It would be nice if we could see if a colony is under an Embargo on their status screen when you click to open it. With an amount required to lift the Embargo allowing another colony to gift that amount to you, should you need it.
Not to mention the stats screen under government, should also show embargo status so you can see if you'restill under an embargo rather than clicking on a trade building to see if you have a trade icon yet.
yes can be more easy to look and more quick if you look to find colony
