Since I've been away for a while, I might have missd tons of posts suggesting the same features, but here goes:

* Display the stress of each occupants graphically in the occupants tab. Together with character health, it is the single most important character-related combat attribute, and I'd like to be able to read it with a quick glance.

* Change the colour-changing armour fields to armour health bars that decrease as health goes down, much like the old health bars. I find that the colur-changing fields does not serve much purpose at all, and I keep expecting the fields to grow smaller as the armour number goes down, creating a bit of confusion when I glance quickly at my armour and it appears unchanged after a hit. (Ideally, I'd like the armour numbers on enemy cars to go away as well, but it seems that they are here to stay this time.)

By the way, the new UI is a wonderful addition. Thanks!

Another death-defying self-bump. The stress thing, in particular, is something I'd *luv* to see in the new GUI. Did you happen to come across this suggestion, Sam, or was it lost in the torrent of improvements this small but bizarrely productive and inventive community produce every day?
