FR: subsystem scanning that doesn't say "cargo"
Currently, when a subsystem has a specific cargo assigned to it, on scan it's hardcoded to print "cargo: CARGONAME".
Request an option to not print "cargo".
The text can be modified via strings.tbl, specifically 84, "cargo: %s", but this will change the text across the entire mod. I assume you were looking for something more specific to the ship/subsystem in question?
For what it's worth, by overriding the string, you could still get the same effect, provided you remembered to write cargo: ... as the cargo for other examples which you still want to work the normal way.
There is an existing option to change what is printed; if the cargo is prefaced with a #, the string will say "passengers: ..." instead of "cargo: ...".
But if you want to remove the "cargo: " altogether, that would require some additional work.
Yes, I'm looking to remove the "cargo" string entirely.

Nah, I can go without it for now - the strings.tbl method would break a whole lot of other stuff in my mod, and I don't want to redo everything from scratch.

Did you want to try the strings.tbl method...? I can help you with it.
