I don't think this has ever been brought up before.
But what do you guys think about "Vehicle Chat" which is just like Squad chat but it allows you to talk to everyone in the vehicle that you're in?

That would be good, but /local is good enough for me. I mean, usually you'll be in something with 2-3 people in it. On some occasions you'll be in Galaxies or Sunderers or things of that sort, where it would be useful, but I still say /local is good enough for it.

only if the chat comes with sharing xp for kills made in the same vehicle. But thats never gonna happen so mah.

Yah, this would be extremely useful. The bad thing about /l in a vehicle is that there are oftne multiple vehicles around, so it's difficult to pick up the transmissions meant for you :( .

good idea. i would like to see that put in, but i also think it should come with a thing where evryone gets exactly half xp for vehicle kills, no more. no less. that way it doesnt matter if you are in a squad or not and it would be just plain better.... :)

:D This idears awesome...Now all they need is for people to be able to bail out while the vehicle is still driving...It's so annoying when you're running from that Magrider in your deliverer, and some jackass bails and kills you all. :mad:

Yes, they were putting in an idea that automatically made people like a "mini-squad" regardless of whether or not they were actually squadded. I think the hold up is ironing out the details of what to do when part of the crew is in the same squad and part isn't...that could be interesting from a coding aspect.

Was mentioned back around the time that Capitols were first brought up....and I *thought* Smoke said the next big focus is post-BR20, so who knows where on the schedule it actually is.

They shouldn't make a mini squad, just a channel.
