Optimized Damage Notifications

I have some other ideas regarding the HUD and damage notifications, and agree with this idea in general. Drone damage notifications are pointless for the most part, and clutter up your overview with what amounts to spam in most respects.

It's not useful if you can't read it. More often it covers notifications that are much more releventbased on your ability to affect the outcome of those notifications. If you need to know the status of your drones you can check the drones window, and their damage output is pretty much irrelevent.

Don't get me wrong. Drones are useful as an alternative form of DPS; just not so much so that you need to be spammed with messages from 5+ ships on one client.

I'll possibly post some of my thoughts regarding HUD modifications later; suffice to say, I'm interested in HUD replacements that do less to sever imersion in the game, and more to generate the feeling that you are actually piloting a ship through a user friendly electronic interface architechture.
