E mail

In privateer2 u could turn on your E mail, so u could recieve incomming distress
signals i.e. HELP IM UNDER ATTACK AT NAV POINT POINT 90 . this was a gr8
feature,it really made u feel apart of a big universe with lots of things going on that u could get involved in if u wanted to .Is this feature in fl ? i hope so,there s
something about recieving a destress call when your so close to home, what do u do? go home or go help?

Do you mean an automated distress call where you press F8 or something and it sends it out to all your friends/allies. And is it like actual e-mail where it is sent in real-time or just sent during the game while your allies are online. Cause there is a chat fuction that you could ask your friends for help.

NO you would be flying from point a to b you would turn on your E mail reciever
and recieve incoming destress calls as above, you then had to make a decisoin
whether to go help the persnon sending out the destress call or not.in one case you helped a cowboy type of charcter and he gave you some awsome guns at his home.Somtimes u just got cash,sometimes you died.trying to help people.

What about in MP and it is a human player being attecked? Is there any radio chatter from them to alert you? Or any way of calling for help?

you'll usually hear something like "I'm attacking *nameoftarget*".
If it's something like Freelancer, then it's a player.
also, a player can call for help, using the chat feature.. but i'm affraid, no one-button helpcall, at none i know of
