Would a separate window detailing power node and structure status work?

Sort of like the press c to open map. Except this window would give you a glance of the status of all built structures and power nodes by location. A list of structures built that can flash a box of red around whatever is being attacked. No sounds indications as that would be too much. Just a subtle window that you could glance at to get an idea of what is going on around the bases. Of course this window could always be updated with features that allow you to upgrade structures through it and maybe shift phase gate priorities but the main idea is to check structure and node status.

Mostly saying this because for me, it is difficult looking at the map as the icons are small and it is hard to tell when the icon of structures are blinking grey/dark blue especially the small power node.

    I specially like the idea about priority on phase gates, maby the commander could set that when a base is under attack. when you have 4 phase gates on the map and you have to phase through them all to get to the one that is under attack can be very anoying, and then two players phase at the same time and only one get through, and then some PG's are missplaced so that you phase into a closed corner so you just get phased automaticaly to the next one :/

    Interesting idea. I could imagine it being just a separate map but with only a list of structures in each room, each with a health meter. It could definitely help any system of phasegate priority go into effect.

    It's more of a convenience factor for the marine comm. I'm for it.
