Chat Mission/Tac Channels

Hi All,

Looking to see if it would be possible or make sense to add Incident or Tac channels to the Chat. See the not so great pic attached.

While many alliances have separate off game sites to conduct role playing, etc. the Chat still ends up with a lot of the traffic keeping the Chat light green or the chat busy. It can distract from the more coordinated chat traffic.

Like the Alliance Radio can be toggled on/off on the Radio Messages screen, these channels could be toggled on/off for those that wish to see (or not see) the mission related traffic. This would allow those folks to continue role playing and folks not looking to participate in it can toggle those channels off.

While I can't speak for other alliances, ours tries to use the chat for alliance coordination and some general discussion. We will use it for Alliance Missions to ensure they are being covered, or when events are available. Typically, if the chat is closed and it goes green, there is information to be passed, a question, or similar.

However, for role-playing ("Engine-1 responding", "Car-8 is available", "Ambulance-1 On Scene", etc), they ask folks to use a separate site. Some have expressed a desire to do these types of things on site. The idea centers around offering that capability to those that want it, without cluttering the chat for those that don't.

You could without clicking the "Post to Alliance Chat" option. Some folks were doing it for their own calls shared or not. But that is an option for the shared calls.
