I'm baffled.... as title says, a year after the initial issue of unmarked bars being identified as unhelpful we still have this...

Can anyone explain why this was missed when the initial pass, looooong in the coming an implementing, addressed the issue?

Totally agree. I've said multiple times that the game needs more polish, and this is a great example. That bar is totally useless in describing the information.

Same for repair drone, assault thruster, tractor beam ....
