I am afraid i must agree with those who disagree with this change. I am not gifted with superfast fingers that can type/fly/flee and scream all at the same time :-) but this server is gifted with a class of pilot who does not give peeps time to rp out situations. At least with the set message commands you could make a start on the rp without seeing your arse blasted over your head first :-)
Well, from now on it will be harder to make an emergency call in the Omicrons, pairing this with the freely engaging nomad IDs. I'm not happy, but can accept it.

don't forget the nomads will have a hard to for people to stop instead of seeing them instantly run away. As when someone sees a nomad on the scanners they run instantly. I dislike the setmsgs.. but it was sometimes a good option to start an rp

If you're really thinking of leaving because you can't be lazy then quite frankly that's just really petty. I mean, the point of role-play is to engage your character with others and being lazy about it just ruins the fun, saying the same thing to people over and over. Personally I think it's a reasonable change, I may not have used it myself but there's no big deal in its removal.
If you don't want to get killed by nomads, be cautious or don't go through those systems, you're aware of the possibility that they'll be there after all. In my opinion, it encourages smarter thinking...surely that can only be good.
Yes I definately approve of this, was so sick of the abuse that the command was used for. As for this:

Quite possibly, I have been killed many times while typing...always due to a setmessage engager, or sometimes silent killers, the 2nd group is much easier to deal with though.

Yep, I at least used the commands when you hail another ship and ask it to stop at the start. Now you really just have time like, "Bowex, stop!" instead of a fine nice message due to the #t and a good sentence. After this, you can roleplay just the normal way by typing.
But if this stops those L1/L2 lolwuts, why not...although it will make things still not really better.
