Do you really think it's feasible to create an interface to read and use the SE4 UI?

Certainly.

The toughest part would be the text recognition, but the fonts are all known, and the text locations are in fixed positions too. (With some simple adjustments for screen resolution, but I already deal with that in the Windowed SE4 tool)

Giving orders should be easy too:
"Select ship X" --> Go to ships list, scroll down until the ship name is found, then click it.
"Move/warp/etc to a location" --> press hotkey, click galaxy map, click coordinates.

I guess I missed the threads on the windowed SE4 tool. What are you using to screen-scrape and manipulate the UI?

AutoHotKey is what the Windowed SE4 Tool uses.

Sweet, SJ. Your Windowed SE4 Tool is great.
