Simple and pragmatic: Uses for Command chair screen and Command Display.

Hi guys. I want to say that it is a lot more fun than I expected to go to the command chair and sit down and watch, love you guys and gals!
Re the command chair lap screen, if it could show these simple things, it would add to the function of an FC tremendously:
All separate pages and they are not interactive, they are just live lists:
  • Current system name -> next jump (if plotted)
  • Fuel status (tritium tonnage + jump range accordingly)
  • Names of ALL CMDRS ABOARD (this would be extremely cool) (Who the heck is on my boat!!)
  • Shipyard (list of own ships aboard)
  • Shipyard (list of other commander's ships / stored / manned)
Re the Command screen

Screen A could show the Current main star and Screen B could show the body, if different if no jump plotted.
Once jump is plotted, Screen A shows destination main star (only the designation if the system has not been scanned) and Screen B the destination body if different.
Same graphics can be used, just insert live animation of current or destination bodies, this would add a lot to the overall effect!
Lastly, the central screen, it would be cool if we, from our command chair screen, could select what information is shown there. Not sure what though, I'm out of ideas for now!
Cheers, E

Edit: The following addition: Just thought of central screen - possible news ticker tape / galnet when not in jump procedures.
