Is there any plan to improve the combat log? It would be nice to have some detail added including e-war, logi reps, etc. For new players learning PvP logs are a helpful way to look back and learn what happened during an engagement.

The current log shows damage and scrams. More data please!

Cheers,

Good idea.

Also, the combat log, along with the fitting screen, is one of those windows in EVE that freezes the user interface when it is opened. I learned this the hard way when I had the drone window and combat log tabbed together, and my ship exploded. Loading the combat log as the drone window disappeared from "over" it made the game freeze at the most awkward moment possible.

Combat log is in several ways one of the little paper cuts still left in EVE.

Here's what's helpful. If you are still in one piece after an engagement, keep doing what you are doing. If you are space dust, try something else.

No need for a log to tell you that. Common sense will suffice.

The devil is in the details. Common sense is paramount of course, but supplementing that with details is a smart choice.

Grrr.

Well,of course there are some that don't mind running into a wall repeatedly until they find the door by accident, but there are also those of us who would prefer turning on the light. Blink

This seems like an improvement that would be perfect for Steve Ronuken to champion.


In the meanwhile, some players use FRAPS to study their engagements.
