For the combat replay and simulator:
A handy, floating window which lists the ships (and perhaps units) in combat.
<Name> : <Launched units left> : <Shield %> / <Armor %> / <Hull %> : <status icons>
Status icons would include:
- no movement
- no weapons
- no supplies
This would make it much easier to see how things are going without having to click each ship, so you could have both a fast relay/simulation AND ship details.
Currently, the simulator's tactical mode takes too long, but the strategic mode has way too few details.
