Infocard /ui improvements

Is there a way to get the infocard to always display... like sometimes tracking units by mouse from a distance just to look at the infocard is a bit annoying as they are moving away from the pointer.

Seems the infocard only displays on mouseover, would be nice if there were some more options to allow one to keep the card up for longer

maybe if I had selected a structure/ship/planet the infocard could stay displayed with those stats until I click on something different, with

or maybe hotkey to lock the infocard to whatever is currently displayed.. be it selected or just mouseover

If you select a unit and mouseover its picture in the bottom UI panel, it shows the infocard.

i hadn't noticed that

.. but is there not a way to get that functionality with just holding a hotkey down instead(or a button toggle), ie as if the mouse was over that area... but the hotkey method could lock the currently displayed card, so you were free to move your mouse around, do few other things while still been kept upto date on things with the infocard.

think there are so many areas this game could do with UI improvements.. hope the modding community picks it up that or the DEVS!

infocards show incorrect damage data and ignore the biggest elements when it comes to damage/armour. I only read this thread since I thought you meant to improve the infocards to actually show damage/armour info correctly.

type of armour:
can use colour on the armour amount to symbolize type or add a little icon next to armour that has at most two letters, e.g. VL - verylight, L light.

type of weapon damage:
can use colour on the dps amount to symbolize type, e.g. bright green = verylight, dark red = veryheavy, grey = capital or add a little icon next to the dps that has at most two letters, e.g. VL - antiverylight, L - antilight

actual proper dps:
showing 1.33 instead of 1 is not gonna make anyone go crazy, well except for the guy who found it confusing to divide 16/12 (yes there is a post like that on the forum).
