so I had an idea that has arisen from the difficulty or awkwardness of maintaining voice comms with strangers you meet in game.
The problem is that atm you have to directly request voice comms with an individual commander. This is something i often don't feel comfortable doing as the other commander may not WANT to be directly contacted or even have voice comm's capability. What would be better would be a system that allows commanders who want to chat to do so while not being intrusive on those who do not want to.
What i propose is an 'open local' channel. A channel that every CMDR currently local to you can hear and communicate on if they have 'connected' to it (i.e they have to actively 'make the call' to it like when you request voice comms to another player). This would mean that people who WANT to chat with other commanders locally can do so easily while not bothering anyone who doesnt want to or cannot use voice comms.
