A corpie of mine was talking about his new EW Scorpion and I got to thinking about how the current HUD displays Shields, Armor, Structure percentages, speed, powergrid usage percentage, cpu usage percentage, etc... but missing vital ship information. So I doctored up a screenshot of my barebones shopping Vigil.
Changes that I feel would greatly improve players' ship awareness -knowing the state of their ship.
HUD Modifications: Central Dial, Left Icons, Right Icons shifted up slightly. Shield/Armor/Structure % set centrally above the HUD dial.
HUD Additions
1. Propulsion Strength: Flashes red if prop jammer activated against you. # drops based on strength of prop jammer.
2. Max Vel: Maximum attainable velocity not taking into account AB or MWD bonuses. Webbers would make it flash red and number change to reflect webbers' affects.
3. Signature: You ship's signature radius -Sorry, I didn't grab the number while the mwd was active- updated depending on what modules are in affect so you have realtime data on your signature radius. Especially effective if you have a target painter boosting your signature radius or mwd running.
4. Max Targeting Range: 49km on my little Vigil, but will reflect current maximum targeting range and the effects of modules that affect targeting range.
5. Scan Resolution: Realtime data on your scan resolution which affects lock on time.
6. Racial Sensor Strength: My Vigil has 12, but whatever the ship's sensor strength, it is listed. If you have backups, it will show it. If ECM's are affecting you, it will show it. Additional icons and displays (4) may be needed to show all sensor strengths as players can use any backup system on their ship.
I believe that these additional are easily integrated as similar information in the manner of shields, armor, structure, speed, etc... are displayed. Please give the addition of this information strong consideration as the only way to see this information is to "Show Info" on your ship, which no one wants to do in the middle of combat.

You need to edit your post and include a title. It'd be ashame if these great ideas were never seen because no one bothered to read a title-less post.

As expected with no title, a good idea risks being ignored.
