    Summary: Drone contact message overrides weapon damaged message


    Description: When drone-drilling, if you are at the edge of the drone's range where you get the "losing contact to your drone" message, and your drill breaks, you do not get the broken weapon message until after the drone returns to "normal range". You can hear the weapon clicking, but the "losing drone contact" message stays up. The "damaged weapon" message can show up much later, long after you have equipped another weapon that isn't damaged. The delay is confusing.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    • Start drone-drilling with badly worn tool.
    • Move drone to edge of range, so you get the flashing screen and "losing contact to drone" message.
    • Drill at edge of range until tool breaks.
    • The tool will "click", but you will still only see the "losing contact" message, no "broken weapon" message.
    • Equip a different weapon/tool.
    • Fly drone back so no longer close to out of range.
    • The "broken weapon" message will pop up when the drone returns to range, regardless of what you now have equipped, or how long ago you clicked the broken tool. You are no longer equipping the broken weapon, so this is confusing.

    Dunno if this is a bug. Ill ask.

    There 3 message boxes. Blue, Yellow and Red.
    There prio is in the same order where Red is the most important one.

    The weapon break messages are send to the blue box. The drone is Yellow.
    So yellow messages Always come first before blue

    EDIT : We will see if it possible can be changed :)
