Tab lock down (Patch 3.5)

Wundsalz:
I like the "click to gain mouse focus"-method best as well.
A separate mute menu sounds reasonable to me too.

What if we switched it from the TAB menu to the ESCAPE menu? That allows us to keep our current tab functionality, but also puts an easily accessible "Mute Players" Button on a menu players are already aware of and already use for in-game functions (like disconnecting, going AFK, and so forth). Just have it open up a Tab screen look-a-like, only this time with full mute functionality.

Thoughts? I'd find this rather intuitive.

That is what I suggested on the previous page (and in the previous thread).

Watchmaker:
Serious question, because understanding the use case is important: why do you guys feel the need to bring the scoreboard up so often in the middle of gameplay?  Just what are you checking?

GeoRmr:
If people join mid game which ship they are on and what class they are. To find out the type of ship that is spotted behind a cloud when all I can see is it's player chosen name. To check surrendered status, and if allied/enemy captains or crew have dc'd incase I'd missed it in the chat feed.

On my last point I'd like to make an unrelated request to have the option to make the chat window persistent, and the option to set a solid or translucent background. (it's hard to read white text when the background is a white cloud).

Edit: It'd be really great to see a message in game when captains surrender.
