Like in Beta, when you hit the F5 key it brings up a small window for your prestige and stats - - - Have the F7 (or 8, if its not i use) bring up the Targetted ships Info:
System Status
JDrives : Tachyon - Unkown
Engines: AFE - Moderate Damage
And for weapons, have them appear as well, once the enemy ship has fired, but not before.
That way, you can target various ships and by keeping the little window open in the top of your screen, you know what to expect.
And...have the F9 screen (or something) give the Profile screen of your target...just so you know what kind of player you are up against...

I forgot who posted this idea, and I'm sorry for not giving you credit, but; what would be nice is an energy change readout, like..
Two small readouts under the energy bar; just simple like E+ and E-, with a nice looking but simple readout like 10MW/S (I assume ships would use megawatts or something; what do they use Faustus?)

Ok here's a real nice addon.
Right now you have the friendly and enemy ships individual on your Nav screen.
I want to have an Icon for each Group that has been made in the NAV screen.
this would allow a person in tactical command of a fight to assign GROUPS of ship to a target 
not that would be a good addon.
