Quality of Information
Now that we have a great quality of life update (though horrid arena payout times still need to be dealt with), how about we move to a quality of information update? Just two off the top of my head...

For the problem with seeing buffs/debuffs on opposing characters, the simplest fix would be for the buffs/debuffs icons to be shown at the top of the screen to the left of the selected enemy.
If I knew how to photoshop, I'd post an example. Hopefully the description was easy to understand.
Please excuse my English, it is my first language but me don't not talk it much good.
I really don't like that idea, I like to have a overview on buffs/debuffs on all characters.
One easy way to fixe the issue stated in this thread would be just add a number above the buff/debuff if this was affecting one character more than once.
Eh, that's not as neat a fix as you think. Someone drops 4 dots that last for 2 turns. someone else drops 2 that last for 1 turn, someone else drops one that lasts for 3 turns. Now you have 3 different amounts of dots with 3 different turn lengths. They would have to have 2 numbers on the icon, and it would still be displayed 3 times. However, I still think this should be done as it would help greatly.
Now I see no reason why both this and the other suggestion couldn't occur simultaneously, in fact that would be ideal. Make the buffs on people's heads unclickable, you just click the toon instead, and the descriptions are next to the icon, or can be reached by clicking icons next to their portrait, but are still displayed on people's heads in the new condensed version. This dual approach has the added benefit of making it so that buffs and debuffs don't get in the way of being able to select the character or ship that you wish to.
