When looking at the list of materials when i comes to blueprints, would it be possible to get commas added when looking at list of materials.
For example
for materials for a Myrmidon BPO it is listed as Megacyte: 1620 Mexallon: 283500 Nocxium: 17550 Pyerite: 864000 Tritanium: 3847500 Zydrine: 3375
Could we get to look like this Megacyte: 1,620 Mexallon: 283,500 Nocxium: 17,550 Pyerite: 864,000 Tritanium: 3,847,500 Zydrine: 3,375
For me anyhow it makes it so much easier to read and less chance of mistakes when it comes to manufacturing. |

In itself a good idea; however, the problem here is that not every country uses the same thousand separators. German for instance uses . (dots) as thousand separator and , (comma) as decimal separator. While I'm sure that many German players who use the English client are well aware of the different separation methods, there are always some odd few who don't know that kind of grammar rules and get confused. But that's not all. Some countries use " " (spaces) or even ' (apostrophes) as thousand separators.
So, while this is easily managable via localization and potentially cause a better understanding for some players, it would still hold the potential to cause confusion for other players. Not to mention that it is not even unified in English where some parts use your stated , (commas) and others " "(spaces).
I think that CCP went for the lowest common denominator and completely left out punctuation to have a unified and coherent (I hope so at least) experience. |

Just use spaces & be done with it. That is not how it's done in my locale, but I've never known anyone to be confused by it. |

Some localisation is already implemented. It's probably a good idea to extend it further to include this type of thing and allow users to select it from a drop down on settings.

Right, now that you mention it, in Mission rewards are separated with full stops. |
