Hi!

Would it be possible to aggregate messages of minefields? I.e. that you get only 1 message per minefield you spotted, and not x times the same message but from different ships.
If there's more than one ship spotting the same minefield, they could be listed in the "From" part of the according message.

I know this is a change to the original VGA Planets. But it doesn't change the gameplay, it just improves the overview in the message section.
All those duplicate minefield messages are like spam.

I agree.

There was a neat summary format already in a thread in here somewhere...

An aggregate message would also be extremely helpful with Darksense.  Upto 40 messages is not uncommon and most of these would be duplicates.

I support aggregate messages, not just minefields, but also sensor sweeps and related missions. PHost does condense most scanner messages.

Good proposal. Aggregate duplicate sensor sweep, dark sense, etc. messages as well.
