chatting in VR
- Thread starter dape

For me, I move my wireless keyboard to my lap, and use the touch typing class I took 30 years ago. (Edit: not very helpful, I know)
My chief difficulty has always been noticing that someone has messaged me. I was always poor at this when playing on a monitor. Now that I have a whole cockpit with windows to look at, the tiny chat screen is even easier to ignore.

All the ships have a radio. Why are ppl so against actually speaking to each other?
Not everybody here is a native English speaker. Reading/typing a foreign language is usually much easier than listening/speaking, especially when people are speaking with accents and with distracting noise and gameplay around.
Besides, nothing breaks immersion more than a badass elite pirate with a voice of a 12 year old.
I have a speech impediment. I really hate it when strangers make assumptions about me IRL, I don't want that problem following into games as well. This growing trend towards voice comms is destroying what was once a refuge for me.

WSell, I have trouble typing.
Hello Commanders.
I made 15 macros in 'voice attack' (VA) for the most common things I say. This is easy to set up using the 'record' feature in VA.
This enables a single spoken word to input a whole sentence in the comms panel (i.e. 'hi' = hello there commander, 'oops' = please don't kill me! I'm throttling down now). Good for initiating contact of diffusing a tense situation. I can then lift my cv1 if I need to type anything more specific to the situation I'm in.
I did take part in the 'beta blowout' just before 2.2 went live and used 'teamspeak' for the first time. What a great experience that was. I agree that as every ship has voice comms capability I should be making more effort to use it, but with VA, music and/or radio also coming through my headset - this might be a bit tricky/confusing for listeners during voicecomms.

I always thought it would be amazing if FD developed speech-to-text utility for their chat. In this way you wouldn't need keyboard in VR, and people could still be discreet and disguise their voice for one reason or another.
Hahaha, Breaking News: as it turns out Blackbeard lives on his moms basement and has a bedtime by 1000pm. Who knewNot everybody here is a native English speaker.
