I'm not really liking the way flags look in a modern or future era mod. I'd rather see something like a HUD with info on the unit and its civ. This might be good to merge the flag's role with that of the ring that appears around a selected unit. That way you get the effect of having HUD info pop-up whenever you select a unit and disappear otherwise. So my question is has anyone looked into modifying either of these parts of of the game? I expect its possible to remove flags, but with that active unit ring I have no idea where to begin. Anyone tried to mess with these?

I second this. Though I don't really have a problem with the ring (it would be nice to see a different look to it though), I really don't like the flags. I always felt they got in the way.
Abman, I don't know if you're inquiring about this with reference to our mod specifically, but I do know the main SMAC recreators at Apolyton are doing some major interface overhauls. I don't think I saw flags as on their to-do list, but they've already done pretty extensive work on recreating the SMAC interface for Civ4. See here
