Communications

To view or send ship-to-ship text messages the Comms Panel first needs to be selected (use focus mode or press the Comms hotkey - 'C' by default). You can use standard interface controls to navigate the Comms Panel, cycling through four tabbed screens:

Comms Text Feed: view incoming text comms and send text comms

· Untargeted (local) comms will be broadcast to *all* nearby ships

· Use [TAB] to cycle through valid message recipients

· Use [/r] to respond to the last ship that you received comms from

· Use [/t] to send comms directly to targeted ship

· Use [/w] to send comms to all wingmen

Comms text is colour coded:

· Orange: local broadcast

· Cyan: wing broadcast

· Yellow: Direct transmission

· Red: authority broadcast

Comms Contacts: view and interact with contacts

· Highlight and select a contact to summon comms and wings options

Inbox: view and interact with friend or wing requests and invitations and messages

· Highlight accept/decline icons to accept or decline a wing invitation

Comms Options: view and alter text and voice settings

· Highlight and select options to toggle them

You can use standard interface controls to navigate the Comms Panel.
