Not a Diplomacy related topic, but this seems to be the forum where most requests and suggestions are posted, so I decided to post here. I know this are minor issues compared with the ones you have to deal with while coding diplomacy, but they have been annoying me and probably many others during the last months so maybe they could get a fix if one of your coders has some spare time (yay I know how much spare time coders have
):
1. "last report: 4787 seconcs ago". We all know this text in an enemy's planet status description. Could it be possible to change this (and maybe other texts containing such time information) to a more human-readable form? 4787 seconds are 1h 19m 47s (who could tell off the top of his head?) and I think many players would appreciate it if times could be displayed in this format if it's possible.
2. Ability icons show a cooldown bar that is hard to read sometimes (especially with yellow TEC icon backgrounds...). could they or the ability description show a cooldown timer too/instead - maybe as an option selectable in UI options? The remaining cooldown time is hard to tell sometimes and in close battles it can make a huge difference to know if your next missile barrage will be ready in 15 or 40 seconds and not "umm its ready again soon".
