Like the title says, I think it would be nice to have an overview column that shows the status of player structures and pos modules, namely the statuses that show up in space next to the object's corresponding bracket that say things like "anchored", "online", "incapacitated", and "invulnerable". This would make it much easier to assess the status of things like POS modules especially when they're clustered and it's hard to tell which modules are being referred to when there's a large cluster of several different statuses.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Or you could target the item and see it more clearly. Oh wait, you're cloaked up, aren't you?

Or you could use the "Look At" feature for those clumps. Oh wait, you're farther than 100km, aren't you?

If by "referred to" you mean "someone (fleet commander) is telling you what to target", you could ask them to broadcast the target or use tags.

There are a few options already available. I'm not saying your suggestion isn't good. I'm simply giving you additional ways to "fix" your "problem".

Thank you.

I think this is a great idea.

It should be combined with the option to turn off the "Anchored/Online/Incapacitated" text on brackets. Since the brackets are a major performace drain when it comes to fps this would improve the game playability on older systems.

And who would not like to be able to sort their Overview by "Online" status of the defenses? Easy and fast way to see how much you need to bring to the posbash.
