Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I can see why they would remove the logs from the loot table -- it would be easy to lose track of which ones are still relevant down the line, etc. However, I very much like the idea and believe they should incorporated in the journal and new discovery probe system.

This is how I envision it:
-You kill a pirate and your ship manages to decode an outgoing transmission or something similar.
-Most cases the transmission is meaningless and your ship's log automatically filters them out. However, on occasion you intercept one that includes vital information like system location, etc. Your ship's log stores these and automatically alerts you to them.
-Now they act like the previous drops, except they include relevant information like timestamp for when the message was intercepted and an indicator showing ongoing activity from the receiving end of the message (i.e., the site is still active).
-When you arrive in the system and apply your discovery probe instead of having to scan down the site to pinpoint it, you'll automatically have a 100% warp in thanks to the log and prior information about the receiving end of the message (we can elaborate on the lore later).

Actually I prefer the idea of them being a lootable item as they used to be, that when consumed adds the bookmark and/or entry to your journal.

This salvaged data from a destroyed Blood Raider vessel reveals the following:
"My prayers have not been answered. Perhaps I have fallen from grace since the incident back at the outpost in Huola. I may have to make up for it in some way. It's hard to do anything now after a few of the brothers were taken into custody by those heretic Concord officials. May the curse of the Sani Sabik fall on those wretched souls."
