Dear all,

Far too much of my time is spent scrolling through endless lists of ammunition for launchers I do not use, especially with mods installed that add launchers, which tend to have more than one ammo type. Can we please get a separate inventory list for weapon ammo at the dockscreen of stations that sell it?

In the interest of user-friendliness, players would still be able to sell their ammunition at a station's "Commodity Exchange" (or Ringer/Teraton/etc. equivalent), but to buy ammo, they could enter the "ammunition shop" (or whatever).

This would REALLY help, and I think not too hard to mod. But since it involves overriding the dockscreens of Vanilla stations, I am hesitant to do so for compatibility reasons -- many other mods also mess with those same dockscreens.

Hence I request for it to be added to the vanilla game.

Yay or nay? Should I BugTrac this?

Yes, I really would appreciate adding the features of this mod http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=1108
In all shop dockscreens, it would save a whole heap of time for us Multimod Gamers.

Yes, it should go on trac.
I think with the scraddaction func you can add a separate DS that gets hooked onto the main DS of many stations. So instead of commodities exchange you can add your "Ammo shop" option as well ;)

While I don't see this as really needed for the current version of vanilla, I can see this possibly being needed for future development and as mentioned the gaggle of mods out there that keep adding ammo.
