Ingame Mic Chat?

God no, if a server had 10+ people all using voice chat it'd be a clusterforget of voices and you wouldn't be able to hear anything. Chat is fine, it works fine, you can scroll back up through the chat to read what people have said, this is a bad idea.

Badspot can edit the engine however he wants, and in effect it already is a custom engine.

The cluster of voices isn't a reality. Even with other games that have 16+ players, its not going to be alot of chatter unless someone starts a conversation which isnt a problem. To fix this, there would need to be a mute option in the player list. Simple and easy.

It seems like too much messing around, there's nothing wrong with our current chat system and this isn't really needed, in my opinion.

It's crazy people still ask for this. Think of another sandbox game that has voice chat and don't say GMod because that's a mod on top of a game with voice chat.
Voice chat is for being able to talk to teammates while you're doing something without having to stop and type - there's no use for that in Blockland, it's a sandbox game. If you want voice chat, launch via the steam overlay or use mumble or skype or teamspeak or whatever.
Loads of people in this thread are trying to compromise by saying "yeah we need muting, only approved players can talk blah blah" well all the options I just gave do exactly that.
It's not being added, ever. I guarantee it.
