The game needs local voice channels.
In addition to being required to send/accept voice invites to anyone & everyone, we should also be able to join a local voice channel. This would give those push-to-talk beeps an actual use other than just sounding cool. control options should be simple. two separate buttons would work, but I think just a single/double-tap and hold system would work fine to separate your own local/public transmissions.
Basically, keep everything the way it is, but give us the option to join a local voice channel so we can communicate like "normal" human beings. Because the text interface is all but useless for anything but reading. I'm in the crowd of people who actually value this text interface, but with my hands on a HOTAS & my face in an HMD, using a keyboard just isn't practical & the lack of a decent solution for quickly/easily communicating directly with other commanders really just hurts the game. A lot.
