So, I've tried to speak to several players, and I've been using System Chat. Is that the wrong chat to use, or am I just benig ignored due to low rank? :/
New York system chat is usually being spammed with attention-whoring drunkards/psychomaniacs/8-year-old catgirl-admirals/whatnot. At least my experience has told me that.
Try again later. :>
Edit: The rank might be an issue. Higher ranked ships usually receive more attention. However when you're level 90 you're constantly being begged for donations.
