Things are really looking up as far as non-gameplay related tweaks and changes are concerned. So I would like to know 2 small things: Are "in match/in quarters" status indicators going to be in-game soon? And second, we've been asking for proximity chat in some form or another off and on for over a year now, is proximity chat at least on the roadmap yet?

For people who read this who don't know what proximity chat is (since I find myself explaining it all the time in-game):

Proximity chat - Anyone who is close enough to your character in battle can hear what you are saying over your headset be they enemy or ally.

I'm not making a case for proximity chat here, it's been gone over a billion times in other threads. I'm merely asking if it has been put on any roadmap.

I would add one small related thing to your list Baal. Not trying to feature bloat, honest =P

The 'who's talking' indicator for HUD, minimap and squad list overlay(We are getting a transparent squad list overlay, right, CCP?).

Or that guy running at you with an injector when you are still RIGHT IN FRONT OF ENEMY FIRE. Proxy chat is also good for spying in on enemies who aren't careful what they say when they get close to your team. And, of course, in the hands of trolls, it can be used to shout "victory one-liners" at a victim as they die. Example: A Thale sniper been tagging your team all match? Fly around behind him and squish him with a dropship, and right before you land on his head you shout "I HOPE YOU LIKE BARBECUE *****, 'CAUSE I'MA 'BOUT TA SLAP MY MEAT ALL UP ON YO GRILL!" -(insert your one-liner here). And that, my friends, is how proximity chat males this game more fun for all.

Yeah, that would be really nice. It wouldn't be a ton of help when you have people with noisy mics, but in general it would be a big improvement. Especially when you are playing with new players and they don't know everyone in the squad's voice yet.
