Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Add plasma amount to HUD bubble indicator
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Allow Xenos to know EXACTLY how much plasma they have at a glance without needing to change tabs.
This is an older screenshot, but the only one I can find. As you can see, the plasma amount is labeled on the counter '35'.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): tgcode Xenos have a a similar HUD, but their Xeno readout shows exactly how much plasma you have at any given time. The bubble would still fill up according to full you plasma pool is, but would also have a number overlain ontop of it (or next to it) with the exact plasma info. This allows players to see how much plasma they have without having to swap between their status page and alien abilities page.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): A secondary bubble could also be added for progress(larva) and evolution(T1/T2 aliens). This could probably be a flat % rather then an actual amount (48% rather than 241/500 for example) as it would save space and give the same info.

Re: Add plasma amount to bubble indicator
+1
It's one of those little things that'd just be really helpful. Using the bubble you can kinda-sorta guess how much plasma you have. Do you have enough for a wall? Maybe. Or you might be short by 20. Can't exactly tell with the way it is now.

+1. All upsides, no downsides.

We had tried to do it before in pre-alpha,though it did work, it caused people to crash so it will take a bit before the devs can implement it.

Re: Add plasma amount to bubble indicator
Even though I almost never play as alien, I'm all +1 and don't understand why it isn't done already.
