I would like to get a list of people that have, or can get access to a PC/MAC/Laptop for voice chat programs. I am not sure if TeamSpeak, Mumble or Ventrilo charge to use their servers, but I personally use Dolby Axon. It is a free Voice Chat program. I would like to get it set up so that we can use voice chat rather than relying on in game text. If anyone has a server for TeamSpeak Mumble or Ventrilo that they wouldn't mind lending to the LS, that would be appreciated. If not, as said before, Axon is free and only requires creating an account.
I have a PC with a mic. I typically have just used Skype primarily just because people usually have an account already. I will say though, unless everyone is going to do it. I wouldn't go through with it. It is very confusing (been on the side of not having it up in the past) for a small subset of people to only be talking in voice chat with orders.
I can tell you first hand that having voice chat can be a massive boost. We used to use it a lot in my old LS in particular for Neo Nyzul before Adoulin came out and it was almost necessary at that point. I'll have to get people on here to post about this b/c the point Wolf made is right in that if only a few are on it's going to be confusing for everyone else not included in the conversation b/c we will hardly be typing. This can be a huge boost, we just need participation.
I do agree with you Wolf. In order for this to work, everyone would have to be on chat, otherwise there is going to be a lot of miscommunication. You would have people with mic's communication to each other, but not with those without, I understand that quite well. This was more so to see if we could get everyone on chat ,but it is unlikely.
