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.

~~'''Comms Text Feed:''' view~~ incoming text ~~comms~~ and ~~send text comms~~

== 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.

~~· Untargeted (local) comms will~~ be ~~broadcast to *all* nearby ships~~

== 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.

~~· Use [TAB] to cycle through valid message recipients~~

===Channels===

To select an outgoing message channel, type it and press space. If that channel is valid in your current context, the command will disappear from your chat bar immediately. If not, it will remain and give you an error message when you submit it.
