New radar mapper/hyperspace analyzer HUD

[robn]

So last night I decided that I completely hate the radar mapper in Pioneer because I have to keep clicking the button to get an update on the target stats, when I'd rather just be fighting it. So today I removed that method and added stuff to the hud to display the data in realtime. A bit like Frontier, but with more pretty Pioneer gauges:Since it seemed like basically the same thing, I gave the hyperspace cloud analyzer the same treatment:Does anyone prefer the button? If there's no particular opposition then I'll submit this, but I want to make sure I'm missing obvious reason that the current method is preferred.Code is here if you want to try it yourself.https://github.com/robn/pioneer/tree/radarmapper-hyperanalyzer-hud

One of the lovely things about Pioneer is it's willingness to acknowledge when Frontier was a bit lacking or outdated, and improve upon it. I see this little tweak very much in that mindset, and as such should be applauded. Anything that raises the chances of the pilot's survival; we shouldn't be fighting the ship's interface at the same time as the fighting the people trying to kill us! I love this! Excellent work, Robn!

Yeah, I'm not up to compiling code either, but it looks excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the next alpha!
