Text Crawl

The text notifications take up a lot of real estate. I find myself flying into mines and trying desperately to click the text down so I can see what is going on. Is there a way to set the max number of messages?

You could try and increase the number of text events displayed in the game options, but they'll take up even more screen space that way.
Eventually, there should be a seperate message log screen where the player could review in detail everything that's happened in the current sector so far.

I find things get especially bad when two or more powerful races are at war. There is a constant stream of notifications which are difficult to keep up with and often start to block the action. Not sure how this could be handled better.

maybe with filters? For exaple, click on race Fringe, have lastest messages from Fringe, create a new button clear filter to reset them and so on ?

In the Game Options try setting the Max Text Events to 3 (or whatever number you choose >0). I f you feel you missed something you can always use the little arrow keys to scroll back through the events that are older.

I'd still prefer a seperate screen for that, with the filter function gornova suggested and maybe even hotlinks to the race relations or negotiation screens,
should a message concern something the player needs to deal with.

Thank you, PixelLord. Somehow, I missed that.

There needs to be a font-size control. There's no reason the text needs to be that large really, or at least not adjustable.

back with my old idea
