The Ship's Log needs improvement.

Ideally, I would prefer several tabs, so I can better sort all the log info.

Preferred tabs:
ALL - shows all ships log data
TRADE - shows all incoming AND outgoing trades
BATTLE - shows all incoming AND outgoing ship/planet combat messages


The ship's log is a great feature. Unfortunately, With all the increased activity coming from base combat, pvp, trades, and other messages, the log has started to become a source of intense frustration for myself and perhaps others. If I don't take a close look at my log at least once every 24 hours, I will miss something. Even if I do take the time to evaluate the log, I still sometimes miss important messages like "Planet X is under attack!" because it's so short, and buried between strings of longer messages. A simple sorting mechanism such as tabs would turn the ship's log mess into a helpful source of information once again. Thanks for reading and bumping if you support this suggestion.

I completely agree, I was posting on a similar suggestion earlier today about a combat log specifically to make it easier to identify the ship you have disabled, raided, or hacked when badge hunting as to not hit the same person twice.
I concur with your suggestion, the ship's log can be a mess of info, and it would certainly help those badge-hunting from disabling the ship twice.

Yes, long overdue :)

We've put some time into this already. It should be able to make it into the next release, as well.

+1 to this.

Just today, I found out that someone had triggered the Xecti trap I installed on one of my best planets. And I've got no announcement for it. Either that or the announcement was buried under heaps and heaps of information.

I suggest to make 3 tabs:
  • General/Status: Daily rewards, promotions, Elite disabled, trade, base rewards, achievements (should this feature come to be implemented)
  • Planetary alert: Planet(s) alerted, enemy attacking our planet(s)
  • Battle alert: enemy ships that have been legion alerted (should be very useful in case of war), Elite NPCs alerted, Base battle alerts

Thank you for listening, Dan. You're the best!

I feel the following might make good tabs:
ship: everything that happens to ur ship, traps trigger, disable, legion repair, hack, raid etc
planet: everything that happens to planets, be it a tray trigger, attack or even if someone flux ur scanned planet
alerts: any type of alerts, let it be NPC, planet, player whatever
others: com and daily reward msg etc, things u don't care
and ofc, the default "all" tab
