There are many ways to alter how you communicate in game. Most of the time your character will be speaking out loud. This allows anyone within earshot to hear you.

However, you will often want to use common or department comms, shout through a megaphone, use a wall-mounted intercom, or speak a different language.

This page shows examples of how to do all of these things.

These examples assume that you are in hotkey mode. If the chat bar at the bottom of your screen is red, you are not in hotkey mode. To toggle hotkey mode, press TAB.

When in hotkey mode, pressing T opens your speech input.

To speak out loud, simply enter your message.

You type You get
Oh boy! My first day!

Gary Cassidy shouts, "Oh boy! My first day!"


To speak over common comms, prefix your message with ;.

You type You get
; Glory to Nanotrasen!

[Common] [Librarian] Gary Cassidy exclaims, "Glory to Nanotrasen!"

To speak to a department, prefix your message with the department prefix.

To use a megaphone within earshot, use it in your hand (Z in hotkey mode).

To use a megaphone on comms:

  1. Enable the hot mic on a station-bounced radio.
  2. Place it on the ground nearby.
  3. Use the megaphone.

To speak in a different language, prefix your message with the language prefix.

To native speakers of the language, your message will look like this.

To people who do not know the language, your message will look like this.

Keep in mind that the AI has the ability to automatically translate all languages spoken over comms!

You can switch back and forth between languages in a single message, by using a language prefix anywhere in the message.


[Common] [Librarian] Gary Cassidy exclaims, "Glory to Nanotrasen!"

[Service] [Librarian] Gary Cassidy says, "Hello to the rest of the service department."
