surge button on every building seems a good idea.

What's the point of having the button on powered structures....

I was meaning, the button is augmented onto buildings that require power to function. Obviously you wouldn't be able to activate it until the power was out.

I see, eh, maybe put it on them but leave it on assist as well, being able to use hotkeys instead of using the mouse to click on the building raises efficiency for people without downs.

I like the idea of having the button there. And what about powering multiple things? Like click 2 spawns and a armory in base?
I say yes since it cost 3 times as much res.

If you could start power surge before power goes out that would be nice too, say on IP's or something, so the respawn isn't reset.
