Great Implementation of my favorite board game

Would it be possible to implement chat between players of the same group?
Either via a 'Message to Players on the same team' or a more limited communication via Signal Flags, e.g. Squadron to wear in succession or Frigates to Attack the enemy van

It would be a nice addition. It would also of course mean that a ship would have to be designated as Flagship to give orders. I can just imagine a signal: Form line of battle astern of the Flagship and everyone ignores the order or doesn't know which ship is the Flagship.

.

In the meanwhile, we can do something about it ourselves.

Maybe we should form Fleets and then play as a team. We can have a predetermined list of signals that would accurately simulate signal flags.
e.g. The signal would read: Signal from Flag to Squadron Red, Square, Triangle.
The Captain would consult his 'signals book' and find that to mean: Tack in succession
The opposition, not having the same signal's book, would not know what was happening.

Just an idea to add some fun.
