Mic "Radio" effects.

(1/4) > >>

Verbose Mode:
It is a minor nitpick, but sometimes it is difficult for captains such as myself to tell the difference between their own crew's normal communication and banter, and communications from allied captains. I would like to request one or both of the following to be implemented:

1). Other captains names appear in a different color when they use the Captain Chat key. That way a quick glance can discern that they do not belong to your crew. Inspired by Insurgency.

2). A slight audio filter applies a "radio static" effect over Captain Chat communications. This way captains can hear that the transmission does not come from within their crew. Inspired by the ACER mod for ArmA games.

I don't find it too hard the other captains have the little steering wheel next to their names when they talk to you.

Verbose Mode:
Not all captains are pilots (I have actually played as an Engineer Captain), and I'm not always going to be looking toward that corner long enough to begin with (such as when determining what systems are on fire). A different color would be easy enough to pick out of the corner of your eye, however.

Generally a horrible idea.

The key word there is GENERALLY though. Do you know what use a pilot is on a CP map in a Galleon? None. There is literally 0 point to bringing a pilot in that situation. I find I can help my crew FAR better as an engineer dedicated to the back gun, balloon, and occasional backup on the hull. After all, I can practically park the ship on some of the maps and never even need to tweak it aside from lining up shots for killing. The hwacha's are more than good enough at keeping the enemy's guns down the majority of the time. Now, does this work all the time? Of course not! But there are still proven situations where it IS more beneficial.
