Suggestion: I'm suggesting a form of communication for Antlion players (or staff members) to use to communicate over long, or short distances. To put it simply: An Antlion Radio embedded into their faction similar to the ones the Combine get.

Why it would be worth adding: To allow Antlion players to communicate between each other. Considering our only form of 'communication' currently comes from local OOC and PM's. It'd simply just make life easier for those playing as the faction.

We just have our own language flag. There's no system in place for long-distance communication besides radio, like everybody else.
Seems like something that might be worth deving perhaps using the radio system as a base? Surely antlions could communicate long range aren't they a hive-mind like vorts in a sense?

Antlions are sort of like a Hivemind. They're similar to Ants in how they work.

Castes, Designated Roles depending on how you "grew", pheremones, etc.

If Antlions die, other Antlions/the Hive nearby will know of it if we're functioning like how ants do. They will release pheromones that tell the Hive that there's danger here that can cause death.
