A little change that would be nice is have a speaker icon displayed next to the teammate's name currently speaking. I think that could help when receiving orders and such.

See Raven's icons here:



Much better than looking at the bottom of the screen who's talking and trying to find where he is on the map, no?

When off-screen, little speaker icon could show on the side closer to where he is so we can turn head to see who's talking if desired.

Love it! Speaker icon on mech could remain for 5 or 10 seconds, like the " need help" icon.

[MadHornet]

Full support of this.

[Snazzy Dragon]

That'd be a nice feature. Thank you for suggesting it-- fingers crossed PGI cares enough to implement it.

[Nightmare1]

That would be a nice feature indeed!

Its useful when the guy talking is within your FOW (60-90 degrees). It is useless when the guy talking is outside of it (270-300 degrees). Still its a very minor addition that doesn't hurt anything and might actually help. So, sure, +1.

Like I wrote below the image, when speaker is out of FoV the icon could possibly show up at the left or at the right of the screen so you could quickly turn head to see who's talking if required.

Yes, please

Yes, but that nullifies the entire point of the feature that allows you to see what kind of mech is talking and where he currently is without looking up the minimap/battlegrid ...

[Logitecha]

And perhaps also in the mini map/ battle grid

[Rhialto]

Nothing about this in roadmap... :-/

[The6thMessenger]

I like it and all, but what if lots of others were also talking?

Could we briefly reveal the name too while they're talking?

Wish this was also announced in the September, October and beyond roadmap...

[Kalimaster]

Nice.

[HammerMaster]

Seems simple enough. I like it.

[tauSentry]

Then don't forget to upvote Issue #140.
The details are in my earlier post from June 28th.

[Insanity09]

That would be awesome. It would be extra good if you could zoom the minimap when things were getting stacked, but any feature like this at all would be great.

[ocular tb]

I like it +1
