Default

126. Add three-letter group to beginning of typed text, denoting current role. EG:

CAP - Captain
HEL - Helmsman
DO - Dive Officer
RAD - Radioman
NAV - Navigator
MAC - Machinist
CE - Chief Engineer

Examples:

"CE: Fidd: Do you need the batteries recharged?"

"CAP: Bloggz: not yet, I'll ring it when ready for recharge.."

A similar routine could be added for ingame voice, whereby the role of the person speaking is visible whilst their speech is audible.

Both of these would help in games where one is unfamiliar with the players, and/or their voices, or for poor English speakers to have better awareness of who is talking or typing.
