Knowing other user's ship
When i aim at other player's ships, it doesnt display anything so i do not know who that other person is...i think a display should be added so when we aim at other players ship, we should be able to see their username in a nice glowing text =D what do you think?
...or you could just target them and see it...
I think maybe having the target window similar to your ships status might be handy, you will be able to tell at a glance the class of ship they have then, also, to add to this, could we possably have the hull strength of the ship appear, instead of the %, or with it, so we can get an idea of exactly how much firepower is needed to take something down. :-)
Hit it a couple times. See how far the bar goes down.
Then you can extrapolate from there. :)
I honestly like how it only gives a rough indicator of status. Feels more proper, to me.
Then again, I've never been partial to exact details being provided about an enemy; it's not like you can access their ship's computer to get a status.

I like the ambiguity too. Makes combat more exciting when you don't know exactly how many more shots it's going to take.
Yeah, it really doesn't make any sense that you are able to discern every detail about a ship just by targetting it. Maybe if you have a scanner, and you get close enough, you can use the scanner to gather some of these details.
I think that you should HAVE to tell what type of ship it is by visual only. Maybe a general size (large, medium, small) but nothing like "Wraith MkII" "Vulture MkIV" or anything of that nature.
It would certainly make fleet communications interesting.
Joe-"WTF! I was shot! anyone get a visual!?"
Betsy-"Negative, where were you hit? Still scanning"
Joe-"Looks like a rear shot; back engines down to 75%"
Betsy-"Dammit, I can't see him! What is it!?"
Joe-"I don't know, take evasive maneuvers."
Bob-"Relax guys, my hand just slipped onto the trigger. I shot you"
Joe-"What....? GOD DAMMIT BOB! You are SO out of the guild!"
