First of all look at this pic

Yeah, this is great, but is there anyone who can quickly tell the difference and guess the shipsize looking on all those crazy brackets

The worst thing is: you can never quickly tell the difference while looking at the bracket. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish whether it is a titan of BS is in your overview. Situations where it is hard to tell is this frigate or cruiser meet even more often

So I came up with a cool suggestion which makes it much easier for your eyes to recognize the shipsize. It is pretty much the same as NPC

Fisrt column for frigates, destroyers, shuttles
Second - for cruiser, battlecruiser-size vessels, undustrials, barges,
Third - bor BS size, freighters, orcas, rorkas. Well, you can use it for carriers and dreads.

This took me ten minutes in mspaint to make this draft so don't judge it the hard way. Feel free to add something of yous.

It would certainly make fleet fights slightly less chaotic.
