No wait, that never happens.

I just hate it when planes fly over and my radio picks up the safety demonstrations
- Thread starter Quantis Trap
- Start date
The messages are a little repetitive, but I find them amusing.
Also, not quite the same scenario when you consider the local channel is supposed to be shared.

I find it interesting that Frontier wants realism and they don't seem to grasp internal the concept of an intercom.
Yeah that's kinda weird. Then again, they also talk about that I should "descend to flight level 300", when I'm just over the pad, and I never understood why I should suddenly go up to 30.000 feet for no apparent reason
I always took that to mean 300 m altitude.
Not airplanes, but passing truckers running overpowered CBs can and do bleed into FM radio.
For what it's worth.
True. Illegal power amplifiers cause harmonics which can go way up the spectrum unless they're really good amps *and* correctly installed and the antenna tuned properly.
Maybe FD just alleges that our amazing ship scanners (which can't detect hunks of hundreds of tons of metal from more than 10km away) can pick up the minute harmonics that the intercom might cause.

Please never fly a real airplane
I agree, but I get why they did it. What would make more sense is if there was chatter with starports and cities, you know like:
Sirius Star Lines: Galileo Starport, this is Beluga 779 Heavy, I have a disruptive passenger and will need emergency clearance and security services ready on arrival.
Galileo Starport: Beluga 779 Heavy, acknowledged, police have been informed, emergency docking clearance request registered, docking pad will be available on your arrival. What is your ETA?
Sirius Star Lines: Currently 120 light seconds out, direct approach.
Galileo Starport: Copy, we'll be ready for you. Galileo traffic control out.

Artists verses technical professions...
Excellent idea! rep'd
Well... http://www.liveatc.net/
I agree.
It would be nice that instead of having "local" open we should be able to access different radio bands and listen in.
- Police radio to get hints of where the action is "inebriated T-9 pilot at Dennosia 4B on collision course, Viper C34 Intercepting" and those messages becomes fixed USS to KSS (Known Signal Source)
- Local space transmission bleed (the usual wedding parties)
- Emergency channel for combat, police, rescue services as pilots scream help essentially
- Low band signals (hidden stashes, pirate radio transmissions and covert operations)

millimeters.
My theory on that is that, we, as Pilot's Federation members (aka space illuminati) get access to a lot of very exclusive (ejector seat) but not necessarily legal equipment. For example, a device able to listen on comms from ships (see Anaconda cockpit thingy with exposed cables) that you shouldn't be able to receive.
A few examples:
_Dude on the galphone in a wedding barge calls his friend panicking, "I haven't even wrote my vows yet".
_Cruise liner broadcasting to its passengers "and remember that this vessel is in the top 1% of cruise liners"
_Classified military convoy comms between themselves about their secret cargo is eating through their subsystems.
_Pirate muttering to himself in his cockpit "I didn't expect this"
_Search and rescue ships messaging back to base about the state of the wreckage.
Etc. Etc.

I'd like to know why every second beluga is reporting malfunctions.
Realism was never the main focus of ED, immersion was however.
Each to their own on how this succeeds or not though.
I'm gonna boil you up.
