Elite dangerous galaxial radio comms.

It's been mentioned in previous posts.
I think it's a fab idea.
Simples really. As you jump into a system you hear the cackle of the radio go live.
And anyone else in that system/mode can talk ala discord or wing radio. Only difference is everyone in the system can hear it.
Fabulous for VR players. As they mostly cannot type in-game.
And why?
To keep tabs on the goings on in that system of course.
Use your imagination.
Gankers beware hehe.
Yes there would be latency issues in populated areas like shinartra or borann ll or lll. But those aside I think it's a sound proposition that does nothing to hurt any given group.
Can still wing radio or discord.
Just think this would go along way to making the game more populated.
Hell even cross platform or cross modes..whatever is best so we can chat warn flag spy watch coordinate etc

Note. Those with notoriety will only hear static when they attempt to tune in....

Why would a radio have any effect on gankers?

 

[Dragsham]

Because if they attack someone the victim chimes on the radio and if anyone else is local or nearby they can intervene...If possible. Or at least even the Score once the instance is settled... added to that lets say 9 players are in a system doing wotever .. and all is well...in comes a 10th? Do they all chat saying ohhh new incoming heads up!! So on...

 

[Maggie_Oz]

That relies on someone being attacked, so fair useless really.
The only thing I can see an open channel radio doing is filling my headphones with either static or twaddle

 

[Dragsham]

Option to mute of course. And I don't agree..if 10th player comes in he will be watched initially by all who are there..if he is friendly he will o7 and chat away....if silent heads up...could be a murderboat.

Isn't everyone hiding in Solo anyway?

 

[Dragsham]

Yes and they can hear it.
Everyone can apart from those with notoriety. Point isn't to rally albeit a nice thought and one that would be of great help to the victim...the point is the victim taking the radio by sheer panic.!! And others helping out in wotever capacity ..in the open as this would be it would allow others to find the wake and crash the party if close enough.
But the real deal is the chat..bear In mind you can't hear the cackle of laughter from the psycho lol

A few already ruined it for everyone else.

They'll implement it without a mute button then bcuz u can't mute random conversations, dogs barking, domestic violence, racial slurs, crying babies, mouth breathers, fans blowing, mics too loud, fdevs conversation of VR to be or not to be without conclusion then they'll kill it blaming it on toxic commanders....
I hope this clarification helps.
