Thread is to discuss the addition of Communication mechanics and Industry (Factory/Shipbuilding) reworking.
Meaningful in game chat systems.
/Local /l (Speak in a 20 block radius)
Useful for speaking to nearby players/giving orders without using the main chat (Default)
/Shout /s (Speak in a 50 block radius)
For merchants selling products/asking for assistance/recruiting nearby players.
/Whisper /w (Speak in a 5 block radius)
̶S̶u̶p̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶r̶e̶t̶ ̶s̶p̶y̶ ̶m̶e̶e̶t̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ Like PMs/Private messages but for a small, nearby group.
/PM /p (Private messaging)-(#Added)
For sending orders to a single unit or ̶H̶u̶r̶t̶f̶u̶l̶ ̶g̶r̶e̶y̶t̶i̶d̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶t̶a̶l̶k̶i̶n̶g ̶ Important information not ment for global.
/Reply /r (Quickly reply to pm)
Already have this I believe.
/Mail /m (Maaaail tiiiiime~)-(#Added)
Sending notes/suggestions/orders/̶e̶x̶t̶r̶e̶m̶e̶l̶y̶ ̶l̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶u̶n̶r̶e̶a̶d̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶m̶e̶s̶s̶a̶g̶e̶s̶ to offline players, or online to be saved for later viewing.
/System /e (Speak to everyone in the same system)
For when you need to tell the guy to pull over for a speeding ticket. ̶S̶t̶e̶a̶l̶t̶h̶y̶ ̶b̶o̶a̶r̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶h̶o̶s̶t̶i̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶a̶k̶e̶o̶v̶e̶r̶s̶
/Global /g (Oh god it's so annoying)-(#Added)
We already have this, just please don't make it default!
/Faction /f (We have this too, really useful!)-(#Added)
"GORGE MELONS, YOU HAD *ONE* JOB!"
/Alliance /a (Faction chat, but for your allies as well)
Only those given special permissions from their faction may use this chat.
/Distress /q (Send a proximity/system wide message to nearby ships for help)
One per 30 minutes. Useful for when you're stranded in space after a large battle, or are being attacked by pirates.
Ideas
Custom Shortcuts/Commands made by users and stored in the prefs.ini
Items
*Hand Radio (Automatically use when you whisper, shout, or local chat while holding)
Messages to anyone in the same system using the same channel.
*ShipBoard Radio (Same as the hand radio, but a block that can be placed and activated)
Messages to anyone in the same ship using the same channel, can also use the same channels as the radio.
Bugs-(#Still Needs Fixed)
The player looks up and down faster than it turns, creating an unnatural feeling that forces players
to turn up their sensitivity, which at any time you go to turn, causes the head to bob up and down wildly.
(Fix the head/body looking/turning, it's so obnoxious that my friends and I cant play.)
