ORIGINAL: Malevolence I do get combat messages when they start, but it doesn't include the location of the attack. The messages do not differentiate between when I am attacked versus when I initiate the attack -- in fact, I get no message that my ships are initiating an attack (with basic information on location). You are aware that clicking on the message brings you to the location? quote:
ORIGINAL: Malevolence A frigate from 1st Fleet is moving to Sol 4 Star Port to refuel. They will return when complete." Seems like adding messages for this would pretty quickly drive you crazy from message spam though. Maybe my games are different, but when I am fighting, my map is focused on what the Germans referred to as the Schwerpunkt... the focal point of my main effort. During wars, attack messages are spamming, so much so, that I replaced your klaxon. Had I not been able to, I may have uninstalled. Text messages rattling off in the top chat window are cheap, I can watch those and the current battle with no problems. So to answer these two points--- Bouncing around the map by clicking on the message is really a pain. Which is why I begged for location information in the ship/fleet summary window elsewhere. Messages rattling up a chat log are no problem for me. Just leave the klaxon off. If I could move and resize that chat log, I'll buy a second copy of the game--just as a thanks.
