When opening the comms menu (beside the messages in upper left corner) with the keybind assigned, you can select a ship, 'open comms' and it should hail the guy. If he somehow accepts the hail, you can talk to one another with cool radio FX voice distortion and comm sounds... at least I saw a YT vid showing it that way in beta2.
So worst case, go hail the CMDR on the other ship with in game comms.
Ah, they commented it is a bit laggy compared to Teamspeak, though.
For TS3, to enhance immersion, there is a nice plug in called 'crosstalk'! It simulates radio comms distortion (tweakable!) on the receivers end.
So when YOU have it installed OTHERS sound like talking over a VHF AM radio.
