Warning Messages
There are 3 settings for the warning messages.
The Voice will send a destress call to you from your ships computer with the sector.
The Message will display a message across the bottom of the screen showing the sector and satellite.
The other one is for both the voice message and a saved entry in your log book.
If you have the voice message enabled, you will get the voice "Assistant Required At {SECTOR}" if they have detected claimable ships.
