Looks interesting. I'd like a more futuristic feel to the fonts, myself, but it's a very good start.

"Armour," huh? I take it you aren't from the US? :D

Not at all, just needs to be retooled a little.
Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought; all we ought to have said, and have not said; all we ought to have done, and have not done; I pray thee God for forgiveness.

That's a start.  I'm not one of the developers (just a consultant and an artist) so I'm not the one to ask. 

You might keep this in mind - some of this might need to lend itself to the instrumentation panel in the cockpit of a fighter or such.  Try throwing out several different ideas - let your imagination run wild.

Exactly.

Also, I'd get rid of the "Menu" button. We're going for as authentic as one can be from peering into the future. How many ships have a "Menu" button on them?

However, hang onto the font you used for Menu - I'd like it for a more pirate-y feel - aggressive, Predator-like.
