what do you think of the new spotting UI?

Yep.
Omniraptor:
Personally I find the white rectangle to be immersion breaking. Also I find players carrying limitless one-caliber-fits-all ammo to be immersion breaking. Also I find chicken feet magically decreasing drag to be immersion breaking.
Facetiousness aside, this would be a rather large buff to sniping because you can more precisely tell a ship's lateral vector when aiming through cloud cover, and the precise locations of components instead of having to guesstimate based on minimap orientation.. I vote we test it in devapp first, like we do all such changes.
p.s. incorporating this into a rangefinder buff is a good idea IMO

I'm a hardcore RP'er... so, speaking of immersion,
the white box also breaks immersion. Just to give some perspective.

In adventure mode, when we might fight multiple weak (minion) ships at once, this could be very useful.
In skirmish, where we usually know what we are fighting, I don't know how this would work.

Being able to not only see where the enemy is through clouds (when spotted) you would also be able to see how their ship is positioned, thus making it easier to snipe out guns, or plan an according approach based on their momentum (M button OP).
I think this outline is okay, but maybe having not only the red outline, but the white box as well. Otherwise, the current system is fine.
EDIT: A lot of people talking about how "white shows up better."
Let's say we make the red outline White, instead. Thoughts on that?

It does, but its not as offensive as a glowing red/blue outline made from lazors.
