What happened to channel 9?
The channels in classic Fed were intended to split people up into ranks, but because the game got a bit top-heavy, channel 9 (the planet-owners’ channel) became the default channel that everyone tuned to. In Fed2, there are no fixed channels at all – you set up a channel when you want one, and give it whatever name you want. If everyone wants to all tune to the same channel, that’s fine – it just won’t happen automatically. At the moment you can use the ‘COM’ command to send your message to everyone in the game, which allows general chit-chat, but when the game gets busy staff may ask you to take the chat to a channel to avoid overloading new players.
