- Proposal
- The comm chatter spam for the Orbital Strike ability should have the ability to be toggled off. If not a toggle, the comm chatter should be moved to its own system message channel so it can be turned off in the chat box without impacting the ability to see other chats.
- Justification
- While the comm chatter is interesting from a roleplay perspective, it is a primary ability for Hellfire-set running Squad Leaders. With a relatively short cooldown, and the possibility of repeated uses with Fast Attack, it has a tendency to fill up the chatbox rapidly, on top of just being annoying. Overall, this is a big QoL for Hellfire-set Squad Leaders, with very minimal impact on gameplay systems.
As it stands, it spams the "Chat" channel, a primary method of communication in the game.
- Motivation
- While the onscreen chathead message can be toggled off entirely, there is no way to get rid of the chat message spam associated with the ability. This ability is rather unique with regard to the spam, and while it is a neat experience the first few times, it is otherwise an annoying burden to the player. A change to this ability would be an extreme improvement to quality of life for squad leaders.
The comm chatter tied to the Orbital Strike ability is annoying and burdensome for SL players, rendering the "Chat" channel virtually unusable.
