Can we have a chat dedicated to islands?
Like Tellesis chat and so one?
I would like to know if there is people in my local area that i can play with and help around and socialize with. It is MMO after all, right?
General chats are usually full of random topics and the too many shy people.
No damn local chat! If they EVER do have one.... delay function only. chat channel should never be able to be used like they are in stEVE.
imo devs here have the right idea.
edit: after reading a few other posts on subjects not related to this, full local chat on the alpha 1 islands might be a better idea.
Goldfarmer spam, post-fight smack, general trolling, scam adverts? Pass.
You wanna talk to locals? Go find 'em and request a convo. Alternatively, start your own series of island channels. Post 'em on the forum.
Island wide chat? No thanks.

yup pretty much, a island chat system would just show who is on what island or when they arrive, it would kill the point of having sensor/em strength since you could see a corp port to your island. if the player count suddenly went from 20 to 40 in a matter of seconds you can kinda figure out what is about to happen.
Maybe not island chat, but a sector chat/detector system gives some chance to miners in beta, with 1000m from teleports undetected. I didn't work out so bad for eve, that doesn't mean we cannot implement it in a different way before we outright reject the idea.
how many topics did we already have about this?
no to eve-like-sector chat,
yest to anything that enables short range communication between group of players that can see each other, withtout having to open a new channel or squad
My idea of a "local" would be to have a permanent channel where you would only see what other players are broadcasting within a -say- 1km radius. Or if we turn it around, if you write something, everyone within 1km would get it on that channel. No permanent channel members or anything, just a simple vicinity-chat. (No idea about the implementation or the network difficulties, just an idea.)
An island chat that never showed numbers, and never showed a member list might work. All you'd ever know from someone posting is that they were there at a particular time, but never who they were with, when they arrived, or whether/when they left.
With "vicinity" chat, you could maybe set your own broadcast range (like a volume knob). Your message goes to everyone in that range. Reasonable limits on range, ofc. And keep it outdoors-only to limit godawful terminal game smack.
nobody is keeping you from creating a telesis channel and promoting it ... however island wide autojoin chanels are not a good idea. they are simply not needed.
