How would you do this kind of UI change? there isn´t any way to make a 2D UI in the SEIV style for SEV?

I think part of the problem is that controls are laid out badly. For example; I should be able to click on a ship and then hit TAB, which brings me to a zoomed in locked around that ship viewpoint, that I can then pan around to see the preeeeety colors or laser weapons fire...

Tab is the wrong key for a camera follow control. Tab should be involved in switching between items.

Orthographic view. A lot would be better if Aaron programmed the system view to display orthographically.
