Drill Down Log Report?

I was thinking, the SEV log is a mess. Anyone agree?

The font is terrible, and the white on grey text runs together making it difficult to read. Furthermore, although it probably orders events in the time they occurred, isn't there a better way to organize the log display so as to make it readable, and grouping several different reporting features together?

I was thinking, if we can edit custom layouts for the report screens, why not be able to edit a custom layout for the event log? At least grouping like items together in a drill-down format would be preferable to the current mess that shows up with its limited clutter-reducing categories that do nothing to help with the presentation of information except shorten the list.

I was thinking of the following layout:
Category, #of reports

New Colonies 3
Stellar Events 1
Messages 3
Combat Reports 7
Intelligence Reports 2
Ships Constructed 17
Units Constructed 132
Facilities Constructed 16
Other 3

Then one could drill down, like say the Ships Constructed log and pull up:

Design Type, Number

Imperial Class: 7
Dreadnought Class: 2
Colony Ship: 1
Patrol Frigate: 7

and either have the option to expand the list or minimize it. Highlighting specific items would show where they are located on the system map, just as it's done in any other report window.

Do you think this would be an appropriate suggestion for Aaron to incorporate into SEV in say maybe 1.7 or 1.8? What do you think of the idea?
