As a new player one thing I know would be helpful is identifying who I'm talking to. It would be nice if while looking at the Chat window players were identified by their system. I know different chat channels are different colors, and that could stay the same. But perhaps the name of the person could be the color of their system.

So as a member of UIT when I would talk my name would appear in Yellow in the chat window.

I am assunimg you mean that they would be color-coded according to their nationality. That's not a bad idea. It can't be by their location for obvious security reasons. I don't want my enemies who are monitoring a public channel to know where I am.

I think a better idea is to just revamp the chat system altogether. Nation chat should be the default channel and maybe communications should be limited by distance. This would make the game more realisitc, make the universe feel larger and more interesting, and help to deter trolling.

Whenever I ask a1k0n about nation-coloured chat he always says he keeps forgetting, or something along those lines. :P

Oh yeah. I keep forgetting to do that. Thanks for reminding me pre-release.

edit:

Sweet!

Wow. Good call.

That was exactly what I was talking about, love it! Thank you!

I think it is useful but ugly. Can we maybe just add a colored dot before the text and leave the actual text uncolored?
