Discord.
I don't need 6th chrome copy on my computer. Enough of other programs for work.
So use one of those. 
Discord app is electron based, this is just chrome packaged with their site.So use one of those.
I try to avoid such apps at all costs. Have to use couple as no options.
Also, galaxy chat != discord. As galaxy chat can be read by any pilot online.
Fair enough.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind having a feature like this, though I'm not fully familiar with all the gameplay and/or narrative hurdles required to implement it. But it'd definitely be comforting to keep in contact while far out in the black, since the galaxy is a lonely place.
There's no global instance. They would have to dedicate a server for it. And tbh, from reading the system chat from when I was mining, not really interested in the mental diarrhea.
1. Part of it is "system chat" already. Just need wider.
2. That's why fuel will be spend. So you can't infinite spam messages. That could be something smart consumed. Like "Galaxy wide" = 1 longest jump fuel. And scaled down in couple categories of "wideness".
3. Just turn off tab and don't read.

But if you do mine and want to spam - that will not work. Why would you want to hang on star and spam?
I suppose there’s Squadron chat and direct messages (I think) which are galaxy-wide... but they’re a bit more specific audiences.
Later I would replace em to consume fuel too for immersion.
And well, not everybody have squadrons. I would like to chat /read random people. Especially being far away for long.
Yes, but only if they put a toggle to disable it forever.
Yeh, good opportunity to rework chats too
Toggles for all stuff.There are already toggles for most channels.
It is part of game design actually. Once it added it will break many things, and it do, when you use inara. Game works not as planned. They wanted something like Elite 1984y.
There is reason why there is not such feature, and that is relevant for any game.
Too many players at once will spam chat tab like no tommorow, even without dedicated spammers or bots. Chats works as intended when there is optimal number of users connected, but once it gets "populated" too much, it can quickly became ridiculous mess.
Given how many players are at same time online across all game modes, if galaxy-wide chat would be possible, there would be chat spam like several msgs per seconds, to point before you could read anything, it would be already gone due of spam.... just look what is happening on chat at any twitch/youtub livestreams with decent popularity, where is thousands+ of watchers... good luck having actual conversations with someone at these. Unless you are extreme fast reader, it is simply not an easy task.
