Tell us who gave/revoked a key to what when

"You were given an access key"

GREAT! Now I understand the Key ID system, but a MAJORITY of other players do not. So if you guys could make it "%username% has %sent/revoked% your %user/owner% key to %capship/station% at XXXX 24:00:00" instead of the generic cyan key message that would be LOVELY.

+1 The current print statement is rather terse

You may want to consider adding a silent/terse/verbose setting in the configuration to turn off /show reduced or show full messages to keep the screen clutter under control for some users. As a PC user I like having a complete and detailed message about most events however phone users don't have the same amount of real estate and messages tend to block their view

+1, and while we are at it make it easier to delete keys you have in bulk. Like perhaps a check box system similar to how most email systems do it.

Huh, for some reason I thought they'd done this already, but I guess I was mistaken.

Definite +1 to this.

For the capship things, i think it would be better to arrange it thus, assuming i had just shared a key.

"Nyscersul has sent a user key for their capital ships."

This uses the plural for the fact the current key system does not differentiate between the goli/dent keys. I think this is appropriate long term but others may disagree, and want to have "capital ships" replaced with Goliath/Trident Type M, as appropriate once the functionality is added.

Had it been arranged using the capital ship's given name, it would become quite verbose.

"Nyscersul has sent you a user key for '*The Eye of Terror'."

Plus, the players name is far more important than the ship's given name as often players do not name them, and so this would likely result in "Player has sent you a user key for 27463", and ambiguity will rear its ugly head.

So, all you'd need is short messages, i think.

"Nyscersul has sent you a user key for their capital ships."
"Nyscersul has sent you a user key for Pelatus C12."

compared to

"You have received an access key" or whatever it already says hehe

(Sorry i write so much. I am a tangent magnet hehe)
