What we really need is an after turn event report. This would list import events and be able to react to them. It could be another tab with your colonies, resources, etc. Some examples are provided below.
- Combat results (click to zoom to battle area, even if all my ships destroyed)
- special events
- Tech complets
- Colony messages:
- approval on decline (drops below 100%)
- approval critical
- started the forever project from end of list (forgot what they are called)
- others?
- It should also include enemy sightings, as sometimes enemies zoom into and right out of a units scan area during turn processing. We can't look everywhere while the turn is processing, so it would be good to be notified that unit x spotted enemy ship y (click to zoom to sighting location)
- diplomacy messages
This report tab should be filterable and each event should be clickable to go to the appropriate screen or place on map.
