Right now, the game has a mute button. So when you use voice comms, everyone can hear you UNLESS you press that mute button. This is good when you engage conversations with friends and wingmen, however it can be a bother if you extensively use voice recognition software like Voice Attack. Nobody wants to hear you say "launch countermeasures", "power shields", "select highest threat", etc. all the time when you fight together for example. So right now, every time you want to issue a voice command (which is very often for some people, me included), you must remember to press the mute button.
One very easy and convenient solution would be an option to invert the mute function for those who want to. Basically, with this option checked, once the voice comms would be active with another player, they would only hear you IF you pressed the push-to-talk button. Basically like a walkie-talkie. Personnaly, as a VA user, I'd really like such a function to be implemented ; it feels a lot more natural to me to press a button to talk to wingmen, rather than to press one before I issue voice commands (which would arguably defeat the whole point of having voice commands in the first place).
Also, shy people would probably prefer the safety of not having everyone hear them all the time, unless they want to say something to their fellow commanders. And maybe (not sure about that one) this could save a little bantwidth?
Pretty please FD ?
