Add short forms to text commands.
Some of the IRC-style text commands in the game could work just as well with implicit arguments if the capability were added. This would be especially helpful on mobile platforms where tab-complete doesn't work and the player's "Full Case-Sensitive" name needs to be typed in quotes.
Here's some examples:
/gunner accept - If the name is omitted, just accept the last gunner invite if the player is still docked at the same station as you
/gunner decline - Same as above.
/group join - Without the name, join the group of the last player who invited you.
/guild join - Same as above
/mentor accept - ... see the pattern here?

Couldn't you write a plugin for that?
Sure, I probably could, but that doesn't make it easier for all of the newbies who're just figuring out how the game works.
True. It seems more like a PCC thing then a dev thing
Except that the PCC doesn't have any access to that part of the game unless the devs give it to them as a special case. The PCC mission editor doesn't touch any of the in-game commands.
Again....the ability to write a plugin does not negate the validity of a good suggestion that should be part of normal game mechanics.

Plugins shouldn't be a last resort. Plugins should be for adding something that most people don't want/need or that would be too confusing for a beginner. This suggestion is the opposite of those things; most people use these commands, most people only want to accept the last group/gunner/mentor invite offered and situations where there would be confusion are rare.
Anyway, +1
