Suggestion: Make temporary hull hitpoints not obstruct actual hull hitpoints

Since the percentage stops showing real hull HP when temp hull is granted and shows temp hull HP instead, and at 100% the pink overlay completely overlaps the silhouette of the ship, its impossible to tell how much real hull you have if having more % of temp hull than real hull %.
The solution to this would be as simple as making the pink temp HP overlay either semi transparent, or striped vertically with full transparency, in both cases showing how much of the silhouette is filled with green. Or just making it so that the % shown on the silhouette still shows real hull HP %, and the only indication of amount of temp HP is how much of the silhouette is filled with pink. Same applies for ground temp HP.

Good suggestion. As an avid user of "Go Down Fighting" and that pilot spec that gives you temporary hitpoints every time you use an attack pattern, I find myself guessing at how much hull I actually have.

It would be nice if they went with a simple UI change that splits normal hull and temporary hitpoints. Say normal hull on the left, temporary hitpoints on the right.

But how would they implement? There is no current feature to copy/paste from?!?!?!

I like the striped idea. I've seen some damage that bypasses the Temp HP entirely, like the ramming Heralds. Combined with the 'how much HP did I have before the Temp HP proc?' questions, we really need some way of seeing are main HP besides just the little Target of Target screen of what we're shooting (pending we have aggro even).

I'm in support of this. It's really useful to know where you will be standing when these abilities and those like quantum absorption wear off.
