About this mod

Overview
After growing tired of feeling "lost" within X4, I was compelled to write this mod to give the player another way to track major events unfolding in the universe, without having to watch the map like a hawk, or scan through buy/sell orders to get a feel for what products are booming and which ones are tanking in the dynamic economy. The mod tracks major events within the categories below, and generates a dynamically written news event + notification, saving it into the player's tips section of the logbook.
GNN Politics
You can use the "ticker" (CrimeWatch, Politics, MarketTalk) as a filter when viewing events in the logbook
To suppress logbook spam, there is a chance for some types of events as to whether they will generate a news entry or not. Territory changes will always generate a news event, but pirate activity and ware shortages for example may not. Some player galaxies may be noiser than others, depending on other mods in use (such as VRO+FE+FOCW). This mod was tested with Faction Enhancer but should not have compatibility issues with other major overhaul mods.
