Accessibility idea for fleet chat

One thing that would make a big difference for accessibility in fleets is adding the option for coloured text in fleet chat. If FCs and nominated people could have their messages show up in a distinct colour, it would make it much easier to follow critical instructions especially for deaf or hard‑of‑hearing players who rely on text instead of comms.

A few thoughts on how this could work:

  • FC messages could be highlighted in one colour, relays in another.
  • Players should be able to pick their own colour scheme so it’s usable for those with colour‑blindness.
  • Maybe even add bold or slightly larger text for designated roles so commands don’t get lost in the spam.

This would make fleet fights more inclusive and reduce confusion when chat is flying by at high speed. It feels like a relatively small change that could have a big impact on accessibility and quality of life.

The only ones who can have different colors are ccp devs/isd etc in game. I assume most fleets are outside of the game

Therefore even easier to implement and this is an idea and suggestion loads of things are “only” but that can change.

I disagree. No players in game should have any colored chat.

5

In a fleet chat window? like we can already assign colours…agree to disagree

6

How many ppl in game are using fleet chat and not a 3rd party?

i coud actually get behind this…but instead of coloring the chat…color the character name depending on fleet position… FC/WC/SC
