Real Time Log Expansion (PIN concept)

[MintDragon]

As we are getting closer to Early Access and tightening the screws, I'm often getting bombarded by incidents causing (or potentially causing) the real-time log to scroll past where I can see, that it's a bit of stress/anxiety (?) fearing that I will no longer be able to see 'what happened' in the log.

(late night poor) ex. new sector travel or battle, then landing on a planet, realize that something happened to cause me to tap to heal and spice, then checking the log to see if anyone quit the crew due to AWOL, because I know that something happened that caused the 'ding' alert to go off a dozen times... and having that already scrolled past due to a bunch of crew getting different traits. 

Could we possibly use about a 'PIN' button that expanded the real time log all the way up the right side of the screen to be able to see more of what is happening/happened?

In honesty, I'm sure (post launch) that there will be a demand to put more info in the log (or at least an option) and this might be a way to solve it.  I'm scratching my head sometimes with landing on a planet and having a huge medical bill (probably caused by meteors or radiation) that I wasn't aware of and unsure of what caused it; if it's added to the log as it exists, it would only exasperate the current above situation.

The event log is considered a piece of Alpha UI and is scheduled for rebuild, including a "pin" or "open full" option to see lots and lots of items.

Or, as an additional option: use the mouse wheel to scroll up and down when your cursor is over the log. This method is used in other games and I've always found it most practical.
