Some suggestions

Aye even if we were only able to copy and paste text located in the guild message section, that would be 100 times more helpful and useful than what we have now. Icarus is a great game and I love it, but I am a bit frustrated with how restrictive it is socially. No offline messages, and inability to copy and paste makes things a bit harder. One of things most detrimental I think is that we can't find players steam names in game, we have to ask them. I don't really see the other side of the argument here where people claim "I don't want people to find my steam account, I want privacy etc." I mean aside from the fact that privacy doesn't exist nor should ever be expected on the internet lets just consider some logic here. Chances are if you are on steam, 1. your profile is in the search database meaning random people can search random names and send you friend requests. 2. You OWN a game where you can ALREADY add people to steam from directly within the game so long as they are on the same server and game as you. Some games I can think of off the top of my head are chivalry, NMRIH, Warframe, TF2, DOTA and counter strike. For a 3rd reason this is a bad argument because Guns of Icarus is associated very closely with steam already, it makes sense to link them, and ultimately when someone you don't like sends you a friend request on steam you can just ignore it and they can never send you a request again, they can't even message you. If I could more readily find people in my guild on steam, I could send them a friend request and let them know I'm their guild leader in Icarus. So THAT player not online for 20 days, just might DECIDE on his own to start playing Guns of Icarus again because of networking alone; he sees 20 of his guild mates on steam playing the game and decides to join us. Many people on guns have steam, and as such inevitably will be distracted for months by other games, so guilds in guns of icarus in a way need to be in part Steam guilds also, a bunch of friends who get together to enjoy many different games. I'd hope that Icarus could be a game people revisit more often, but the current restrictions sort of make that harder to accomplish. A massive multiplayer game needs more social freedoms, so please consider my points, and thank you. ;)
ALSO I find it odd that a Pilot can replace crew on helm but a gunner cant replace an engineer on guns. Might this be a good thing to change? Thoughts?
P.S not sure if i come across as demanding or angry but I'm not, I'm very open to keeping things anyway that MUSE decides of course! I do feel strongly about this and I said my piece so I will respect anyone else's opinions on the matter also.

Captain, not pilot, replaces crew on helm. Gunner used to replace engi on guns.

Firstly, devs rarely read the forum and respond even more rarily. If you want to contact them directly feel free to write at feedback@musegames.com, they are always happy to get some feedback.
Copying and pasting clan messages - I agree and I made the thread about it myself
GOIO & Steam integration - I fully disagree with you. Personally I really like that I can have GOIO-only friends in GOIO, I don't need to see that some guy that I played like 10 times in GOIO is playing Dota at the moment. If you want to add people on steam, you gotta ask them.
Pyrate Roberts:
Well I just recently managed to get 10 of 50 of my guilds steam names because those people logged in and I asked them. And my guild went from being one online sporadically to all 10 of us playing for four hours. Need I say more? :P Imagine if all 50 of us were on each others steam. :-[ It will take ages now before those guys 30 days gone might even login again. Sigh.
Another funny story, I asked someone if I can add them to steam, and he was like sure go ahead! and then he logged off. I don't think he realized that I can't actually get his steam name unless he tells me lol.
Hoja Lateralus:
I see your point, that GOIO is very social game and it's good to stay in touch with other people, but on the other hand the sheer idea of having 50 friends on steam seems riddiculous for me. I'm more kind of introvert guy and perhaps I'm not so used to Steam (I've been having it for like a 1,5 year so far) and I believe there are many people of similar character playing GOIO.
Well, I certainly can imagine option like "Show my steam name" or sth like that, which you can turn on/off (defautly disabled, because privacy).
