Ships drop 'Insert Faction' logs. For example 'Angels Cartel Log' These then stack with other logs of the same faction. The log itself has nothing on it other than a basic description. "This damaged ships log came from an Angels Cartel ship, Decryption of this log may provide further information"
This solves the issue of static descriptions & item bloat/tracking as it means there aren't a million variants out as physical items that all have to be updated when things change, but only a few, one for each faction. These could also exist for Empire factions possibly & even Sleepers.
To use these logs, they can then be decrypted via some sciencey based skill. This adds a value to the science skills for explorers, as well as a time based element, so you can't spam 100 of them at will and blitz, due to the decryption time.
When decrypted you get a mail notifying you (New notification category), with a short blurb. This is where you get the mentioned 'Funny' stuff. Since this occurs when decrypted though, these can be simple database entries that are much easier for CCP to change over whenever they want, rather than physical items needing updating, since a change won't impact anyone else who has already decrypted it, only people in the future. If it leads to an expedition, you then get the standard journal expedition entry also.
This could be further extended by having 'Damaged' logs 'Partial' logs & 'Complete' logs to give tiers of likely-hood to getting expeditions from them as well as quality of expeditions easily.
just pop up a box saying that your ship has determined a location of interest from the logs and store it in the expedition tab in the journal as current escalations do. Simply treat this as an exploration escalation and minimal code changes should be required. I suggested this a while back as a means for creating exploration Epic Arcs too. This should work for both.
Forgot to add that popping it into expeditions means that the logs aren't saleable either |

would be interesting if some of this content required 3 or 4 logs combined path-+find-+er (pthfndr, p+๑th-)n. 1. One that discovers a new course or way, especially through or into unexplored regions.

very cool +1 EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY?No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided""So it will be up to a pilot to remain vigilant wherever they may be flying and be ready for anything at any time" |
