Default Re: Enemy movement (turn-based)

Actually, you know, after thinking about it some more, if I was just able to get an additonal log message somethng like "Phong fleet of 12 ships exited system via Jinook warp point", then I could easily live with it as it is. I like fog of war but with cloaked ships, storms, etcetera entering into it as well, it sure makes a mess for tracking enemy movements without at least some point of reference entering and leaving a system.

In fact, I think adding a new cloaked "sensor base" that you could build on warp points that would give you the above log message would be pretty cool and add something to the game. Maybe MM envisions the drones doing something functionally similar eventually in scouting out enemy positions, I don't know. As any good general knows, without good, fairly recent intelligence on the positions of enemy forces, you're dead meat. And I worry about these things.
