Default Re: Status of systems not presently seen

Why? If you don't have the data why it needs to be stored?
If the Last thing you saw was a ship with long range scanners that got destroyed, then the Last thing you saw was scans of the ships.

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.
Although you may not enjoy roleplaying your empire, there are a lot of people that do. Ship names are just one aspect of the RP supported by SE4. MM has made efforts to increase the amount of RP in the game from SE3 to SE4, so I doubt they would be willing to add a feature that cuts any of it.

The Last scan should be stored anyways even for ships you can see that are not in scanner range. What, your scan logs get wiped every day?
