i'm not sure if this has been suggested or not, but i think a new Spy Probe to determine how much hull a player has would be good.

eh, i dont see anything wrong with it, but i like that it doesnt show it because if i was a space captain, i dont think hull strenght would be big a deal considering id fire anti protons into the hull and pretty much munch it, lol, altho i would like to know what there shield strength is. but thats in a RL situation (which is what i base all these ideas and opinions in here on)
