So I was messing around in Photoshop, and came up with a (quick) design for the targeting computer that fuses the current (TIE Fighter-XWA-style) view with the original layout in X-Wing itself (where this design seems to be loosely based on the scans of shuttle Tyderium in ROTJ).
[i]I'm not necessarily suggesting that this should be implemented, but rather just posting it to show what an attempt to merge these might look like.

In this case, the bar graphs from the original are used to represent the hull, shields, system, and speed of the target, along with labels to show the actual value, and aligned in boxes that roughly correspond to the original.
Note that in this example, the scale on the axis of SPD would need to be modified depending on the max speed of the targeted craft - i.e. a TIE fighter can't go faster than 150, and by my reckoning, the Missile Boat using SLAMs is the fastest possible craft max speed (I measured somewhere north of 432+), so this value would be based on the max of whatever that particular craft is.
