One possible issue I see is that (to my knowledge) there is no mechanism
by which the view code could determine whether the unit you see is a
"ship-types" unit or a "fedmarker" unit.  You would need a way for the
views of other units to override the views of "lrsensors" and
"damlrsensors" units when you get close enough for more accurate
short-range sensors to take over.

This would not be easy to fix, as you would need some mechanism to
determine which unit view would take priority.  This would have to be
added as either a unit property (u_view_priority) or a table
(uu_view_priority), depending on how much detail you need.
