[Feature Request] Add a way to display the resource cost of a specific ship design

When building ships it's somewhat hard to estimate, which resources they require (and therefore the cost of the ship). I would love to see a way to display the required ressources for a specific ship design.

Or is this already possible somehow?

I believe you may have mistakenly posted in the wrong forum section. Please read the rules, feature requests go to General Discussion, not Beta section.

Indeed. Moved over to the main forum. :)

I thought this already was in place - top right you see the components, along with a total for the bits needed. You may need to open the drop-down menu to see them.

yep it is in the game.

Maybe it should be more visible?

Oh wow thanks! :) Now I'm wondering how I never noticed....

Nevertheless right now it is visible per component type, a nice QoL feature would be to see the sum of all components needed for a single ship design.

You can see the breakdown in resource cost for different parts of the ship (chassis, engines, weapons, turrets, etc), but not a combined total resource cost for the entire ship. What I would like is in the ship comparison tool, if there was listed the total cost in wares for the ship, or at least the estimated cost of the ship based on the average price of each ware.
