Destruction notification#16

When you drive underground and go through lava, if a module is destroyed, you will get a notification saying what module got destroyed with the message “Destroyed by heat”.
Why not have this notification everytime a module is destroyed ? So if you’re far away from your ship and it gets attacked, you will receive the “Drillship is taking damage” notification, but you can’t know if it’s bad or not (COGs can shoot once before dying to turrets). If you receive a notification like “Refinery T2 destroyed by bullet shot”, you’ll know something is up.

Maybe it would be better to only get those special notifications once u install a specific station, like the “Damage Control Station” or smth

That works as well

The Damage Control Station could keep a log of what was destroyed and allow the player to designate different Klaxon sounds to the different kinds of warnings. The Klaxon noises could even be custom, similar to the “Logo” with a folder for each noise and a chain of designations. Each player would hear the noise they have designated for each klaxon file.

Obviously in single player this isn’t as big of a deal, but in PvP multiplayer, knowing if the damage is your own fault, a crew member’s actions, environmental, a COG threat, or and external human entity could be crucial.

It would also be nice for Damage Control to have a basic layout of the ship with red lights to point out where hull breaches have occurred.
