But we are limiting it.  The structure that holds the message only
accepts 80 characters, and the server truncates the message as it goes
into the structure.  The INL robot is just pulling out what is there.

Impractical to fix, I'm afraid.

Would a message in the style of ARMYTRACK be useful for newly built
ships, so that you can track what ship type they are at the time of the
kill?
