Ship Communication During Battle Scenes

The thought of screams over the comms when a ship goes down, Captains motivating there crews, calls for abandoning ship. I like it. Ive seen something similar in gratuitous space battles, but it was just a text line, but it added a little flavor to the situation.

Eventually with the adding of fighters hearing there communications between fighter groups would be nice. Rouge one was good for that.

I don't think I want to hear info about weapon effectiveness, but I definitely want to see it. Like, nearby ship HP, shield etc

All of those ideas are great! The only downside I see to adding sound like this would be if too few verbal statements were added. If you ever played Bloodbowl a great example from that game would be the announcers. It added a lot of great commentary at first. Eventually however you've heard everything and without it adding anything of actual worth (i.e. conveying useful information to the player) it became old and annoying.

If it was part of the scanner View like when you hit the spacebar, and there would be text over units. For example this place is critically damaged, fire on each deck things like that. I'm hungry for a crater. 

Damn auto correct. E deck and craver, the joys of new tablets.

Hmm, pretty good idea, I like it.

It would greatly add to immersion. ^^

I really likes this idea. Maybe it could even be optional for those who would not like to listen to communication during battle scenes.

It’s an interesting idea which unfortunately: 

—Will cost too much as we need to cast actors for the voice-over, in addition to adding subtitles (for non-native speakers of the selected language)

—Is design-wise complicated: should they communicate in English? Natural language? How many lines is enough to have sufficient variety? That's a lot of headache for our writers, who are already hard at it on Diplomacy

Still, we are still working on giving more life to the battle cinematic, and in my opinion, you should see progress with the upcoming update! 

Cheers,

Yeah mate totally agree... the battles are missing a little flavour and this idea would make it a lot more exciting and entertaining for sure, big thumbs up, I want this in the game!
