Enabling Undock Chatter in MP?

I’ve recently noticed that the undocking chatter present in SP (‘This is $station to Freelancer 1-1, good luck out there’) seems to be absent in multiplayer! Has anyone had any luck figuring out how to turn this on?

From here:

server.dll  86AEC  6250000f = square of distance from the center of the system over which bases no longer wish you well when un-docking [...] ~fox
```However, this offset is used for other things as well (specifically, raising it will cause NPCs to remain selected in MP, rather than the automatic deselect at 2.5K), so a patch will be needed to properly fix this.

Thanks for looking into this! Passing this on from Laz on Discord, who’s not been able to post here due to technical issues:

server.dll 173DA 74->EB

This seems to reenable it without affecting NPCs. Testing around for a few minutes and poking at the code I don’t see any side-effects.
