Summary	0014142: Request: Targeting Brackets on Mission Critical Targets
Description	I'm getting lost among the fairly samey ships out there, though it is easier to look past this if the vital ones stood out more. If possible, please put targeting brackets (or some other standout visual aid) around mission critical targets. It can be as simple as literally [ and ], or in the fancier style with extra lines and circles that seems to be part of HydralOS. Maybe even use a faded version of the "spinny ovals" targeting bracket that used to grace the battlefield several versions ago. I think that this will be a common complaint, so I booted it up to 'major.' SuperEffortBonus: put a contact list on the right side of the screen with the mission critical targets in full-zoom detail, and with their tracked stats (shields, hull, weapon, propulsion). Hovering over each contact highlights it on the main screen and the minimap.
