How to see old system/game messages?

[StrayFeral]

So here is my problem:

- i am on a planet and hunting or mission. i didnt pay too much attention to the game/system messages going on the center of the screen. meanwhile i miss something important
- is there a way to see these messages back? like a log file? but inside the game

on other games there is often a window which opens from somewhere and you can scroll these. is such in PG?

if not, would be a great idea to have such functionality. cause i just saw few messages about server restart and they hide. well i wanted to see in what time the server will restart but... no way. or at least i don't know it.

speaking of which... on the top-left on the screen there are count-down timers for some promotions etc. would be great at least the server restarts to be count-downed there too! so we can see in real time how much time we left.

and finally speaking of restarts, since it's my first one i decided it's great idea not to stay on the planet nomatter i was on a safe place so went to orbit. even logged off. do i need to logoff actually? (on server restart)

thanks!

No, Pirate Galaxy doenst offer a file to see your message history

When the server restarts, all pilots logged in will be logged off anyway

thanks!

Okay here above you have the ingame chat bar, if you see the arrow I made, you click on that icon and the chat window will detach to a pop-up.
You will be able to read some chat passed by in this.

But no possibility to see any passed announcements.

You need to ask other players, or you can go check GM Support chat (Question mark upper right border -> Contact GM button. It will open up to chat if any gm is online)
They will be able to provide you with the right info, and to tell you how long time till server shut down.

To your comment about logging out, and going to the orbit, I agree that is the best you do when there will be a server shut-down, so you did well

Server Restart Times: Askone / Kalgan: 05:30 GMT+1 (04:30 GMT/UTC - 23:30 EST) Solaria / Aeria 05:30 EST (10:30 GMT/UTC - 11:30 GMT+1/UTC +1) - See Time Conversion (Server Times) for Time Explanation

I would like to point out that if you are on a mission and the mission requires you to do something. And as you say miss a mission message from the center of your screen you can review the mission text by using the tab in the top left of your game screen. Or use Ctrl as a hotkey

Unfortunally you cannot review system messages

I hope this answers your question on that point

Thank you! I know about the Ctrl and the left panel. But my point was exactly about the system messages. Anyway will try to deal with it.
