Apologies from the forum Dom - in recompense please find enclosed a less stressed cat
Yes, You can interact between solo, pg and open interchangeably

Thanks to this chat mining is more fun (not saying it wasn't before) - since i can bad-talk wannabe pirates from solo/pgs (ok,ok, that's a half joke). I can also communicate with other people in the system (and in the New Boran it's very fun since it's full!). And the galaxy feels more alive.
So...ya, nothing wrong with it.

Hi Dom, thanks for taking the time to talk to us.
Spent last few days collecting info, screens, and examples to send corporate board + independent game journalists re: Fdev defending the racist and hostile environment forced on players choosing to play in solo yet by design receive cross mode system chat.
Fdev is either publisher or platform - since they exercise all rights and powers of a publisher, they can't hide behind section 230 laws re: open platform. Again, was going to let this go but the dev here and portion of players defending this nonsense has motivated me to send this collected complaint to David Gammon, all members of the board listed in Fdev's annual report and financial advisory, their registrar and solicitors, and every independent game journalist possible.
Given today's environment, I'm quite sure at least one journalist will at very least look into it (and easily verify from other sources that indeed, while not always present, system chat forced on solo players is at times full of hostile and racist chat). No further posts will follow as no minds will be changed here - fdev defenders will defend, etc.
Just from last couple weeks, mentions in threads such as:
1- https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...t-antisemitic-garbage-in-boranns-chat.546666/
2- https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/why-have-that-in-the-comms-panel.547354/

IF you have a problem with someone in the system chat, you can and you should report that someone - you can also block them.
What you're doing here on the forums doesn't help anyone and it definitely won't solve whatever issue you have with the game, players or developers.
Au contraire.
His issues aren't related to the game, players or developers.
That's pretty much all I can say without risking a timeout.
PS
It's just awesome that the thread starts with "More curiosity than annoyance" and ends with an attempted (and quite ridiculous) campaign allegedly involving shareholders, journalists and maybe the MI5.

The carebears would often claim that one of the reasons why they feel entitled to being in Open (yet choose to hide in Solo) is because they want to interact with other commanders. Being able to chat with commanders in Open while hiding in Solo is for them.
Why bother?
No sure why we see it and like others I too created the tabs so I dont see it.
Its very odd, but I've been playing for years so I understood what was going on. It has become a trash can chat tho..would like to see if go away or perhaps have another on/off in chat settings.
Two reasons:
1. We dont want to play PvP or gank-avoidance we like to just see the stars
2. Performance is MUCH better in solo and I have a 1 gigabit connect up/down

Any racist message would be inviolation of the EULA, if you encounter something like this you should report the player so that Frontier can take action. You clearly haven't, and it is completely mental to hold Frontier responsible for everything that is being said through their chat system without even giving them the chance to address problematic behaviours on a case-by-case basis. That system chat is cross-mode changes absolutely nothing in that regard.

That is just hilarious. How long did you have to sit and make that up.
Consoles have to pay subs (XB live or PS+) to join PG/Open
Also, as been said, performance is better in Solo - especially if using low bandwidth / high latency connections like low quality mobile data.

Have you actually reported any of the players you have seen making these comments via the in game tools? It seems to me that you are simply doing this on the forums to try and stir things up. I cannot believe you are seriously writing that FD are "defending" any racist or hostile things you are seeing.
Once again you site the developers response in this thread. But Dom mentioned nothing about the type of content, all he did was address the original point you made. Which, if you remember, had nothing to do with the content of the messages but just about seeing the messages across modes. The mere fact that you are now trying to make him complicit in this is, once again, disgraceful and shows your complete lack of willingness to understand the matter.
Setting System Chat to Hidden is the same step to isolate yourself from other players as choosing Solo mode.
You are not forced to see it. I know, because I've almost forgotten it exists.
The rest of the thread is hilarious as you're getting more and more lost in some crusade about who knows what and frankly... making a fool of yourself. Friendly advice: stop.
