We already discussed that in the Alpha but it's really necessary to improve the ways of communication at the tower.
Right now its very silent and boring there. Players can only PM each other or silently invite others. We need to have a text chat or an area voice chat here. This place is meant for socializing too - how do you want to do that if there is no way do address questions, opinions and such to the public player community?

I think a request to talk would work well. It can be in the same menu option as inviting someone to your fireteam. This allows those who do not want to hear a ten year old practice all those cool insults and curse words to go about their business, but still easily allow people to talk through the microphone if they chose to. As it stands right now, I've never joined a strangers fireteam or anything. It would be nice to quickly talk to someone to see if we wanted to work together than to invite them, then find out he wanted to free roam and I wanted to do a strike.
