We have Fleet, Faction, Target, and Yell chat. with all that chat and especially with all faction chat being yellow, and the "Leaders" in MV not always being from the same fleet. would it be possible to have a /command chat. Visible only to players on your faction of say... Admiral or higher rank.
A chat of a different color (light bule maybe) would give the "Leaders" an easy way to communicate without the need for targeting one another OR having to filter thru all the (at times mindless) Faction chat.
[=CSA=]Feralwulf: Ok I'll take a bomber, supply and 2 combats with me to bomb Titan, you take the rest of the fleet to Ganymede to distract them.
08:42:12 mousey: "can i suggest something darkrobb?"
08:43:06 darkrobb: "ok i get the point now"
08:43:21 mousey: "the scooter u gonna buy, sell one of the tyre n subscribe, haha"
08:43:36 darkrobb: "lol"
09:00:47 [-=WKA=-]Challenger: Ok, wait for our distraction before you start the bomb run
09:24:19 llcoolj888: "how do i gain pristige"

Yea this could work, then the "leaders" would pass on the agreed plans to their fleets with /fleet. However instead of /command most people might prefer something like /cc (command chat) or /tac (tactical chat); it would be a pain typing something as long as command in game.

well sure .../t= /target, /y= /yell so of course /c would = /command, then also would have a tab same as Fleet, faction, target, and yell.

so how is it chosen who the "leader" is
and why is he chosen over somebody else.
and would anybody be forced to listen to him
and would he be able to spam
etc.
it's a good idea, but it needs more work.

i think with "leaders" he means the fleet commanders, and for the rest, i think that most admiral+ people (or atleast the ones that didnt bomb it to there) get along pretty good when organizing a fight

... No, they get a second chat channel to use for tactical/commanding use so other fleet leaders and admirals+ can easily read through it because of its different colour, and not have to filter through regular chat which its mixed with tacticals, life stories, complaining, suggestions, ect.. they still get the default chat, something tells me you don't like to read every fine detail...
its the difference between (facton = yellow, tactical = light blue (or what ever colour) ):
[faction] Joe: Lets move 5k out from Boonie
[faction] Bob: brb for a drink
[faction] Carl: lag!?
[faction] Mark: how do I play?
[faction] Joe: hello?
or
[tactical] Joe: Lets move 5k out from Boonie
[faction] Bob: brb for a drink
[faction] Carl: lag!?
[faction] Mark: how do I play?
[tactical] Steve: rgr Joe, see if you can get your fleet to... (ect)
[tactical] Joe: roger

So basically, it's just something for old vets to not communicate with the younger players.
...
I've never had any problem sorting the important battle information from the chaff.
but if it's really that bad, then I have no comment on this idea.

Actualy, it'd be for the more experienced players (Which have a good say in their own fleets) to be able to pass information when the clutter of normal ingame chat starts to get pretty bad.
And not everyone has the ability ( or just doesnt) to look through the chat for anyone outside their own group's chat..
