Not sure how to make changes

I want to make some changes to the game, but I'm not sure how hard / easy it will be. Anyone who can advise would be appreciated.

1) I only get verbal warnings from my crew (eg sonar contacts, radio contacts) at 1x TC. Anything above that, and I get a message on the log only, and a drop to 8x TC. There is no change to the background sound. Is there a way to have the game verbally tell me that the sonar guy has picked up a contact etc, and have the game drop back to 1x TC as standard?

2) Is there a way to stop received messages from dropping my TC back to 1x? I'd prefer if it didn't.

I like to run the game at around 128x TC, which maximises contacts from my crew, but it's still time consuming to travel about. While travelling, I like to read, but I'm either constantly distracted by received messages, and then speeding up TC again, or because I'm not paying attention to the screen it's sometimes a while before I realise that my crew has picked something up and a choice target has sailed merrily by with only a note on my log to show for it.

The way I figure, if I'm a captain reading in my cabin, someone would most definitely tell me of a contact report etc, but possibly wouldn't bother me with routine messages. SHIII has this backwards, bothering me with messages at 1x TC while contacts pass at 8x TC.

Can anyone help?
