Please Put Commas in in Weights and Monetary Values

[Fluffy Fishy]

This is a small but important suggestion, we are often dealing with huge sums of cash now, especially with the inflationary rates of some of the exceptional ships at the moment can we please add commas and break up the amount of money involved, I have made the mistake more than once now and a tired captain shouldn't be forced to count every figure each time they do something could we please have this put in, its not a big ask. this is just a quality of life thing, if you want to encourage trading, it shouldn't be a strain on the eye.

the difference between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 is clear with a comma but 10000000 and 1000000 is barely noticeable, especially with the way it is centered in game.

Thanks

Honestly i have no issue without commas, in fact its actually better this way because the European system, uses '.' instead of commas, and i think you can imagine the confusion from US players over that, as well as from European players if they saw ','. I think its fine as is, everyone can count and understand. just count your zero's and its all good, however I wouldn't mind something like a space in between so it'd appear as "10 000"

I just want some kind of mark that shows up, make it a pink fluffy elephant for all I care, just so you don't continually get stung by poorly set out numbers and occasionally miscounts. Below are some possible options

100.000.000
100'000'000
100/000/000
100,000,000
100 000 000

Anything works for me, as long as it works on the eye at a glance so you can do your trading and chatting casually.

I picked the "," over the "." because we still have things that have decimalised weights and to me 100,000.32 makes more sense

I bought a ship once for 6 million, and thought I was getting a steal at 600 thousand, for this very same reason.  Missed the zero, even after eyeballing it.      Eventually sold it for somewhere around 2 million for a small loss.  I'd like to see this change made also, because even on a large monitor my tired old eyes find these zeroes hard to discern at times.  I frequently find myself squinting and doing doubletakes just to make sure of the numbers, certainly hoping not to buy another anchor for 6 million. 

 

The US-EU conflict can easily be resolved with a space between the 3-digit sets of numbers.
