Requested Journal Changes

Please add Commander name sooner in the journal. We start seeing friends online before we know who's friends they are.

Please move "event":"Commander" from loading game to before the friends list loads at the main menu.

-----

Out of all requested changes listed here this one is the most important
Please add minor faction conflicts into Location & FSDJump for each faction listed.
E.G.
"ActiveConflict":{ "systemname": "sol", "state":"war" }
,"PendingConflict":{ "systemname": "sol", "state":"civil war" }
,"RecoveringConflict":{ "systemname": "sol", "state":"election" }

Since conflicts are a global state, a conflict in system A prevents conflict in all other systems, making this highly important information - and some minor factions can be in excess of 20 systems; travelling to all systems for all factions to collect conflict states is impractical (and it's currently available in every station news).



-----

Please add "ExpansionSystemName" to Location & FSDJump for each faction in state expansion, retreat or investment. (including pending/recovering states)

-----

Force windows notification of journal updates when journal is flushed to disk; so changes are picked up automatically by filewatcher without having to do crazy things to trick windows into triggering changes.


-----

add MissionIds to combat kills for mission targets (civilian/pirate/cz etc).

-----

for merit giving valid power play kills (eg enemy faction, controlled system) add "powerplay_voucher":"30"; into murder event.

NPC Ship Launched Fighter kills that give merits are not being recorded in the journal - and so their merits awarded are being missed.

-----

"Vehicle destroyed" events for fighter and SRV destruction and vehicle state tracking.

-----

"Limpet used" event for limpet cargo tracking (this would trigger as soon as a limpet is deployed)

-----

"Cargo lost" event for cargo lost to hatchbreaker limpets, damaged cargo hatches, etc.

-----

Please add beacon name and Mission ID (list: could be multiple missionIds for the same tourist beacon) to tourist beacons

-----

Make TouristDestinations a json friendly list within missions rather than semi-colon delimited

-----

Please include controlling faction to "event":"DockingGranted"
Please extend StationType for outposts documenting which type of outpost (industrial/military/civilian etc)

Please add StationType to "event":"DockingGranted"
"Mission status" event on initial startup for mission tracking (like we already have with "Loadout", but for missions)
Please add "Client Exit" event when the client exits/quits/crashes

These two would be very useful to me as well - even in situations where scanning all of a minor faction's systems *is* practical, it requires a lot of extra work to interpret the data correctly, and the distinction between "None" and "Conflict elsewhere" can be difficult to determine reliably.

(The others all sound good too, of course, even if I wouldn't use them myself)

It's a journal, not the Elite Dangerous CAN bus.

"End of journal" is trivial to deduce by the way, it's just end of file.

"Client Exit" would be a more appropriate description of what I need. because the end of file is a moving target ;)

updated description.

I would love all these suggested additions to the journal, But agree the conflict states is the most important one of the lot!

Any chance we get a journal entry with the Minor Faction influences values and states when opening the system map for a specific system?

I've updated the list with the journal features that I know have been implemented. The rest as far as I'm aware are outstanding.

Thank you.
