Post damage indicators
When you shoot a ship, you can see your damage popping up above the ship. That's really cool.

When the ship is just kind of out of your visual range, and you just see that generic spaceship symbol instead of the actual ship, you don't see the numbers popping up for damage when you shoot it. Then, when the ship comes back into visual range, all of the old numbers from past shots go scrolling up really fast. It's not a really harmful bug, but I'm guessing it wasn't intended.

Btw, IS that spaceship symbol intended? I'm not a big fan of it.

I HATE that damn space ship symbol, it is terrible. Its function is unnecessary, it blocks what the ship actually looks like and you cant even select it if the ship is detectable but not visible by clicking. Do away with it and all the other weird icons like for asteroids and such in the main view.

Agreed. It even happens for the low-vis suns in Ring. Not a fan.

Those damage indicators sure do backlog a lot when you have a fight with several AI along with drones healing you. It'll continue to scroll through the info after the barrels have cooled and I've already left for the next Gal.
