Hey guys, I posted this thread a while ago but it got buried and was never really brought up and even though this is minor, and you might have it already but I just haven't noticed it yet; It would be nice if we could get a notification if our ships are in need of upgrades as we play the game.

This might not be a problem early on since you have a few ships, but mid-late game it can be very annoying to equip your naval fleets with new tech in the ship designer then find out that your existing fleet has not received those upgrades when they were needed. This oversight could be due to the amount of other stuff you have to do mid-late game (i.e. in the middle of a war).

This was also seen in the Blorg stream, where Wiz was wondering why his construction ship couldn't reach an outer rim system only to find out later that his construction ship was not upgraded with the latest warp drives.

Again, this only a minor gripe but it would be very helpful if it could be implemented in the game.

Yes, a useful feature. It's possible that this kind of "upgrades available" alert is already built in, we just haven't seen it. In the Blorg streams, Wiz tries to keep the game pace very fast. As a result, he quickly clicks off numerous alerts and also turned off VIR, the in game tutorial / assistant. Unless the devs touch on this, we'll just find out when we start to play.
