Proximity communications (i.e. being able to chat with all pilots in a given radius) and starport chat lobbies that permit communication access between all faction-affiliated starports should be implemented. Right now, there's not really a whole lot of ways to establish or return contact with other players, which is kind of a bummer as far as being able to group up with people, ask questions, or to simply socialize. This is one of the bigger issues I'm having with the game thus far. It shouldn't be terribly difficult to implement some rudimentary comm channel options, either -- for instance, while I'm flying around in a fairly high-traffic newb area, I should have access to a comm channel bubble spanning several nearby star systems.
Some kind of /reply function would be a handy little feature, too.
