Social side ..."this stranger"

1) i'm seeing that Social side of the game (chat, interact, etc..) is not having upgraded a long time, i get the suspicion that they will remain so also in the release. Currently i consider the "weakest point" of Elite seriously and i hope to be greatly improved. At present it would be very hard to even employ a team wingam

2) i also happened that some ships NPC asked me, via chat, to trade but any interaction was impossible ... i am missing something or is it a feature of the future? (perhaps for the release ..)

1. I like it very much the way it is but it is very much personal preference. The current system helps with my immersion in the ED universe and makes space feel 'real'. I do agree that with lets say some tactical combat and stuff it would be pretty hard but workaround like teamspeak or mumble should do the trick.

2. I had that happend before and if that npc is looking for lets say computer components it will automatically take it from your cargo and give you a very good price for it. I dont know if its a placeholder for some more advanced mechanics but that is how it currently works.

edit: for number 2 that is how it worked in beta 1 i believe, dont know if its still like that

Click to expand...

I have never done this but the only way is too drop the cargo that the ship is after and they scoop it up and money is transfered.... but I have never tried it.

sorry, but there's no official answer on how it will be implemented social section? honestly i tried searching but could not find anything related to the degree of interaction with other players..... (not only chat or voice chat..)
