this would get more useful the bigger your legion is, so if your legion has 10 members you probably dont need to read this...

its so easy to miss important news posts in between npc shares and such. in the last 24 hours ive had 46 news updates, while counting i noticed i had a comm post that i hadnt seen, the other day i missed a planet getting conquered from me. so my suggestion is simple, add colour to either the time sent: 5 hours ago or the news itself: planet under attack or as a background fill colour of the message

for example:
npc shares, green
player shares/planet defence shares, yellow
planet invaided/attacked, red
comm posts, blue
rewards, lvls, research etc, purple

simple change(probably) but would make it easier and faster to see important news

Yes Please! I nearly missed one of my planets being taken due to the "spam" from alerts.

how will it be confusing?? 95% of the alerts will be npc shares so most the page will be green, its the few posts that arnt green that will catch your attension, even if you dont know what the colours mean the important ones will stand out alowing you to read them first...

Simplify it:
Keep alerts as they are
Have NPC/base rewards like the base shipment alert (blue and black box)
Have you being disabled/raided/hacked inside a yellow box
Have anything bad happening to your planets in a red box.

Also make a filter option (ship, planets and alerts), so you can eliminate some of the junk reports for quick scanning.
