Social room/lounge at stations

Hi FDEV,

Playing FD can sometimes feel pretty lonely, even in the bubble. I know there are other player out there, but you have to 'scan' them, friend request them etc.

It would be nice that stations have a 'bar' or social lounge etc. Like a bit chatroom that all players docked in the station can drop into, to discuss stuff, like missions at the station, trading goods or just making friends.

Currently, everything in a station is just 'menu-driven', with hardly any social interactivity.

It would be good to place expiring bulletin posts in the station. I.e., "Looking for help with assasination missions" or "Want to form a wing" or "Anyone know where to find X"- people might respond and you could form buddies through ED.

Mix it in with the missions board, and a couple of NPCs, and it could be pretty cool

The Local and system channels already include all players who are at the same station. Space and the bubble are huge, this makes players spread out over many different stations. This does lower the chances of meeting a player outside of hubs where new players arrive when they start their career(LHS 3447 comes to mind). You can say hello at a major station, but people can choose not to respond either because they don't exist or because they are busy doing other things.

Or do you mean, spacelegs, the ability to get out of your ship? We don't know if spacelegs is ever going to be added, but it has been a frequently requested feature. Billboards at a station can be done in the menu for now.
