I haven't had a conversation with anyone yet - it'd be nice just to have a chat with any random commander. I've flown past a few (usually at Shinrarta Dezhra, one of the only places where I've actually noticed other people since I joined Mobius) and will flash my lights a couple of times in passing as a kind of "hello" message - I dunno whether any of those commanders noticed or what their names were or anything.
If someone asked me if I wanted to head off and join in a combat situation somewhere I'd probably have to politely decline on the basis that my Cobra currently still has its default guns and my only combat experience in the game was the first three or four of the single player scenario thingys back around the time the Beta came out

. Plus I would probably decline any of those Combat Zone thingys anyway because I don't want to mess up my faction with anyone and have them hate me in case their ships decide to start randomly attacking or something

. That said, if I ever do gear myself up for combat, pirates will probably be my targets because
all the (nice, friendly, legal) factions will hate them, right?
