[Spaceships] Keeping track of space combat

I like to make or use worksheets to keep track of game details, and there is one area for which I'd especially like to do this: the abstract combat system from GURPS Spaceships. However, I have yet to find a suitable way to format such a sheet. There is just too much information to keep track of! Twenty systems, power points, disabled or destroyed status, dST/HP, current HP, Hnd, SR, HT, Move, SM, dDR, maneuver, range to each enemy, facing toward each enemy, situation toward target, damage caused by each weapon, acceleration, delta-V, and preferably Piloting, Dodge, Gunner, and Sensor scores being used by the crew. And that's just for one ship! I've been working on a sheet to take care of this, but I'm not satisfied with what I've managed so far.

How do others keep track of all this stuff during a game?
