Agreed. I think the new report is too short.

The gag version also limits the number of lines displayed. I think the limit
is about 40 for each battle. If the battle is more than 40 lines, it tells how
many lines it skipped, shows the last 10 lines and then prints hit/miss/survival
statistics for every ship that fired in the battle. Example:

<racename> <shiptype> (<x> of <y> survived):

R          S            S   H
<racename> <shiptype> <x> <y>
<racename> <shiptype> <x> <y>
<racename> <shiptype> <x> <y>
<racename> <shiptype> <x> <y>
<racename> <shiptype> <x> <y>

This shows how often every group got to fire on every other group
and how many shots resulted in kills.
