Summary0012330: Improve power level validation
DescriptionI just stumbled over the game allowing me to exceed an Exo's maximum power level until the moment I try to enter the next mission.

Why not enforce the power level at the time customization is left and/or another Exo is selected? Additionally the power level display in the stats summary could be colored red in case the valid power level is exceeded.

Would be much clearer this way, think...

Keith: something here to make it clearer without being annoying would indeed be good, I suspect.

For 0.920:

* The Power line on the exo customization screen now turns red when power consumption exceeds power generation.

Thanks :)


As for not letting you leave the customization screen without balancing it, that's not really possible due to save/load (which may not be possible without exiting the screen in singleplayer, but if we ever do an MP mode). And honestly impairing the ability to leave the screen even with a confirm could be very annoying.

Similar problem with other confirms, like on adding a part that puts you over, etc.

But if this isn't enough notice we'll try something else :)
