Targeting
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Targeting information has been added. Requires software upgrades.
Information includes cargo quantity, and average market price.
A hangar will indicate stock for sale and the selling price.
Hull condition is displayed in the top bar below the target name. If the target
is a moth the shield bar will be displayed in the lower bar.
Police moths have access to criminal records.

Economy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cost of items is based on the manufacturing ingredients.
Raw material costs are those from 'itemdat' file. 
Selling to a hangar decreases hangar sale costs, buying increases costs. 
Hangars pay more for what they don't have.

Afterburner

'star shells' button. Energy is consumed briefly during ignition cycle and
reloading with a new fuel canister.
