Fuel Gauge at StarPort/Refuel

[MintDragon]

Just a quick thought.

No matter how many times I land, go to the StarPort, and select Refuel, every time I think I have a full tank (due to the existing slider), then my eyes jump up to see the number/max fuel.  

What if, above the slider there was another horizontal 'fuel gauge' with a visual representation of the amount of fuel left?  It could be the same width (but maybe a little thicker),  and the 'thin rectangle' shows more hollow space from the right (changes color?) the closer it is to zero.  The text is helpful as well (ex. 27/145), but for some reason, my eyes fool me initially with the slider.  Maybe it's just me?

I find remembering to fuel up properly in ST easier than in ST2, so here we have a rare instance where something good seems to have been lost. Remembering, of course, that this is the seat-of-your-pants-oh-god-we-want-to-fix-this UI suitable for an alpha, where, if it does its job at all, that's enough. I think that if the icon we have for gas selection when we are bopping around the galaxy, the thing that is red on top for ship damage and blue on bottom for fuel -- stuck around, and did not go away when we started orbiting or made atmosphere you would not have this problem. This, I think, is something we want to persist in the UI, not vanish from time to time.
