We could probably do away with constellation chat. Nobody ever uses it, and the fact that it opens by default may confuse newer players. I think the first thing every experienced player does when they log into a new client is close that window - it's certainly what I do.

It's probably more trouble than it's worth to actually eliminate the feature, but I think it might be worth not having it open by default.

Agreed, it's pretty pointless.

I agree but local chat channel is the stuipidest idea in eve in my opinion.

REMOVE LOCAL !!!

There's a constellation chat? I don't even remember closing it.

Wow, maybe it really is useless.

+1 for getting rid of it.

Heh, this. I must have closed it when I first started playing EVE. It's been a while.

I remember it's a pain to reopen ether constallation or region chat. You have to open the channel list and they should be under...uh...player channels maybe? Hell, I can't remember off the top of my head. I agree I don't know why it's still there, they should remove it.

If constellation chat didn't open up automatically I would have never found region chat...
