Starmade | Chat general chat redundancy
Confirmed task for development, LowPublic

Description

#1
Lancake:

The "chat" tab is always there, and it's the general channel. You can also open this in a standalone general chat menu but you still keep that other one.
This way you end up with 2 chat windows about the same chat. This is fairly annoying since using the tab window still switches to the "chat" tab, even if it is set to the channels menu.

Removing the chat tab completely (do we need it?) might be the best thing to do. Maybe putting people default in a general chat would be nice (when they first start up, they can still close it permanently if they want to).

#2
SmilingDemon
change the overall chat window to something only opening on request to manage channels or when no other chat window is active on hud.
there is no way to identify to which chat you did talked in that window any way, making it a big mess to keep conversations apart.
