Is there any update on the local messages. When you try to type one it shows in system chat in a wierd way.
To make myself abit more clear this is what happends: (player name will be ''tester'')
Player types: /l comm test
Display shows: Tes: r: comm test
Now the Tes: is in red with is the name (so it changes the name aswell) and then you see the message (in grey) ''r: comm test'' and that r is the last letter of your own name. So if your name ends with a D it will show d: exept for r:
So whats going on with that local chat, it was great to use because now I have to spam along in system chat because local was my ''quick'' private chat (to tax folks)

I spoke to an admin today.
Local chat has been turned off.

I unfortunately am unfamiliar with comm workings, but I remember someone posting all the commands somewhere. I can't find that somewhere, but maybe someone else knows that; think it might be useful to have around, maybe even pinned somewhere.

Can some one explain to me what local chat is and what its purpase is. and what u can do hear. Cause im really confused:(

previously, if you typed:
/l (insert text)
it would send a private message to all within scanner range
I think they should bring it back... make the text another colour... but thats probably hard coded into the game (damn you microsloth!)

Local chat can be confusing, but in relatively unpopulated systems like out in the omicrons it can be very usefull.
I want it back.
