Support Power Timers and Hotkeys
You know how tedious it can be to manually check to see if your LasSat Command Post is ready to rain down death from above? Well, what if we added a new button that brought up a menu full of the Support Structures (for now, these would just be LasSat Command Posts, though that could change in the future...) that the player has built, along with the amount of time that's needed until they're ready? Players would no longer need to manually scroll the view back to base just to check on their LasSat Command Post to see whether or not it's ready, or to select it before assigning a target for it.

Re: Support Power Timers and Hotkeys
Nice idea but I think it would be better to have it in the battle interface, maybe in the top middle of the screen when you build it, it would have a small image of the LasSat and the time till available. Then when the timer is done it reads a pulsing red active or ready to fire. What do you think of that?

Re: Support Power Timers and Hotkeys
In next release of enhanced sitrep mod, I've got audio and console prompts to let you know when lassat is ready, and even an air raid siren to let you know when enemy lassats have charged.
