Chat is the primary form of text-based '''communication''' in ''[[Elite Dangerous]]''. To view or send ship-to-ship text messages, the player must select the [[Comms]] panel (use focus mode or press the Comms hotkey, which is "C" by default). The player can use standard interface controls to navigate the Comms Panel and cycle through tabs.

== Chat Channels ==

There are various chat channels. The incoming text channels can be customized in the options tab of the Commans Panel.

* Main = is used for Wings and such.

* Direct Messages From Players = for sending and receiving direct messages from other players.

* System = message people in the same [[star system]]. System chat crosses all game modes within the same star system. So e.g. a person flying in Solo mode in [[supercruise]] can talk to another person docked in a [[station]] in Open mode in the same star system.

* Wing = message [[Wing]] members.

* Squad = the main chat channel for [[Squadrons|Squadron]] members.

* Squad Leaders = high level discussion among leaders of a Squadron based on ranks.

== Squadron Feed ==

The Comms Panel has a Squadron Feed tab where activity from the squadron gets posted. Certain ranks are permitted to post public and internal statements in the feed. Public statements can be viewed by non-members while browsing [[Squadrons]]. Internal statements are only view able by squadron members. There can be one sticky per category. The most recent one is listed on top. Squadrons can also share bookmarks.
