Hey Commanders.
I'm working on building a VA profile utilizing all of the EDDI events. I'm at the point where I am building the "Fine Incurred" event, and ran into a small issue.
I'm using EDDI and the "Write text to file" action in VA to create a running log of whats going on in game. I then use SnakeTail to watch this log file on my secondary screen.
For immersion's sake when the Fine Incurred action pops, I want some more descriptive info for the crime type. EDDI scrapes the type from the journal, and they are directly from the Journal documentation:
Assault
Murder
Piracy
Interdiction
IllegalCargo
DisobeyPolice
FireInNoFireZone
FireInStation
DumpingDangerous
DumpingNearStation
DockingMinor_BlockingAirlock
DockingMajor_BlockingAirlock
DockingMinor_BlockingLandingPad
DockingMajor_BlockingLandingPad
DockingMinor_Trespass
DockingMajor_Trespass
CollidedAtSpeedInNoFireZone
CollidedAtSpeedInNoFireZone_HullDamage
What I am going to do is use If statements to change "IllegalCargo" to something like "Transporting illegal cargo"
What I am looking for is help from the community for more descriptive language for the various crime types. Some are obvious, such as Assault, Murder, Piracy, what have you. But I'm not 100% sure what the difference is between DockingMajor and DockingMinor, and "DisobeyPolice" is a little vague as well.
Thanks for the help commanders!

. I posted it here because the information can be used for anyone, not just someone using VA and EDDI. Maybe one of the FDevs or a tool developer who figured it out already could clarify what those entries mean in the journal log.
