There are some very tiny ship icons that are displayed in the Ships in Orbit list (shown in Starport view and also when you click on a planet). These icons are so small that it is virtually impossible to distinguish what kind of ship they represent.
I propose that you add "tooltips" (hopefully you know what I mean...) that appear when you let the mouse hover over the icon for a second. We at least need to know what ship class we are looking at for our own ships.
