Implement Kill Reporter into VO

Dec 15, 2018 Heini link
It's a plugin that tells who killed what and with what weapon in radar range.
For example when I kill a player named "Xerxes" it will display it in the chat:

Heinii destroyed Xerxes with Neutron Blaster MkII in Sedina B-8

It also works for bots.
Some new weapons, like the CUP, will be displayed as Weapon not recorded: XXX because it needs to be updated.

Yep, I made this, it's a simple hook which changes the default kill text, and also tells you of any combat deaths in the sector. The devs are free to use it as they wish, and I'll probably push an update next week if someone can tell me what the new weapon ID is. Either way I can fix it soon.

It could be opt-out for those who don't like it.

Or opt-in; unless its just an obvious thing to have, I dont see why it should be opt-out. Actually, as much as I like this plugin, im not sure it needs to be implemented into the base game. Its a point of interest more than a neccesary advantageous plugin.

I think a good kill reporting system is an obvious necessity to have an a game where you can't really see what's going on sometimes when a big battle is happening.

maybe a page on this site(V-O.com/x/systems/)
and it displays all the systems that are accessible to players, you click on the desired system and find info on it and its past. Similar to zKillboard but without the complexities such as credits lost, Addons lost. Just the ship and variant and who killed who, and the time.
