Summary	0014757: Be able to buy mercenaries at usage locations
Description	Related: 0014756 When attempting to research a tech or build a building, rather than: * Inspecting at the number of months it takes to perform the action, * Exit * Travel to the merc area * Click buy * Buy the mercs necessary (again see 0014756 for the micromanagement involved) * Exit * Travel back to planet * Click Friendly Actions * Select Action (assuming you did prior steps accurately) Why not just have a "buy mercenaries" option on the same screen to eliminate most (if not all) of the above steps (especially because their impact on the target action is not easily visible). This is especially important because the mercs disappear after one use, so the whole look-travel-buy-return-execute loop seems excessive given the amount of long-term time it gains you (i.e., none), especially in a game where time is a major resource.
