One small part done ... well mostly done for the moment. The Player Profile / Units page looks like the attached screenshot now. As you can see it looks more organized and structured. Furthermore you will have the option to rename your crewmembers as well as the platform itself.

When a new player registers he will get his first platform and crew with generic names ... his first job should be to customize his boat/ship/plane. Something thats not yet implemented is an image for the ...
