That is quite the work you have put here.
If it appeals to players and make them more "loyal" to Zarp, I'm in.
However, as Miia has stated before, I really don't want the possibility to hide the chat to be added.
More and more players use the voice chat for their KOS, etc., and we can see the increasing number of issues it causes.
Allowing them to hide the chat would create even more issues.
Other than that, good job, really !
