When you jump into a new system, you get the notification that you're entering chat and which system you're in - the vast majority of the time, unless you're in a hotspot, it's completely empty and there's no point in pinging out a message to see if anyone's in-system anywhere in a different mode or in a station or anything.
It'd be neat to have some sort of differentiation, even if it's just a "no carrier" message if there's nobody present, and squash the "entering chat" alerts until you enter one with someone else present (or someone else joins yours after you).
