I went back a year in the suggestions and didn't see this so I apologize if it has been requested before.
Currently, fleet chat is lost in the flood of distress calls and enemy sighted reports. It would be nice, and help to improve in-game communications if fleet chat were a different color.
Thanks

agree. Though I dont have anyone to /f chat with, those few times a year I do, it would be nice to be able to make it out from the other neverending streams of yellow.
How about just a neonier color of green?

What colour would people prefer?
I'm not too fond of green and yellow, being colourblind, so open to non-daft solutions (it's not going to be magenta!) of colours we don't already use.
Perhaps teal?

I vote for Pale-Brown.
But, no idea how that works for the color blinded.

Nice willytee comic pic of you in the Boston, i see you stolen Kizmets sheeps!
Most guild/fleet/squadron is green though others are yellow. Blue is too dark and red has always been primary for out of character / yell / shouts.

Step 1. Create room in chat
Step 2. type /ro jo 'Room Name Here' passwordHere
Step 3. ????
Step 4. Fleet comms. Ragglock used to do this all the time and I have no idea why no one does it anymore

maybe can just make it more dificult and just add another Function just for Fleet chat..... and make it appear on the other side of the screen (right)
maybe use F-9 to open a window for it like the other F-4 does for normal chat.

i like this idea more so it keeps the chats apart and makes each chat area easier to see.
