Can more chat options be added while in battle?

It seems bit less likely to communicate with people while attacking or defending... Few more options like "Go, Go, Go" or "Fixer Heal Me"(with plus+ icon) or "Very Good/Bad". This is a small discussion but I really hope that this small discussion would help the game and its development process.

 

The problem is, where do you put these new buttons?

A solution that has been discusted is have a list of buttons, and you can choose which ones you want.

i.e.

1. Attack,
   
2. Together,
   
3. Help,
   
4. Capture,
   
5. Yes,
   
6. Negative,
7. Destroy (ship class),
   
8. Help (teammate),
   
9. Negative (where you could target a teammate and say [teammate] Negative!),
   
10. Incoming,
    
11. Retreat, etc, etc.

Then you could chose 6 in settings.

 

So, when will it be added?

 

That's a really great idea. Especially the Medic one!

 

I am also looking for this options.

But i would like to suggest...that..the options located at the right side bottom should be removed...its annoying us. Some times while playing our hands missing to click right option and failing to close which leads us unable to use weapons.

My opinion is to remove the popup model.
And make it into Horizontal model like weapons...and give us option like adjustment in size and place where we like.
Same as weapons..but here it looks in horizotal model.
So that we keep them where ever we like.
And there should be Transparent option for all the keypad. So we can choose some 60% transparent. Which will help in locating ships and weapons....like torpedos...
It makes game more ...and more exciting....

Hope my option will be implemented.

 

No idea if it even will. Maybe later when the devs are done patching up guilds, and doing more important stuff, but for now, this is on the back burner.

 

Guess we'll have to wait till then

 

Maybe right, left and center. As sometimes the capture beacon is in center but you want the team to fleet up on the right side. Like a fork in the road.

 

I often want to articulate things like “don’t capture” and “hold on, we’re not together”.

You can try combinations like “negative - capture” and “negative - together”, but they are quite easy to misinterpret.

They could be interpreted as “stop what you’re doing and capture!” or “negative, I don’t want to stick together”. Which is the complete opposite of what you’re trying to say.

Having real combination commands is certainly a good idea. That would substantially increase the amount of orders you can articulate, whiteout the need to expand the interface.
