Re: opt out of the big fucking text department heads get to use
we could try making it have an unique color or something.
honestly, high volume seems nice but whenever you have a big, important announcement then you're just fucked if you use it.

Re: opt out of the big fucking text department heads get to use
it would be fine if people only used it for actually important shit (maybe add a ctrl- or alt-click toggle on the headset to encourage the lazy) but heads either don't use it because they're not gibbering cocksucking mongoloids that understand theyll be heard if they say something relevant OR they're mongoloided cocksucking gibberers that feel the need to bant and chat and whine about dumb shit in common instead of doing their job while its cult and the cult is going wild and rampant because they're just blocking up the entire fucking screen with their dumb shit

Re: opt out of the big fucking text department heads get to use
One of the things I pride myself on is not using loud volume as a head of stard. 7 times out of 10 its used for attention whoring or power tripping. Some functionality to it, but just megaphone would be much better.

Re: opt out of the big fucking text department heads get to use
I am actually seriously tired of high volume stuff. If only we had NTSL or whatever it was that let us modify things on the common channel, so the AI could set anyone using high volume to instead have tiny text.

Re: opt out of the big fucking text department heads get to use
loud text should only be captain (on radio) and megaphones on not radio messages, when you hear loud messages you are expected to think "uh it must be someone important" instead its the fucking cmo the most useless head being loud for his short lifetime of 10 minutes before medical gets bombed

Allow megaphones to be emagged to explode in the person's hands, or deafen them and everyone around them when they shout into it.

Re: opt out of the big fucking text department heads get to use
I miss NTSL as AI when I could just turn off really annoying people. Most of the time they wouldn't think to order me to turn them back on. And if they did most of the time someone else would order me to turn them back off and with conflicting orders I get to pick.datorangebottle wrote:I am actually seriously tired of high volume stuff.

Re: opt out of the big fucking text department heads get to use
The big text from heads and AI is too big, I'd prefer a system like tgmc has where the higher ups have larger text, and the captain even bigger, but it isn't as massive as the LOUD we have

OOC spam is a very minor problem.
Put those two together, and my opinion is that officer big text is a very, very minor problem that likely needs no solution.
I suppose a cleaner way of saying it is that officers have enough trouble coordinating subordinates as-is. Making officer text opt-out makes worsens that problem while solving a problem that never really existed in the first place.

Re: opt out of the big fucking text department heads get to use
My issue is that it's not used to coordinate but to chat about dumb shit all the fucking time and it clutters up the chat window and makes actual important communication a fucking chore.

Re: opt out of the big fucking text department heads get to use
I understand that a situation like that could be annoying, but I've seldom ever seen something like that happen. If my boss or a fellow head was talking about inane claptrap over the loudphone, I'd ask them to use smalltext. If they refuse (which again, I've never seen happen personally) it'd be pretty easy to gather enough people on my side to intimidate them into behaving.

Re: opt out of the big fucking text department heads get to use
Make it so you can turn down the volume on your headset, making the text the regular size when someone's shouting into it.
...it also makes the regular volume text much smaller and harder to read.

In all seriousness, why not add an option in the preferences menu that lets you scale how big B I G T E X T is for you in comparison to the size of normal text? To clarify, this would all be listener-side, not speaker-side.
Uh, maybe an example would help explain it. Captain Larry McBigText says a thing over the common radio channel. Assistant John McSmallEars has his "size of big text" option set to "small", so the big text is only slightly larger than normal text from his perspective. Meanwhile, sec officer Bob McBigEars has his "size of big text" option set to "incredibly massive why is this even an option", so the big text is incredibly large from his perspective. Finally, scientist Nichole Default has her "size of big text" option set to "normal"/the default size, so the big text looks like how it looks currently from her perspective.
Maybe you could then add a second option that'd let a player alter the size of big text (from their perspective) from "important" headsets, such as the captain's headset or a nuke op leader's headset.
Or, if you don't want to go through all of that effort, just make the non-captain head of staff headsets have text that's bigger than normal text, but smaller than the captain's headset's text, although I personally don't think that any change to the size of headset text at all is necessary.
