Imagine if you will, a bar chart.
Along the X axis, is a normalised 'tracking' for your turret.
Along the Y axis, is normalised 'range'.
And the bar down the middle of the axis, gets longer as your target moves further away, turning yellow when they pass optimal, and orange when they pass optimal+falloff, and red when they pass optimal + 2x falloff.
The bar widens as your guns become more able to track, and again becoming redder as you have a harder time hitting.
Bear with me, here's some MSPaint: Turret Efficiency indicator
The idea being that size (and colour) reflects relative hit chance, so a small ish green 'dot' means you're hitting well, and a large red one means you're having a bad day. |

This would be pretty neat, easier than staring at columns of changing numbers in the overview.
I would probably prefer it reversed, so that the indicator was large and green when it was hitting good, instead of small.
I like. |

I was thinking about that. But then, range just doesn't seem 'right' when it's 'small' to indicate 'out of range'. *shrug*. Either way, I could cope, just as long as large didn't mean 'easy to hit for tracking/hard to hit for range'.

Just reverse the scale, its not that difficult to envision it that way. Suprised no one else likes this idea.

Heck whichever way you draw it people will learn what it means (just not red & green, that gets the colour-blind people irritated).
Superb idea. Love it. ___ My views may not represent those of my corporation or alliance, which is why I never get invited to those diplomatic parties... |

Loved the idea.
Don't know if it's better Y axis for this and X for that, but placing such a gadget in the hud would be great.
