Personally I think Stars! had the best news collating system I've ever seen in a 4x game. You don't want a message type (i.e. that a building has been built) you click "hide" and you never see it again unless you select "show hidden messages".

That's just one little checkbox. You wouldn't need the "research, construction, combat" sub-categories (which are practically useless to me because they all contain news items that I'm un-interested in so I stick to "All").

You don't HAVE to reinvent the wheel you know.
Keep It Simple
I agree.

Fear the squirrel.
