Sometimes see new commanders , always give them greetings.... RARELY get a reply. No manners. Ah well, they usually just move on to greener pastures..
most of the time i'm actively flying and don't want to take my fingers off the controls. then when i'm docked up it's all too late as even the quick reply button wont work if they are in a different instance.
the comms really need some lovin' as they are a big weak point at the moment!
that said i did manage to exchange a few "merry xmas" and also gave one guy a warning about a player pirate in the next system over. so it's not impossible to talk, just don't expect a response when i'm docking or fighting!

But I really dont get that FPS drop in LHS 3447 ....there is something wrong done on the programming. My computer is above average and I use the best internet provider in our country... fiber cable, stable super fast link.... there shouldnt be any problem.... P2P ports working
i dont know about FPS, but i have seen rubber banding. i think we get peer to peer networking with the servers just helping us get grouped together. so in that respect i'm not surprised to see rubber banding should i be paired with someone on a bad internet connection.
doesn't explain an FPS drop though. but if it is just that one system then just fly round the neighbouring systems. you will still see other players as they head out on their missions or decide the 100K Ls trek back to station is wearing thin.
