Implemented chat channels

[Poofer]

i believe someone already suggested this, but slaved to another set of blocks.
Chat channels are a common thing amongst the mmo games, it allows trade/faction/allied/war/general/recruiting/support to all be in their respective sections without cluttering up the screen and make it easier for a player to find what they're looking for in the chat window.
The chat window would have tabs that could be switched:
General (could be made to show chat from other channels)
System(server notices)
Support
Faction
Allied
War
Trade
Recruiting
Bounty?
others?

I don't know if my idea is possible in this game engine :
Chat bubble over characters head ,only visible to other player close , practical for rp reason when you want to have a private chat in a building , giving people a good reason to be physically present for dealing , instead of doing everything by radio like with call it on rp server.

There are a couple of forums on this topic. I suggest looking at this one: http://starmadedock.net/threads/subspace-communications.6241/#post-90986

Apparently the current Dev build may have bits of the new chat system. I haven't played the Dev build myself, but that's what I heard.

Yep... This is not just "planned," but in fact has already been implemented, though it's still a work in progress. You can even download the latest dev version and check it out yourself. :D

Is the Chat forever going to be upside-down?
