If I'm at a stellar scope and type: tac d
why does the server insist on giving me tac reports for all the planets 
in the system in addition to the tac for the destroyers?  I find this
a bit annoying, particularly since I'd like to do one big "tac d" at
universal scope and detect anything I can blow up WITHOUT getting an
<output flushed> message due to all the planetary tactical reports
filling up the (client's?) buffer.

By the way, is there a setting that allows that buffer to be larger?

Is <output flushed> a message that is generated by the client or the
server?
