Highlights:

Version1 (low devtime):

Modify chat word filters setting to include:
1. Two different "words i want highlighted in text" sections with ability to choose colors for each.'
2. Apply the user choosen color to everything, including overriding link color.


Version2: (high devtime):
1. Whenever anybody links in chat a system, station or gate a lovely bubble should appear over it automaticly, showing the jump distance towards that particular object.


Reason/result: Both versions generate the same result - make looking at constant spam of intel channels more user friendly, especially for new players in alpha clones that might not have memorized random names of 0.0 systems. While version2 takes on directly the problem of "how far till anger or destianation" version1 provides more customizable approach without much if any extra graphics or overlays. A player using version1 of this system will be able to add names of all systems within, lets say 3 jumps arround homeplace and select it as highlight color red, then add systems 4-7 jumps away into second highlight field and make it . . .purple, because crazy must stay crazy. Result is the same, players are able to tell quickly and effectively how far danger is as the linked system names will change color depending on user highlight criteria.

Both options are completely client side and should not introduce any performance impact.


Chat:
Just how many years do people have to ask you CCP for proper monospaced font? I am sure after 13 years u can come up with one that is sci-fi enough.

Languages:
Please provide an option to choose voice/dubbing and text languages SEPARATELY, so people can use any combination of text and voice language as they please. It is currently possible to achieve that by replacing some folders arround with other but launcher constantly tries to "fix them". Alternatively, if much no effort can be given at least provide an option to disable auto check of voice catalogs
