AI coms shortcuts [Already in the Game, move along]

[SpaceTimeNow]

 

The AI got default listening access to all station channels right now and the idea of coms shortcuts (like or :c) have been floating around for quite some time.

 

I was wondering why this shortcuts weren't implemented for the AI yet. Is this is there a balance issue or a coding issue with this one?

 

The Station can get quite a high player count and switching channels is so tedious and a waste of time. I mean, you allways have to hit the AI core button to return the camera to your core, click the global coms to switch the mic off, click another coms terminal and switch the mic on and possibly change frequencies. Just to write on sentence and revert the coms terminals back again. Resulting in AI answers beeing delayed for no apparent reason.

 

Immagine forcing this on every player when they want to use their headset, everyone would flip their shit. For an AI that can hack into airlock controls and electrify them with a click of a button, switching coms should be a rather easy task, but it's not.

I'm pretty sure they do have shortcuts. Implemented recently mind you, but they have them.

 

I think.

hmm, haven't had the chance to play much AI recently, but i didn't see this beeing added on github. Maybe i just missed it. Can someone confirm that it's a thing now?

It's a thing. AI can use radio shorcuts.

I am happy and embarrassed at the same time, but all in all i count this as a win.
