PDA/Comm

The Comm tab of the PDA is your central communications hub. Its main features are the Galactic News Feed, the Buddies tab, and the Guild tab.

News

The News tab provides news from around the 'verse. It is updated any time you enter a station sector with information like local goods in demand and the Daily Trade Report. There is also a lot of user-created content posted to the News feed, from guild formations to race announcements. To view a news article, simply double-click on it and a small window will appear with the contents of the article.

Buddies

The Buddies tab lists all of your Buddies and their locations. Select a buddy in the list and:

• Click Remove a Buddy to remove the selected buddy from your buddies list.

• Click Send Message to send the selected buddy a note.

Guild

If you are a member of a guild, the Guild tab provides a list your fellow guild members who are online and information about your particular guild (MotD, etc.), as well as controls for common guild actions. Guild members are identified in chat by their guild acronym, usually a 3-4 letter identifier unique to that guild.

If you are not a member of a guild, this view provides basic information on guilds and how to join them.

If You're a Guild Member

A guild member with sufficient privileges (as defined by the guild commander) can:

• Click Deposit to deposit credits into the guild bank.

• Click Withdraw to withdraw credits from the guild bank.

• Click Activity Log to view a log of players who have joined or departed from the guild.

• Click Bank Log to view a log of guild bank deposits and withdrawals by guild members.

• Click Set Privileges is used by the guild commander to set member privileges, specify the MOTD (Message of the Day), and set bank limits.
