Add weld me/have welder voice comms, says it all really. I am not sure why something as vital as this is not in the game considering how helpful it would be to welder teamwork.
If you are holding a welder you get an icon showing you everything that needs to be welded. The voice comms are really for the commander's benefit and he can't weld you.
More than "Weld me!" we need "Stop, let me weld you!". The yellow icons for things that need a weld are enough. The problem is on the side who you want to weld.
The comm system needs to be redesigned to an almost Freespace style of quick selection. Use C to open communications, then numbers to go through a tree of options.
C = Open comm 1. Nearby Allies (1. Got your back, 2. Follow me, 3. Need welding, 4. Aliens spotted) 2. Commander (1. Need medpack, 2. Need Armour, 3. Need orders, 4. In position) 3. Taunt 4. Vote Kick Commander
