Although it is technically possible to have keyboards connected to all three platforms, the connection rate on Xbox and PS4 is very low.
For this reason, I think this limits the amount of Commander interaction when they meet in the void.
as a lot of commanders fly using either the Xbox or PS4 controller, can a series of pre-canned greetings or responses be built into the game.
... Not telling you how it could be implemented, but as a suggestion, is it possible to put it at as a series of scrollable responses at the bottom of the top-Left-hand panel.
On opening the top Left hand panel, from the chat tab, if a commander scrolls down to the bottom of the tab, the free-text entry field (which still remains) is then replaced by a series of pre-canned messages that a commander can select.
messages such as:
o7
Greetings Commanders
Thanks
Welcome
Give me cargo
Help
Attack now
Defend me
I'm not the ship you are looking for...
It will help those occasions, either in private group or Open where you see another human player but cannot coordinate the finger dexterity to send a message and end up just appearing to ignore them
