Summary0014004: Health bar readability feedback
Description"I wish the enemy flagships had some sort of visible healthbar. I see it took 50,000 Shield Damage.

Was expecting a system underneath the flagship like this:

SHIELD DMG
100% /100 %

Green = hull, Blue =shield

This way I don't have to keep glancing to the textbox in the bottom to see when the flagship will die." -- Articuno

I'm pretty sure you don't want to move to a percentage based system, but the colour coding idea doesn't seem too bad.

Here's a point: how about scaling down the shield and hull numbers? Instead of a shield rating of 50,000 for example, just have it as 500, and reduce the other numbers accordingly. This would be easier to read. Do the numbers need to be so big?

I completely agree about the scaling down of numbers. They could take being sliced to 1/10 of current values without negatively affecting anything as far I can see.
