Could we get something in the "Vehicles" page that indicates which vehicles are in need of action to resolve the travel they're in? I have a dozen courier vehicles and I check them all, but somethimes I get a failed courier mission because a "Confirm travel" has popped up and gone unnoticed.

I run my travels every day, so this would, for me, be a huge quality-of-life/peace-of-mind improvement.

Thanks

This could easilly be done with a color font notification on squad page.

Isn't there already orange for any vehicle in transit?

I forget this stuff too I must say. Often losing the mission.

There is, but this doesn't differentiate between fully-resolved but incomplete runs which will eventually show up on their own at the scheduled time, and initiated but unresolved runs which will hang there forever, causing a failed mission when the allotted time runs out.

Why not check the squad on the squad page?

does that say if processed or not, or just the arrive time? A colour there to indicate would maybe be better? Maybe the time red for not processed?

I like this one, a simple color coding on the squad page would probably suffice very nicely, a seperate page under squads that shows you all squads that have pending actions would probably be ideal.

I don't run nearly as many travels as Stucky stated he does, but I've missed them too sometimes. I can imagine its a regular occurance for those of you running 10+ travels at a time.
