Summary0013132: Notification of ability not firing
DescriptionSome kind of notification about the reason an ability didn't fire (cooldown, no enemies in range, etc.) would be really useful. A log message may be sufficient (especially during alpha/beta), but perhaps a popup message near the ability button or something would be better.

I was going to report a bug about the Shortwave Virus not firing when I hit the button, but then it did fire and I realised it was a range issue.

0013134 vastly reduces the importance of this, although a brief notification when trying to use a disabled ability would be nice polish for later.

Curious if you feel this is still needed after you see the revised interface.

I think now that the game is turn-based, the need for this is really removed because you can easily see the tooltips with this sort of info.
