If you've ever looked down the bottom of the screen, you might have noticed everything is displayed there. 'You have donated your payday of $XX to John', 'Noob was forced to eject by Whore', etc etc.

Now, normally I don't care, but there is one situation where I would like a change. When a miner, after being attacked and repaired, decides to head back to base. The sound effect plays, and which miner it is displays at the bottom of the screen. However, if there is a lot of stuff going on that message is going to be overwritten by a new one very quickly.

I would like to be able to see that message more easily, to read which miner it is. Would it be possible to display more lines of messages, or somehow seperate messages that refer to miners (or AI and bases in general) and display them somewhere else, perhaps in the main chat (if you are on the command* wing)


* - Or whatever wings get broadcasted to in R2.

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.
