Extended Edition update part 1 out now!

The red lines are useful to me - I know I'm not the only one here who's scrolled off to watch enemy ships only to get a 'game over' because the lack of any kind of indicator that my flagship was dying meant that I had no warning to jump away.

They are kind of jarring in their contrast to the background, yet they're impossible to miss, too. I can't really advocate removing a feature that's saved me from more than one lost game sneaking up on me. Making it optional wouldn't be a problem, though.
