If your PDA is currently at a file screen, such as the Port-A-Medbay or Por-A-Sci, you will be unable to respond to someone who is sending you a PDA message until you leave that file's menu.

This has been the case for a while.now but in a way it makes sense to me as you would need to change your active program on a phone, why not a pda?

Most smartphones today allow you to reply to a text message without having to switch from your active app.

So that's why it's so hard to message someone back as the AI. I always just thought it was my shitty connection mixing with the game's janky nature to drop my clicks.

I thought this was intentional?

Let's not forget that NT are cheap bastards. It would make sense for them to give you something less functional than a "Decades Old Cell Phone".
