The User Interface thread

Post your ideas for the User Interface here.

I think, first of all, that the G.U.I. should have some more information readily available so that you do not need to, say, ask for weather reports when you need them. I've got some examples here:

1. A window that you can pull up by hot-key and have it display various information, such as objectives, radio log, etc.

2. Current weather, with fog level, cloud cover, and so on.

3. Masts, how far they are raised.

4. Various warnings, inspired by those on the targetting reticule in the X-Wing series. These lights could light up when, say, you've got enemies firing at you, tracking you, searching for you, etc., or when you're on a collision course or in shallow waters.

And, of course, it'd be great to have various pull-out charts, gauges, etc. like in the various super-mods.
