How it would work is as follows:
- Red: out of falloff range and/or out of tracking speed
- Orange: In falloff range and/or within +/- 10% of tracking speed
- Green: In optimal range and/or within tracking speed
This traffic light system would only appear on the selected object and only when either a pilot has moused over a weapon group or has a weapon group activated on a target. Nice. The colours might need some tweaking for all the usual accessibility and stand-out-against-the-Amarr-nebula reasons, but it's simple and direct. As you point out, though, the actual GÇ£correctGÇ¥ combination might vary with the weapon system so it's important to teach what you want for different weapons GÇö being within optimal with ACs is often, ironically enough, suboptimal.  Perhaps some of that could be solved by having two of them GÇö one for range and one for tracking GÇö but ugh, clutter. It would certainly be much neater if it could be done like you showed it.
The range is fixed for the weapons and ammo you use. you should know that before you undock. Displaying this would indeed clutter up the hud imo.
Now tracking, that is an interesting stat to display for the selected target. +1 For this.

I do like the idea of conveying targeting range and providing a visual indicator on the HUD of who is hitting you. Overall, I think the ol' box is the best way to go, rather than circles. what about something like this: http://www.eveshits.com/example-newui-targetlock.png
