Spy log concatenation

If you spy someone looking for... say... planet info you might get a few numbers and the rest are ???. So you end up spying them 15 times and jumping back and forth between logs to see the whole picture, or alot of copy pasta into Vi.

I would like to see the ability for your spy's to simply pool all the information into one report. I thought about selecting reports and selecting 'join reports' or something but that's over the top UI and back end wise.

So on the spy log place a button saying spy again, which will, as it states spy the target again, and parse all the old spy info to the next log. Using the new spy info 1st and filling in any of the blanks with the old info. Then to finish it of any info that was from an older spy, change the physical appearance of it. Perhaps make it italics so that reader of the report is aware this information may have changed or rather isnt current.

Thoughts, changes?

Would make spying to easy imho, if it would eliminate the chance of getting the same report multiple times.

Or perhaps if your covert is like 10x more than the enemy's covert, just display all the info anyway!

lol @ CABAL, i feel your pain. Spying someone 20x, when their covert is like 100m, and you have 13T, to see 1 planet statistic...

While it could be useful. I would suggest possibly using the personal Log, or sending yourself message with the persons name in the heading, and then their info in the message body.

If this was going to be done, i think being able to delete the report, and edit reports would be more helpful. But have a tag, so people can't falsely accuse people of stuff.
