Title. Fairly sure this has existed since commercial pacts were added.

In the upper right window is the proposal when a player sends a CP proposal to another empire, you clearly see the breakdown for the 10% TV on either side.
In the lower left window is the proposal screen when an AI sends a CP invite to a player - you do not see what you'd be getting for your 0.25 influence per month.
It's frustrating to have to go in to an ai's comms screen and reverse-offer them a commercial pact, just to see what I'd get.
Further, on trade, we have no way to:
Stellaris needs a serious pass on its UI, the above situation is just one example.

- See the aggregate trade power of other empires (in the above screenshot I actually gain less than the AI from the deal, despite him having a bigger economy (According to the economy wright value [their 144 to my 98] but they gain more because, even though my economy is smaller, I generate more trade value.
- Therefore, aggregate trade value should be exposed somewhere when looking at other empires, in addition to the overall economic weight figure.
- break down what pact is giving us what (say, if you have 3 commercial pacts all running at once) because the game stuffs them all in to the same "+Trade" item in the resource tooltip, Without any Information, how am I meant to decide which deal I should abandon, in favour of another nation?
- In the above screenshot, before I accepted the commercial pact, you could see my EC income from trade was equal to "Trade: 37.76"
- However, after the commercial pact was signed, that figure rises to 39.08 (37.76 + their 1.07) but now I only have a summary of my income and no longer know:
- How much Trade value I am producing
- How much Trade value they are producing (or any other alien empire, as this aggregates all the trade figures without giving you a breakdown)

Hell, the notification system has been a running joke since v1.0 (in 2016!) with just how bad it bloody is when you get notification bombed by AIs - some of the first mods on the workshop aimed to cut down notification spam - even devs have joked about it on streams in the past, rather than improving upon it..
