I haven't really bothered with it yet as I've been mostly busy just having fun in space, but I'm getting up the ranks now and getting into the nit-picky side of it just like ground-based combat. I'd like to know how effective my attacks are, how much damage my special does, etc, but I can't load up the combat chat dialog and see how much of the rear shield my last volley of blasts took away from the enemy. Last night, the only thing it showed me was that I got a kill and looted a credit chip. More detail would be kinda helpful. So as to not get it overcluttered (if each shot fired counted as an failedattack move, it'd be way too much information). But each successful hit with a damage count would be prettynice. We can have test duels now, and I suppose could calculate by first looking at the stats of someone's shield generator and then calculating what % of the hitpoints got taken away, but it'd be quite a hassle. This is what the combat message window was made for. Why doesn't it do anythingin JTL?
