By functional, I mean as a way to communicate something when you can't use VOIP for whatever reason. Stuff that ought to be in the free/default set so everyone can use them.
For example, an emote to convey "My headset/VOIP isn't working," would be useful.
Another example: "That's the guy making all the noise on VOIP," and points your Javelin at the guy, so they can get kicked or muted.
Another example: "Not AFK, but distracted" because on the the phone, or talking to spouse, or kids burning down the house, etc.
The emote doesn't have to necessarily look like the message it is conveying. For example, flipping the finger at someone can, by convention, mean kick that guy from the squad.

Those functions would benefit by beeing conveyed through text. If you can't outright tell him/her through voice-chat an emote might pass by the desired receiver while they are engaged. If the emote has a clear and visible icon that conveys the message it could work.
Edit: I also want a rocket-punch emote!

I don't know...maybe an air shotgun suicide to convey I F'd it up. Maybe the "eye am watching you gesture" when someone else F'd it up or generally being an ass.

Forget emotes. I want my javelin to be able to emit smoke signals from it's afterburner while flying.
Nothing gets the message across like a big peach up in the sky.

You and I both know the answer to that question. This is the new age of social games where you can't have any system in a game if someone could possibly do anything mean with it. |

How about something like Monster Hunter World where you can have an emote that blurts out short custom text? I think that would be pretty fun, really functional, and a good compromise for having no text chat.

Would be funny and cool if after a hard-fought battle ending in victory for your Pilot/Squad, if your Pilot/Javelin could break out into a victory dance (an elaborate Shuffle Step) and totally bust some moves

Judging from the "demo" I'll have a hard time finding enough easily accessible buttons so I can play properly - so I won't sacrifice one for stupid stuff like emotes or anything like that. I also find communication like that pretty annoying.

A gesture for your Javelin in this case could be pointing to and tapping your helmet (like in ANH when Luke strode down the gangplank of the Falcon and tapped his helmet dressed as one of the Storm Troopers, indicating that his headset wasn't working)

But given its origin, does it stand for "headset not working" or for "beware, there is a Wookie on the other side of the door".
