What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Make teamspeak OOC, forcing people to use ingame comms and the ingame radio for IC communication.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
There was also a poll in the discord, both were before work has been done on the radio system to make it work better. The reason I am suggesting this now after the poll was done is because the poll was done right as the addon was implemented, before the radio groups were added.
Possible Positives of the suggestion:
Much better roleplay
Significantly less metagame
People cant use telepathy to have conversations in front of you
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
It is possible to metagame radio frequencies, meaning people could listen in on radio comms while on a different job.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Lets be real, anyone who has been in a regiment, department or faction that uses TS knows how much metagaming happens in them, people call out stuff after they die, people constantly call out things they shouldn't really know in character as well as other issues. Having all communication like that happen in game allows staff to moderate it through spectating or logs and generally discourages metagaming like that. Another issue with TS is the fact that people are able to just have telepathic conversations, giving complex orders while in a group of people which honestly makes no sense, things like "hey lets shoot this guy on 3... 2... 1..." shouldn't be able to be something you can just organise in TS, lets be honest it's just bad RP when things like kill codewords exist. The poll in the discord already passed when the radio system did not have radio groups, now that radio groups have been added the radios are much easier to use and could easily replace teamspeak.
