Even w/o knowing what they plan I'd guess that Shields would be on the left, Armor = Right side & Structure on the bottom... It seems rather logical to me. Hell, after having to get used to the new inventory UI, this is a piece of Cake, and it will become "At a Glance" in no time as it's only 3 bars.
I think keeping Circles around the target would be awesome, but I propose these tweaks:
-Can you order the Shield on the left, Armor on the Right and structure at the bottom?
-When the Shield/Armor are depleted, they should start at the top (100%) and slowly be reduced toward the bottom (structure). So a ship with 10% shield and 20% armor would have small bar on the lower left, little bigger bar on the lower right and a bar at the bottom for structure.
-Color coding the bars is definitely a good idea--maybe the bar could go from a solid color at the top (gray) and as it's destroyed it could change color gradually into red until it disappears?
-Could we try segmented bars to give a better guess-timation about the remaining %?
-Can we try leaving the Square lock/bars at the top of the screen, but use the new circular dynamic bars on the actual ship?
Just some thoughts, but I love it overall!

Why not make black the background for each so you can clearly see that there's nothing there? The bars could fade from (color) to red to even flashing red the lower and lower it got. |

I really like how a lot of HUD elements in that slide I linked look. The ship readout and modules look very sleek. That overview design could definitely use some work, but I think it would be nice if the overview appeared a lot sleeker without reducing its effectiveness.
YES PLEASE! I had not seen this slide before. This interface looks AMAZING! PLEASE implement this!! |

I had not seen this slide before. This interface looks AMAZING! PLEASE implement this!! Here are some clearer shots of that concept UI featured at Fanfest. I really hope the final UI redesigns end up looking sleek like this. ( Regular ship view with destruction effects) ( Tactical view)
Those look so awesome! They must do something similar!!
It's so clean, and I love the active picture of the target!

We appreciate your feedback, and please keep it coming, but there is no need to keep repeating what many have said before you, we are aware of this confusion 
Yeah, if you guys are going to go for it, then just go for it! Change the colors of the shield/armor/hull rings both around the ships and in the HUD. It's going to be way easier to adjust to and better to take the changes all at once vs trying a colorful locking ring then later deciding the HUD display should match it.
