A question about the Chat UI was asked by Uberian in the Q&A forum:  "I try to send a PM to most of the greentags I see, explaining how to reply PMs and how to send one to another player. Thing is most of the time I never get a answer back, so either they see my PM and still cant understand or they simply miss it because the chat can be quite spammy at times. I also think a revamp of the squad tab is needed to make it more easier for them to see where they can join up on a squadmates mission and so on. So my question for CRS is if there's any plan on to changing the current squad UI and chat layout?"

RAMP: There are no specific plans but we have talked about improving both of those things. Various ideas have come up from users who have seen what other games do well and we've also had our own ideas about how to improve it. Some of the ideas for chat are improved multi-windowing layout with filters, user determined color coded channels, new sound effects and icons, clickable text and other stuff. The squad tab could make use of an improved list so that user functions aren't hidden until you double click. I can't give any time frames because that's a Gophur call, but I think we all agree it can be improved.
