Space is so empty right now around planets in bria. JTL is so good compared to other space games but it doesn't have as much content in space as solo games and it doesn't have as good of communications as other mmog's
Thequickest and easiestway to improvejtl is to tweak the chat system.
System chat is not nearly as useful as galaxy chat.
I dont think that just a jtl galaxy widechat while in space would make that much of a difference because there just aren't that many people in space at any one time. I'am guessing that there are only 20 ships in space per galaxy at any one time. Thats not much considering the number of sectors we have.
To get people up into space in large numbers there needs to be a reason for people to go up into space in large numbers.
AKA
GCWbattles
Super mobs that require large groups to take down.
To communicate these events there needs to be a chat channel revamp.
There need to be more preset chat channels. Adding guild chat really pumped new life into the game. Add more preset chat channels.
Imp galaxy wide channel gained by being a member of the faction.
Reb galaxy wide channel gained by being a member of the faction.
Profession galaxy wide channels gained upon learning the novice skill.
Player Citychannel availabe to connect members of a player city.
Looking for hunting group galaxy wide channel to help people find hunting groups.
Looking forcrafting group galaxy wide channel to help people findcrafting groups.
Looking forentertainer group galaxy wide channel to help people find hunting groups.
Additionaly a channel accross all galaxies or selected galaxies would be usefull for coordinating very large group activites.
aka were takin down x base in x galaxy in 20 minutes or
There will be a race on x Server at x time prize will be x credits.
The abilityto enable /t accross character galaxies.
So that if xfriend on x server /t my character on x server but I am on y server I still receive the message and can go meet my friend on x server.
Have the new preset channels populate the tabs automatically. Put the burden of removing them on the user. Don't expect the user to find them.
Easier anti spam control settings
x repeats x times per x timeperiod then ignore text for x timeperiod
x repeats x times per x timeperiod then ignoreuser for x timeperiod
Please add your ideas for modifing the current chat system for JTL.
