<S> only shows up on saluted player's screen

Damn, I like you more and more every day, Lusche. 

(not that I want to pick out curtains or anything)

He shouldn't need to do that just because people are abusing the .s command to harass another player. 

ack-ack

Well, perhps the salut should just be between the two players involved, and not subject all the other players to the salute.  Does everyone really have to know who saluted who?  Isn't it enough that the two players involved know who saluted who?

That's a good idea.  Why didn't I think of that?

I think the whole point of the .s command is so that it's a public acknowledgment.

If you were to make it so that .s were not public, you might as well just remove the .s command as a whole.  You can just as easily .p a <S> to someone.

Seems odd to me that it bothers you enough to request a change, though.  Out of curiosity, what does it matter?  I find myself hardly ever paying attention to the chat buffer when I'm flying anyway.

But I guess if enough people think a fix is needed, the best fix in my mind would be to allow the user to either view all salutes, or just salutes directed to themselves.  A check box in the options menu would suffice.

I personally think the public salute thing is neat.

No need for it to be when you can acknowledge the fight on a public channel (200).

Fine.  No more <SALUTE> VDALLAS filling the screen.

The matter (<DeNiro voice>: Greg R.N.) is the text bar is filled with b.s. salutes.  Why does my request that those be removed bother you?   Especially considering you don't see them any way, due to your ignoring the text bar.

But I guess if enough people think a fix is needed, the best fix in my mind would be to allow the user to either view all salutes, or just salutes directed to themselves.  A check box in the options menu would suffice.
A better fix is just to show the <S> on the intended player's monitor.  You can still brag about it on 200 if you want the whole world to experience it.

But you don't pay attention to the text bar, remember?

Why shoot down a solution that works for both parties?

[caldera]

Probably would be simpler to coad things.  Your idea would work fine, though.

[FBCrabby]

Aww what the heck - I wasn't in those screenshots this time D:

[EskimoJoe]

Why shoot down a solution that works for both parties?

Why negotiate with a bunch of d'bags that ruin it for everyone else?

A related wish:  A dot command to spam Delirium via PMs with a message of my choosing.  The command would be available to all players, but I would be the sole decider of its content.

<---- Amused.


Carry on

The first time was funny. Any more than once though and it gets old.

<S> XYZ in 200 is a sign of respect. . .nothing wrong with it.

and its 200 man. . .comon!
