Global Chat

[lemon key]

Are there any legit reasons not to have it? You could keep it off by default and warn players it's unmoderated or whatever.
I know you are gonna say "join discord". But wouldn't it be cooler to have it in game? I'm already alt tabing out to go to Inara and Family Guy Funny Moments Compilations...

Have you ever read system chat during an event, when over 1000 commanders are in a system together?

Now imagine 20,000 players typing at once in 'global' chat.

It would be impossible to follow any of it.

ED's chat barely handles system chats when they're immensely active.

No clue if a global chat would be usable at all.

I have been to SOL during an active event and it wasn't too bad. Actually had a good time chatting.

I mean NOW yeah... If they were to implement this it would have to be developed. But there are games with global chat. Most infamously probably Wargame Red Dragon.

You the same person who created the same topic on FD's forums recently?

Global chat in any game is horrible. Full of childish comments and spam.

As others have noted, system chat is bad enough in busy systems. I mean, so much posturing, people getting into slapfights over PvP on system chat instead of privately between themselves. Ugh.

Global chat = utter show.

That game has 500 players on a good day.

There have been over 14,000 players in the HIP 90578 system in Elite over the past week or two.

No worries, just interesting two almost identical threads pop up at the same time is a bit coincidental.
