GUI Update for ships

[xtothez]

Since we're so keen on neat little scripts that display data better in each page, how about a little toggle for how ship lists are shown. On overview, fleets, and possibly unit scans, I suggest a button that switches the colours of each ship to display either race, class, or target class. For example, if I pressed the Class switch, my fleet list would display like so:

Key: FI CO FR DE CR BS

Ships (19,373 total)
Harpy 1,555 Drake 200
Pegasus 2,100 Chimera 2,000
Syren 2,000 Dragon 1,400
Wyvern 2,100 Lynx 300
Leviathan 200 Scarab 1,040
Lancer 1,116 Peacekeeper 5,362

Bold, Underline and Italics could also be used to inform which view mode you were in.

This is a good idea, not sure about the choosen colours though, but these can be easily worked on, also depends on what skin you have (but then if it were css+xhtml this could be worked around).

This is done (basically) on the bcalcs of some, where you hover over the ship and it would show you which they target, but also I think that any ship that are hostile to that one should be shown up too (using two different colours obviously).

Perhaps using the background color to seperating the race (Cat=Silver, Xan=Green, Ter=Blue, Zik=Red). These would need to be darker shades than the foreground font color though.

Also the ablility to sort using class / race / Init would be very useful, then at least having colors for class wouldnt look so messed up i.e. all ships of a color would be in one block.

p.s. This might not work work for color impaired, and also there are a few types of color blindness too.
