I know I'm late but have to say the ship sounds are already amazing and the thought of a really working audio HUD like you are describing it is REALLY awesome
As a huge audio fan myself I really enjoy the ED-sound => BIG HUG to the audio wizards
The sound effects and production are some of the best I've ever heard across all manner of media!
Yes there's some great big fantastic bombastic audio but the most impressive are all the tiny nuances which establish the perfect atmosphere. The kind my mind was so good at imagining back in 1984 when Elite changed my life.
