This is an improvement to an existing feature
Brief Description *
After discussion in discord, a general consensus was reached that it would be simpler and more clear to users if the list of available tracks was displayed in a one-column list view instead of a drop down, with a number of tracks visible by default to illustrate that there can be more than one track for new and unfamiliar users. The column can have a scroll bar to accommodate as many tracks as needed that will appear when the default amount that would be displayed is exceeded, providing a visual indicator of a change.
The right half of the stratcon screen is fairly compact, between 5 to even possibly 10 displayed track selections could be displayed by default.
For reference, the drop down display could simply be converted to display these items in a column making it much clearer 'at a glance' and more intuitive to learn/interact with.
Screen space available seems to be workable, and possibly repositioning to the right of the Strategic Objectives panel would be a convenient way to do it provided it isn't earmarked for something else already.
