Would it be possible to implement some sort of programmable hot key menu? Meaning, players can program keystrokes to all, team, or lance chat with a specific message. Example:
During gameplay, I notice a lance of fast movers sneaking around behind my team. I hit "Y", which pulls up a menu of user-programmable messages created in the mechlab, and hit "B" which sends a team chat message which reads "They're behind us!".
To summarize, a player would only need 2 keystrokes to inform his or her team that a threat exists in the back field, rather than taking their hands off both the movement controls and trigger to type out a message during a brawl. Of course, the option to manually type in a message should still be available for more specific messages but I think all of the commonly used messages would be very convenient for communication such as "lance of big guys around the corner".
