We really need a better chat system

An IRC server should have been grafted onto the game from day 1. I have no idea what FD is trying to do with their communication system.

I'd probably play a bit more if there were some background noise from a galaxy- or faction wide chat on my fairly boring trade runs. But just flying silently back and fourth the same route just to grind the millions needed for upgrading to a type 7 isn't really what keeps me playing that ... "game".

which is something they should add - comms chatter... if 2 CMDRS are chatting it should be broadcast on an open channel, would make for some interesting game play imo

Voice comms, which we already have, plus an "open channel" that everyone in the instance can use. Actually voice comm needs a bit of working on, as currently it works sort of like Skype rather than cb radio.

Exactly. This is what keeps me from playing the game. Pew pewing is fun and all, but it gets monotonous after a while and I would love to do more. I just can't bring myself to traverse hundreds of systems with nobody to talk to and nothing to listen to but my engines humming. This game is like trucking at that point, but no CB radio.

Yes, we need a kind of global chat, faction chat, region chat.

And a chat that works and not display "could not connect to XXX"
