Make local news articles available to the Journal

[Ian Doncaster]

At the moment there is a lot of information given to players in-game that's only available from the local news articles in stations, which makes it difficult to check back on later.

Examples:
- station repairs detailed totals
- which system is the expansion source / which system a faction just expanded to
- engineer progress updates
- system traffic reports

Making these available to the Journal when a player docks with a station - either as part of the Docked event, part of a separate LocalNews event, or in a separate transient file as market/outfitting information is currently sent - would make it possible for third-party tools to assist players with this information, which would help bring events to a wider audience by encouraging cooperation.

Good idea. Plenty of useful information there that would provide some local history.

Yes please. I very much want both local articles and scanned tourist beacons and incoming messages to our comms panel to have their full text shared in our journal!

I'd like to refresh this request for inclusion of Local News in the journal. If it won't take too much of dev time and effort, their inclusion would enhance the data available to 3rd party tools. At the moment, this info has to be manually entered to keep historical records.
Thank you, and o7.
