What about adding a "Quest Log" after a ship returns from a quest? It would contain some inside jokes and humor, along with seriousness. A bit like The Battle Cats, actually. Also, I would like for ships to sometimes enter galaxies and steal technologies, destroy other ships, then fly away, etc, with the explanation that they're questing ships from another galaxy.

Yeah I actually meant to do something like this initially, like have a current status of what it's up to and then offer that as a log. I never really found the time to implement it though, moved on to other fun things instead :)
