UI suggestion: showing general info like credits

[TeeWee]

Simple UI suggestion to make increase usability. Make a "banner" section that holds general info like:
- Owner of the sector (I think that's already in there)
- Credits on your account
- Context-specific info depending on the screen; e.g. cargo space in a buy/sell/load screen, crew stats in the spice hall, etc.

This way, you don't have to go back and forth to see if you can afford an upgrade etc.

Good idea. I'll see what I can do.

What data elements would everyone like to see?

- Credits
- Date
- Zone Name
- Coordinates
- Rep
- Rumor Icon
- Conflict Icon

Info I'd like to see in a "general info" infobar that's always on screen:
- Credits
- Date
- Coordinates (EDIT: plus coordinates of next waypoint)
- Cargo in hold vs total Cargo space
- Fuel remaining
- Owner of your current location (House, Syndicate or Indie)
- Reputation with the owner of your current location


Maybe with more experience with the game, I can think of other elements.

There is another thread from a few weeks ago that talks about this as a slide-out panel. Have ot search for the thread to find the list they had before I code anything.
