What it says on the tin: Be able to set up chat tabs with only text from :E :M :A :V et al for increased readability. While I understand there’s an argument to be made about it adding to the immersion via lots of people talking at once & being hectic. . . I mean ultimately it just creates a problem marines deal with which is never an issue for xenos- sure you can argue that’s because they’re a hive mind.
The reason some Jobs have access to virtually all channels is arguably due to the medium we play in- Req has access to nearly all channels- however it’s not because they need or should be monitoring all channels but rather because players don’t all have access to supply. That’s not a complaint just the nature of how the system works.
I’d really like this for playing roles with a ton of chat logs – and maybe even for separating channels with confusingly similar colours, like Charlie and JTAC.
Yeah this would be useful. I tend to lose things pretty easily in the chat so I have a separate tab for just OOC and one for Local dialogue. Being able to separate the Squad channels from the tactical ones and then the support ones would be useful as like command or the MP’s where you’re focusing 1-3 channels but still need to pay attention to all of them.
