The recipient is usually something like ''fleet'', ''command'', or ''squad 3''. When the recipient is ''fleet'', this only refers to members of the main fleet, not any scouts, squads, or members that are not with the main fleet at the moment (like bait squads). The recipient can be left out, when answering a question or giving a quick status update, like "point on XYZ" or "gate flash". If the speaker is stated, the recipient must always be stated as well. | The recipient is usually something like ''fleet'', ''command'', or ''squad 3''.

The speaker | It is important to identify who is speaking. The Mumble overlay is unreliable as a tool to identify the speaker. If you use the words "my" or "I", you probably have done something wrong. The speaker can be left out, if it is clear, who the speaker is, or it is irrelevant for the situation at hand. For example, if commands are given, it is seldom necessary for the recipients to know who exactly is giving the command. Also, the voices of frequent speakers, such as the Fleet Commander, or the scouts in the command chat, should be familiar to the listeners. | ||
The exact place is important to know for many status updates. For example, "There are flashies incoming" is not very helpful, since it is not clear from where they are coming. The place can be left out, if it is not important for the situation at hand or refers to the main fleet's position. | The exact place is important to know for many status updates.
