Summary0013650: Combat: Provide more info on what is going on?
DescriptionThis could be done e.g. via the message log:
- The RAV Granite just deployed a squadron of Lancers
- Shields on ship X are about to fail...
- ...

I think you get the general idea.
The main reason I came across this idea is the fact that squadrons deployed of off screen surprised me more than once. Could be I just should have just checked whether the coast is still clear before setting my course, though ;)...

Honestly I think that gets into overkill, and there's no space on the screen to do that -- the message log would overlap the minimap. Frankly I think that everything is represented well on the battlefield already, and if you're getting surprised by stuff offscreen... well, look before you leap. ;)
