Drop order should id items

[Joshua]

If robot hacking ids items dropped by a hauler, maybe ordering an ally to drop items should do the same? (And I love that robot hacking does this - for me it is a big incentive to take RIF.)

Well with regard to allies there's a fair amount of dissociation between what you could logically and theoretically do with them and what you actually can, mainly for gameplay reasons, of course.

Here though we can say that you're getting the IDs specifically from the RIF capability. The Hauler itself doesn't need to know what it's carrying

The Modified TNC sure makes it look like it does!   (Enhancement request related to that: make the manifests stay on the map longer when scrolling around to view them.)

Also I had in mind Z Couriers with this - it seems as allies they could be helpful enough to id for you what they brought you. But maybe they were sent in such a rush that they don't know what they're carrying.

But the Modified TNC is not 0b10 tech! I'll look into request.

Z Couriers: And yeah not always knowing what everything is can be fun, too.

I've doubled the duration of the Modified TNC popup for next release, and also added it to the advanced options so it can be changed as desired.
