All I really want is a single button that will reply to the last person to send me a message. I feel so rude not replying to people, despite the fact they are generally trying to rob and/or kill me.
Please add a one button reply.

I don't know if it is the last person you talk to or talks to you but can push enter (quick coms in the options menu) to bring up your last conversation.

Pressing enter allows you to send a message to the ship your targeting, but when fleeing (for my life I might add) I would rather not slow down to scan every ship in the area just to reply to one trying to rob and/or kill me.
If you're fleeing, why are you bothering to type to them or anyone else in the first place?
Because of shield power (as I am not dumb/brave enough to fly cargo in unshielded ship) I feel I can type out a brief message while my FSD jump is charging.

For an MMO this game is very anti social.
Another example to OP's post is I was heading towards a station and I got a message out of the blue from someone who had obviously scanned me and looked at my equipment, he then asked me if I liked the PA (Plasma Accelerator)
I managed to find out who messaged me but was very close to the station and was unable to reply before coming into disengage range. He was also heading for the station so I figured i would reply when he appeared. HE NEVER DID.
I know for a fact that he dropped to normal space as it was almost the exact same time I did but even though the game saw fit to put us in the same instance of the system it obviously did not think the same again when it came to the station.
That's multiplayer fail for you right there, unable to even talk to someone who is in the same system / station area as me just because it decided to put them into a different "instance"
Long story short (too late) a quick reply button probably would have given me the opportunity to reply before dropping into normal space at the station.
Good idea Commander!
