Hi Sir,

Can somebody please tell Me how you whisper in chat ? I don't understand the chat in STO, how do you use the buttons COPY-NEW-DELETE ? what are they for ?

What does NPC mean ?

What is the difference between LOCAL and ZONE ?


Thanx in advance for the answers !

    To send a whisper use "/tell name@name, message" or just search for the name and right click and use send private message. For a quick reply to a private message, push backspace.

    Local is to talk to people in your instance, zone is everyone in all instances of your location.

    The buttons I've never seen, and NPC is the computer characters. I don't remember what it stands for though.

    The COPY-NEW-DELETE buttons are for creating new tabs in the chat window...

    Non Player Character, simple as it sounds.

    You can customize what chat channels you see in each tab. For instance I made a Fleet tab that only has the channels my fellow fleetmembers use to talk to each other. I never even look at local or zone chat anymore, because there is no one there I want to talk to.

    Also, if you are replying to someone's tell, you can just hit backspace and it will "whisper" the next thing you type automatically
