Combat News

Please remove the "kills" from Combat News, which are made in Fleet Practice.

It is annoying  and confusing.

Thank you.

If you can't do that then give us a port spotting mechanic where if you're in a port, and an enemy ship passes near any of your other ports you get a overhead message saying 

"x nation ship spotted off the coast of Ays" for example.

More appropriate IMO.

+1 to Fenris suggestion.

Regarding the reply... that would something for the irrational DLC. Naval Action: Port Sitting...

... oh wait  ... some fellows already testing that for quite a while.

Just doesn't make sense that a 12 man fleet that passes in sight of a port doesn't alert the guard there. I guess it's suppose to favor the lone hunter but it doesn't do much to facilitate PVP when half the time you get there the enemy is long gone.

The only reason I think it stays is because without any sort of heat map people wouldn't be able to tell if anything interesting is happening in game, and combat news is just a less colorful heat map that is slow to update

Just show those kills in a different colour which will mean they come from Fleet Practice room.

Combat News were also displayed for tournament room, not just fleet practice. (to not forget about that case).

Didn`t know that..Thanks for the heads up and for the suggestion.

It's a useless spam

It would also be good for just different nations like the old port outlines on the map. Better than nothing, but UI is coming up so we'll see what happens. I would be pretty buttblasted if it was just a reskin/recoloring of port UI.
