NPC chat

I can't imagine it takes much development to add some variety to the NPC chats. The ones such as "closing in on high value target" which I must have seen 20 times in the last 10 minutes.

The area around space stations is quiet. You'd think it would be one of the noisiest areas in space? Can't we liven it up?

There's an opportunity to use NPC chat to deliver the game's storyline to the players. When the Thargoid return was discovered, wouldn't the whole of the bubble be talking about it and discussing it?
Yet i've not heard a single NPC warn me not to go to Pleaides, accuse me a being a Thargoid spy, nor talk about a holiday to Colonia.
 
The areas around large stations are busy with comm traffic, the only difference is that it's audio traffic instead.
I would not welcome my chat log being filled with the random chatter you hear around stations, leaving it as audio is fine.
 
I do agree themed chatter about current events would be cool and it's not totally unheard of as NPCs have been seen talking about unknown artifacts when they were first only obtainable from convoys in USS.
