mentioned elsewhere but it does seem to me that the radio list in the tower did enable folk to see who else was there without having to do stuff.
I realise that the radio panel was some times "in the way" when various "windows or the clipboard" was/were being moved around.
Now to see it we also have a radio bar in the way and its not "in yer face"
I do believe that its removal without replacing it with something else is a back ward step.
Being able to quickly see (and chat to) other folk in the same room is "community building stuff" and removing it makes us all a little more "strangers" than we were before...............
I am sure there are many alternative methods of listing fellow players sharing the tower (or other rooms)............I note a space for "Pilots" on the chalk board.......... the same chalk board that has other modified text renedered upon it
IMO the more communication is facilitated by "in yer face" aids/lists the more folk get bonded into the game and its game play
