How will communications between two ships be organized? Do you have to choose different frequencies talking to an alien ship?asked by Wraithking

TL;DRShip communications are still early days, but the idea is to hail a targeted ship and open a private or public channel, with others potentially able to snoop depending on equipment.

In terms of the communication between two ships it's still early days on that, obviously there's a simple chat system that's in the game right now, but we're thinking that you'd open a channel; you'd target a ship; you'd request to talk to them and then you can make that a channel that you can talk on your frequency or you could have it public and broadcast. And then, potentially, if you're talking between someone on that frequency, depending on the ship and equipment, someone else could potentially snoop on it depending on what they've got. Not all the time but some people would. So we'll allow you to hail ships and open secure transmissions with them or just generally broadcast stuff and go from there. But it's still early days so they're all functionality and features that are yet to be properly implemented into the game but we have some pretty strong ideas on how it will work and hopefully you guys will like it too.
