NeonKnight · Jul 12, 2014

Is there currently any ingame comms as of yet? Saw stuff mentioned in 2013 and started to play today and had a single sidewinder attack me saying he was gonna kill me byt I dont know if it was another player or an NPC.

Not yet, they are coming. That was just a NPC.

NPCs currently are not prefixed with 'Cmdr' and appear on the scanner as solid blocks (or triangles if weapons are deployed).

Player characters are hollow boxes/triangles.

Comms will be in the next beta at the end of the month.

What form will these comms take?
Will it be a chatbar, voice chat or preset menu?

All three, according to the latest newsletter.

There will be restrictions. Probably no global chat as such.

Not yet but will be in Standard Beta.

Voice comms across the current system and text comms across the Galaxy.
