Either way, that data needs to be stored in the Last system seen info stuff.

Why? If you don't have the data why it needs to be stored?

I guess it depends on the programming language. C++ bools are 1 byte. 0 is false, any other value is true (and those values can be lots of things other than just 1 ). MM uses Delphi, which IIRC is similar to C++.

It it indeed depends on the programming language. C++ bools are 1 byte, but it's not difficult to make a new class which stores 8 bools to one char. I have never programmed with Delphi, but I believe it's possible to make bools of one bit if necessary.

Yeah, you regard necessary information as unnecessary. The thing is, people do make use of this questioned information, so it has to be stored. Otherwise, you would tick off a portion of the fan base.

You mean if MM makes a new addition so an empire can see systems like they were when the empire Last saw them, but the ship names and damage isn't included, it would tick off a portion of the fan base? You have a funny way to draw conclusions.
