PDA/Comm

The Comm tab of the PDA is your central communications hub. Its main features are the Galactic News Feed, the Buddies tab, and the Guild tab.

The News tab provides news from around the 'verse. It is updated any time you enter a station sector with information like local goods in demand and the Daily Trade Report. There is also a lot of user-created content posted to the News feed, from guild formations to race announcements. To view a news article, simply double-click on it and a small window will appear with the contents of the article.

The Buddies tab lists all of your Buddies and their locations. Select a buddy in the list and:

• Click Remove a Buddy to remove the selected buddy from your buddies list.

• Click Send Message to send the selected buddy a note.

If you are a member of a guild, the Guild tab provides a list your fellow guild members who are online and information about your particular guild (MotD, etc.), as well as controls for common guild actions. Guild members are identified in chat by their guild acronym, usually a 3-4 letter identifier unique to that guild.

If you are not a member of a guild, this view provides basic information on guilds and how to join them.
