I would like to suggest the addition of a small chat box under the secondary weapon with the same size of the small boxes of time, score, etc.., the chat box could show 3 lines of last sent chat, or 3 chats if its 1 line each.

It could be made to be transparent and would fade after optional period and could be refreshed back with a keybinding, or could permanent with changeable percentage of transparency for different view. same font that is used in mech display could be also used

In this way it would be much easier to have a conversion without having to pause the game to read a long conversion.

i kinda like this idea

I believe something like this is definitely needed, although I think it would be best that it is only visible when you press the chat key.

I like it!  Something small that isn't right in your face and I agree that you can set it to transparent or to make it come live when you press the chat key.

this would be nice.

I wouldn't mind this. Could be helpful. It can be pretty easy to miss things amidst all the 'who killed who' messages and stuff.

If this was implemented, I think it would work well to have it semi-transparent (adjustable level) at all times, and have it become solid and possibly enlarge a bit when you actively want to chat in it.

Would it still show all the kill messages, or only actual player chat_

the kill messages position and rate is fine, the issue lies in the chat. so I would say the small box just to show the chat.
