I know there's a commander interface, but its just that, there is no communication whatsoever to and from the others on your team... we need a quick interface where the players can acknowledge, or comment on commands, as well as give status updates.

A flashing indicator on radar and if the guy is in sight, flashing indicator in his triangle would help zero in who is talking.

You guys know what I'm talking about, and know that 98% of the players dont use voice chat, 90% of that don't bother typing on keyboard, and I understand that, because there's less "free time" in mwo compared to a moba game where you can often chat away while walking for a minute.

These are from CoD, but you get the idea.

TLDR; Help make a MWO a social game, what it should be, instead of a quiet, repetitive grind for the majority who don't use Voice chat.

This is such a basic functionality that it's silly it isn't in the game yet.

I JUST made a thread for things like this lol... This is a good thing to have in there along with a general chat outside of game!
