only time i use a char name is when im adressing the system or people that dont know the ship

ie patterson: Captian,Patterson,James i run this rig liberty liberty special forces
<few lines later all use patterson but its not typed>
Mathers(i actually have a charcter on my ship named mathers hes the ships xo>:jimmy had to meet with the division commander so you can direct any queerys to myself and i as ship's XO wil ldo my best to do whatever is asked or directed to us

<few lines later all useing mathers>


<few more lines adressing unknown craft in zone 21-inwhich case COMMS: is used> (denoteing the comms officer sometimes i give a name)

<few lines later name Jones is used(ships weapoons/CIC officer>

so sometimes a /setmsg is slower else some people would have like 5-6 set messages for there cap alone thats 5 or 6 they have to re configure for there say pirate bomber or whatever

I'm also one of those people that uses ship names - not character names.

BHG|Core-Athena - Max DeVirgo, Guildmaster, is in charge, with 3 or 4 others that speak as needed.

BHG|Core-Cerbeus - Harold Mudd, Captain - William Jones, Engineer - Michael Fenton, Weapons...

BHG|Core-Pallas.Athene - Abigail Hearns, Captain

BHG|Core-Grampus - Douglas Bader, Commanding (seriously - I had someone call me Gramps - the Grampus is a type of Killer whale - and the ship is an Orca)

Other than my Freelancer character - who should go by his name - and my fighters, which are single seat - I'm always typing in the name of who is speaking. Having a command to automatically put the persons name up would be great.

Great command. Practical and good for RP purposes.

Just one issue: I know that some people use multiple characters in thier chat and having a default would result in confussion. For example. I use two names on my Mastadon, Kent, and Evans. Heres a snippet of example text using these names:

Kent: Mr Evans, open a com channel with Planet Manhatten and request docking permission
Evans: Roger that...captain...

But with a default it would look like this:

Kent: Mr Evans, open a com channel with Planet Manhatten and request docking permission
Kent: Evens: Roger that....captain...

See..its like, mucked up. Switching /deafult on and off all the time would be annoying unless...you had a quick command for default chat, like /dc <your random RP>
/dc meaning 'default chat'

sounds good....

maybe though we should set it up like setcashcode....so:

/setdefaultname 1-9

/default 1-9


that way you could RP your whole crew

The reports of my trying to imitate the revered Michal Golanski are greatly exaggerated...my avatar should prove this.

I had thought of this, but not like this!

Just name your server character as your captain and announce your ship name in RP situations.



Works just like announcing the name of your captain while using your ship name, only you only need to say the name of your ship once.



EXAMPLE:



Captain.Dave: Hail to all vessels in proximity, this is the LNS Lolwut.

I am studying I get distracted only when I play not when I think. And this is the only source of leisure for me.

P.S.- I am trying to Increase my post count to 2000 and then I will leave the forums too
