There are many ways to alter how you communicate in game. Most of the time your character will be speaking out loud. This allows anyone within earshot to hear you.
However, you will often want to use common or department comms, shout through a megaphone, use a wall-mounted intercom, or speak a different language.
This page shows examples of how to do all of these things.
These examples assume that you are in hotkey mode. If the chat bar at the bottom of your screen is red, you are not in hotkey mode. To toggle hotkey mode, press TAB.
When in hotkey mode, pressing T opens your speech input.
To speak out loud, simply enter your message.
| You type | You get |
Oh boy! My first day!
|
Gary Cassidy shouts, "Oh boy! My first day!" |
To whisper, prefix your message with :w. Whispers can only be heard clearly when standing directly next to the speaker.
| You type | You get |
:w I'm a super secret Syndicate traitor.
|
Gary Cassidy whispers quietly, "I'm a super secret Syndicate traitor." |
To speak over common comms, prefix your message with ;.
| You type | You get |
; Glory to Nanotrasen!
|
[Common] [Librarian] Gary Cassidy exclaims, "Glory to Nanotrasen!" |
To speak to a department, prefix your message with the department prefix.
| You type | You get |
:z Hello to the rest of the service department.
|
[Service] [Librarian] Gary Cassidy says, "Hello to the rest of the service department." |
The most common department prefixes are:
| Security | :s
|
| Command | :c
|
| Engineering | :e
|
| Supply | :u
|
| Medical | :m
|
| Science | :n
|
| Service | :z
|
| Procedure | :x
|
To speak in a different language, prefix your message with the language prefix.
| You type | You get |
:0 Glory to Nanotrasen!
|
If the listener knows the language:
Gary Cassidy wubs, "Glory to Nanotrasen!" If the listener does not know the language: Gary Cassidy wubs, "Narf honknorf zub honk!" |
To use a megaphone within earshot, use it in your hand (Z in hotkey mode). This gives you a similar dialog box to the speech input dialog.
| You type | You get |
I can't wait for this shift to end!
|
Gary Cassidy broadcasts, "I can't wait for this shift to end!" |
To use a megaphone on comms:
- Enable the hotmic on a station-bounced radio. Surprisingly, this does not work with wall-mounted intercoms.
- Place it on the ground nearby.
- Use the megaphone.
| You type | You get |
I can't wait for this shift to end!
|
[Common] [Librarian] Gary Cassidy exclaims, "Glory to Nanotrasen!" |
[Common] [Librarian] Gary Cassidy exclaims, "Glory to Nanotrasen!"
To speak in a different language, prefix your message with the language prefix.
To native speakers of the language, your message will look like this.
To people who do not know the language, your message will look like this.
Keep in mind that the AI has the ability to automatically translate all languages spoken over comms!
You can switch back and forth between languages in a single message, by using a language prefix anywhere in the message.
