Radio channels

You can speak on a radio channel you have access to by using one of the channel prefixes below. Colons or periods can be used for the prefixes; for example: .m or :m will both talk on the medical channel. Note that the common channel uses a ; prefix.

To see a list of radio channels you can talk on, inspect your headset.

Emotes Over Radio

;emotehere*, eg.

;smokes loudly over the radio like a gamer.*

would come out as

[Common] Pete Zaparti smokes loudly over the radio like a gamer.

Alternatively, ;emotehere*talkyhere, eg.

;smokes loudly over the radio like a gamer, then pulls their microphone closely to their mouth*So, how's everyone else's day been?

would come out as

[Common] Pete Zaparti smokes loudly over the radio like a gamer, then pulls their microphone closely to their mouth, "So, how's everyone else's day been?"

The order is as follows: language, radio, voice modifier, action, message. So,

,!;%#audibly stubs his toe, and yells*FUUUCK!!

would come out as

[Common] John Foo audibly stubs his toe, and yells, "♪ ***U*K*! ♪" (in galactic uncommon)

Whispering over the radio will put stars everywhere, and you can't bold a singing message with yelling (you CAN yellwhisper though, weirdly enough).

Radio Frequencies

Frequencies are encrypted, so to listen in on a department is not as easy as using their frequency; you'll need a proper decryption key, which can be obtained by using a screwdriver on a headset which contains it. The AI Private channel is an exception and can be tuned into freely.
