Would you change the color of some of the text in the ship's log.

I'd suggest graying out messages like

"The Sha'din Shockfighter disrupts your systems, lowering your defense by 50% for 30 minutes."

Maybe make Planetary Attacks RED
"Planet Name" is under Attack.

Finding personally relevant stuff in between the (on average) 20-50 NPC shares a day PLUS the accompanying NPC debuffs on ones i attack, in the ship's log is getting to be a PITA.
