Summary0025401: Show number of already possessed ships of each tech, when choosing ship line
DescriptionTooltips for ship lines you can capture have a section that looks like this:
"Upgraded by Techs: Weapon: Ambush (0/4), Hull: Heavy (0/2)"

I suggest modifying it to show how many lines you already own that benefit from the listed techs :
"Upgraded by Techs: Weapon: Ambush (0/4 - 3 lines), Hull: Heavy (0/2 - 1 line)"

When trying to decide which ship line(s) to capture one of the main factors is whether you already have ships in the same tech category. In the example given, another Ambush-type ship would be a good pick since I already own 3 lines of Ambush ships or turrets. This change would save the back and forth between the Tech sidebar (which closes the dialog where I can pick ships!) and the ARS hack dialog.

In the medium and detailed tooltips, this new section could gradually add detail, with the full version distinguishing between ships and turrets of each tech, and listing the overall owned strength of each.

(Unrelated note: "Upgraded by Techs" feels too long for the brief tooltip, this form could be saved for the medium tooltip while the brief one just gets: "Techs: Weapon: Ambush (0/4 - 3 lines), Hull: Heavy (0/2 - 1 line)" - or the science icon could even replace the word "Techs:".

----

An alternative design is possible where you show a small summary panel of the various techs and the number of ships/turrets/strength in each, whenever you open a dialogue to pick a ship line.
