Communication

[ffofy]

I'm hoping we'll be able to send messages to other players/ships, and also send distress signals and stuff like that, if you get under attack by Borg bots or a player from the other faction it'd be handy to be able to do so.

There has to be the ability to communicate. How else are the Kirk-ites going to chat up all those alien princesses? :D

It would be neat instead of a chat bar you had to use the veiw screen on the brige and if your ship was heavy damage the pic on the screen would be hard to see ( snow effect)

I'm sure they will have that type of communication system at release

yeah some sort of basic text chat would be pretty much given as every MMO needs some sort of chat :)

Indeed, something I hope they input in the game. I know there is going to be several attacks on our ships that we aren't gonna have a chance in hell to live from, a distress call would save us. Hopefully that is inplanted in the game, hopefully.


Live long and prosper,

I can just see the ops panel in the local starbase lighting up when a major attack occurs, all the ships caught in the first wave suddenly popping the emergency beacon.

Star Trek Online should definitely have a communication system that is accessible at all times while on your ship. No more needing to run to a frickin mailbox like in other MMOs. Trek is too advanced for that!
