Would it be possible to replace the client's pause screen with a large text field containing their chatlog? It would make viewing past messages a lot easier than having to go back to base and use the tedious chatlog there, which scrolls to the bottom every time someone posts a message.
Currently the pause menu is just 4 512x512 textures containing a reference on what each building does and a few key shortcuts.

I think they already fixed the bug or whatever where you scroll to the bottom everytime someone messages, Regardless it's a good idea.

No. Use the existing chatlog feature. Just bind a key to 'ChatHistory' via keycfg or keys.cfg

Didn't know that existed. I'll try it now.
