Re: chat logs

Cool ideas.

But it's not going to happen. The chat log is currently a hack that just outputs the text from the full-screen history. Having it do any more is not going to make the game more fun for 99.9% of the people who play.

Some of what you want will come in the form of ship logs.

I'm really sorry to hear this, Peghead. I frequently wish that the chat log -- even inside the game, never mind the log on disk -- somehow distinguished between /say, /tell, /crew, and /jcrew comments. Being able to go back over a conversation and know who said what to whom is important.
