I was on the brink of proposing this myself. If hp can be recorded, it seems reasonable that shields should to. Perhaps the amount of information revealed should depend on the difference between the ship's sensor volume and its target's, modified by Q.
For weapons bays, number is not so important. Perhaps percentage of volume dedicated to weapons bays/turrets. You would not know overall volume, of course, and amount of armour obfuscates its proportionality to hitpoints. That would seem a reasonable compromise.
