if CCP could make better tools /enable an easier way to integrate chat /voice in matches between Eve and Dust without opening chat tab and change channels and write stuff for that damn orbital...

Cool story bro, remember its soon TM , the devs have been quiet lately because we complain to much about a free game, we wouldn't if statements like this weren't put up start putting dates on your stuff.

CCP Nullarbor,
I believe that having pilots joining team chat when they connect to districts may not be the ideal modification, when we are using eve support a lot of the time the strike ship will be in the system in a safe spot waiting for the signal from the ground teams that they are ready for orbital support as siting over the district connected is quite unsafe.

Perhaps as an alternative the pilots could have an option on their menus when in system, as well as being able to warp to district they can "establish comm up-link" which will connect them to the team chat for the relevant district battle.
This would enable the pilot to stay in direct contact with the ground teams so when they are going to require OB support he can warp to the district and safely warp away when not needed.

Another option would be to allow pilots to search for team channels by inputting the planet and district designation into channel finder, allowing them to be in contact as they are traveling to the site.

As a final note, during one session we had 4 squads split between two planets in the same system with one strike ship in system for support, which again can present its only problems for easy communication.

We used a central channel which included the pilot and the primary squad, while other squads used either squad chat or team chat under their own preference, then whenever a strike became available the squad leader would switch to the central channel and request support, the pilot would then move to the appropriate location and deliver the strike.
Though this may sound awkward to some, it worked flawlessly with all squads being able to deliver their strikes within a minute of being requested on both planets.

I hope this information is helpful to dev teams and other players

putting the strike ship at risk when eve pilots already don't give a flying pig about dust is a poor mechanic...

if you want to entice eve players to participate in our matches then you need to give them incentive to do so...

more so if you expect a fleet to protect the strike ship you need to give an eve corp incentive to do so...

thus far you barely give us an incentive to play....
