I prefer the second one too. The vital information is shown at first glance.That helps to get a quick overview and keep track of enemy movements and arty positioning. Saying that, I hope that one can also hide the shields.

Hey Nick, I wish you the best of luck with this project. We will see if there will be a kickstarter campaign or even some early early access feature, but know that I will support you. Cheers! Louis (Tullius Tiro)

My favorite is: 10 But I also like 4 and 18. It's hard to tell what makes most sense, because I just started reading about the design, but I would prefer clear and color coded graphical signs over numbers.
