We still need them!!!!!

like:

/alias status "say_team "Defense Ship 4" reporting in at [current sector]."

/alias engage "say "Defense Ship 4" engaging [current targeted vessel]."

And we still need a timer function! >.<

And maybe something like this

/alias group Vessel1 Vessel2 Vessel3 Vessel4
/msg group Let's launch the multi-nation flag cap now!


Sorry. I had to thread hijack.

Perhaps they would work like variables in IRC?

#sector
/alias allclear "Say_Team Reporting in from #sector, everything is clear."

#target
/alias attarget "Say_Team Attacking #target."

#nhostile (nearest)
/alias backoff "Say #nhostile, please back off or you will be fired upon."

#nfriendly
/alias backup "Msg #nfriendly Requesting backup, please assist."

#damage
/alias damage "Say I am at #damage."

Yes, that would be perrrrfect!!

#target

/alias target "/me is engaging #target."
