Communication among commanders in the Odyssey

I don't get to play much in open play and even less on my feet. Here I am at the station approaching the NPC that can offer me a mission and some dialog box appears.
And how does it look if I approach at the station to another commander?
 
Isn't that pretty much how it works in most games?
Fallout '76 has voice coms, (Area and team) which isn't too imposing, (Occaisionally surreal when some kid is getting called for tea or getting told off with an open mike) you need a headset to tell where shots are coming from. Normally I play Elite without so no microphone.
 
I don't quite understand you. What does this have to do with other games? Or if it looks the same in other games, is it normal for Elite ?
What is it you are expecting to see? A menu box of text options for other commanders, the same as for npcs?

I'm confused.

Or just text chat?

It doesn't work that way with CMDR's you have to use the chat option menu

ED has team comms, which again is expected. Area comms sounds like a nightmare; can't imagine the trash you normally see in global chat being in my ears 🤮. Is that the norm though? Or even desirable?

Yes.
The previously mentioned kids getting called for meals or told off being one issue, your own microphone giving away your presence while trying to sneak through an area or players just talking complete rubbish as you pass by.
I wound up disconnecting my mike unless I was in a team.
I've even listened in to the owners of trap camps discussing how it worked and what they were going to do with my stuff while I was in them.
