Re: The list of messages in the bottom bar during battles
An asterix is a damage star, and is part of the post-penetration damage results notification.
You basically get one for a crewman killed, or a weapon or engine damage result, or other major catastrophic penetration result. Try looking at the current statistics for one of your own units that has suffered such a result and you'll probably see this - might be down to 2 men from 4, may be missing the main gun or bow MG etc.
It was never explained in the SSI "documents" either.
