Hailing a player and station descriptions

Nov 05, 2004 Denco link
Since I am a noob, and you asked me when I logged on to give suggestions, here you go. I haven't read all the others so it could be repetitive.
1) I would like an easier way to hail ships, i.e. when I see one in my sector, to be able to do something similair to EV, press command+Y to hail it, rather than have to "message" it.
2)I would like to see descriptions on the stations, and weapons and missions that are particular to those stations.
Thanks for asking.

I'm sure someone could easily figure out a bind for that. In fact, the "hail" command is just an alias.

Maybe I'll take a whach at it.

--Edit--
Here is the "hail" alias (you likely already have this):

alias hail "activatechattab 0; msg %target% Hail"

Now the simple bind:

bind "h" hail

Target a ship, hit h and it sends a private msg Hail, to which bots respond with either binary, or NPC with what they are doing. Or players with "Dude.".

--Edit 2--
Oh, and the "alias" and "bind" commands go in your "wgaf.cfg" file.
