Add TSS app to show Event Controller status (as with Emotion Controller)

I would like to suggest combining of two concepts that already exist in Space Engineers to make a new and useful feature.

The first concept is the information panel within the Event Controller's control terminal. This is attached (Concept 1.png). This show detailed information about the Event Controller's state.

The second concept is the ability to choose remote output displays from within the Emotion Controller. This acts like a TSS app, except that it is not configured from the display surface provider but from the Emotion Controller. This shows a face. I have attached a screenshot of the UI for this (Concept 2.png)

The resulting new feature that I would like to see, is for the player to be able to choose display surfaces from the Event Controller, and for the text information in the Event Controller's infor panel to be rendered on those displays. This allows the player (the Engineer) to monitor their Event Controller behaviour on screens, in cockpits, etc. I have attached a mocked up screenshot of this (Resulting Feature.png).

This would not only allow the player to visually debug Event Controller behaviour, but also see interesting information such as the charge of batteries, the position of a piston, the amount of cargo space free and so forth. Much of this feature already exists in some form, so it would seem to me that this would be a relatively inexpensive feature to add to the game.
