Chatting and teaming aren't mandatory in Starblast, but people like to team in Starblast or just say GG. The only way to do this is to know how to chat, right? Most of the letters on your keyboard have a phrase: O-Hello, B-Bye, Y-Yes, N-No, X-Thanks, S-Sorry, P- No Problem, G-GG, T-Team, F-Follow Me, M-Mine, H-Help, A-Attack, Q- Hmm, K-Kill, and L-Leader. I think they made that last one after me. JK. Those are the communications.
To team, most people say T and Q(Team Hmm). Teaming is a big thing in Starblast. Some people team because they want to have someone to protect them, but some people aren't wussies and team to make themselves stronger. This makes them much stronger, but on most occasions, people in teams are betrayed. Betrayal is almost as common as teaming. It is frustrating, but Starblast is Starblast. This is partially why I don't team. OK, I admit I sometimes team with people who's ships are a lot lower than mine. I know, I know, I am too sympathetic right? Well, guess I have to much heart. Of course, you can't team in Team Mode because the teams are already made for you. However, people sometimes have truces. People make choices that often destroy them (Betrayal I'm talking to you). When you team, you have to be careful. You never know when someone is going to betray you.
