A thought occurred to me tonight (they aren't rare ): What if there was an option of telemetry, such as the Defense, Speed, Turn Rate, Shield Health, Hull Strength, Crew Size, etc. stats? It would fill a small box on the HUD, and would be able to be moved like any other box, or just turned off. It's handy to know this because the game is dynamic. I constantly change power setting, use abilities, and take damage. These stats might be interesting to know in the middle of a fight. It would also make testing a heck of a lot easier, because I hate having the big ship info page up when trying to see how manipulating my ship affects a given stat.
I agree with this, as the crew manning the conn and tactical would have nearly constant readouts of the ship status. Just make sure the approrpiate interface graphics are included.
