Here's an idea for, and some thoughts on, something I'm going to call "The Action Window".

You all know, there's information scattered around all over the place, and sometimes digging it out can be a pain, and not everyone wants access to the same information as the next guy, so I was wondering if WebGuyDan could design "The Action Window".

I don't know where you could 'Sandwich' it in, that might be a Designer choice, but what I would like to see it do is this: have a few (say 4 to 6) CONFIGUREABLE slots of Info, that the player can pull from different places, and "Drop" that info into this "Action Window"

Some recommendations:
* The Amount of Experience to your next Rank
* Your Energy Charge rate/hour
* Your Shield Charge rate/hour
* An important Planet Alert
* An Enemy Player Alert
* A 'text box', where you can write a short note to yourself (like : Uninstall your Relays !)
* A Repair count-down timer
* A Hacking/Raiding count-down timer
* Your current Ship Effect(s)
* An Artifact you don't want to forget to use
* A note about your current Mission (or Timer for Special Missions)
* Most recent Elite/Boss Alert
* Current 'Target Locked' enemy Base
* Current Artifact/Research/Mineral points built up
* Current number of Red/Yellow/Green/Silver/Blue Badges

Well, the list can go on and on, and would be different for each player, because each player has different priorities. If it was configurable to the player's needs, I think it would be a big help.
