Changelog:

*** Vendetta 1.8.8
- Pressing 'm' from the HUD always goes to the mission log,
then pressing it again goes to the mission list if you
don't have a mission, and then pressing 'm' a third time
puts you back in the HUD.
- Fixed horizontal scroll in mission log.
- Missions are sorted alphabetically by name and then
description. (thanks Moda)
- Option for chat entry field to show colored text depending on
what chat destination it's going to. (thanks Slime)
- Preset purchase buttons show name of the ship that is
setup for that preset. (thanks Drazed)
- Player's home station is displayed in character info area
in station menu. (slime)
- System chat is available to non-plugin users now. (slime)

Go [LUA]!

It should be noted that users who want to bind system chat to a key for use in an in-flight chatline will still need to use a plugin in order to make the /say_system command available.

EDIT: reworded. happy now moda? :p

Uhm you can still use it outside a station. go into any menu, u,j,k,m,etc.. then click on 'system' radio button at the top.

To enable Colorized text:
Options > Interface > Colorize text in the chat input box.

Hey! I suggested that the ship names show on the preset buttons a long, long time ago. I'll try to dig up the thread later.

Some of these changes have been suggested multiple times and thought of independently by several different people. :P

Aye , good stuff.

Strat: The thanks in the changelog is for implementing the feature; not for suggesting it.

Well no one asked me! I could have whipped something up real quick! Heh.
