PDA vibrate + do not call list - sartorius - 10-10-2016

Given that PDA spam can drive even the most hardened crewmember to suicide with the incessant beeping, a vibrate mode that only the player can hear would be great if only to cut down on the migraine inducing noise.

A DO NOT CALL list would prevent the pda from picking up messages from a certain sender so you aren't deluged with "HONK" from the clown as a sec officer.

Speaking of PDA spamming, is there a way to track down what's making the awful racket and email it a pipe bomb?

I think a do not call list would be impossible to implement. But you can just turn off your ringer.

Reply to the PM with a question you figure will get answered. If they reply it comes from their PDA rather than the packet sender's spoofed ID. Or hammer the sender with replies and listen for the beep. If not a packet sniffer of your own.
