That would be cool. But sound files can be huge an dyou need a lot of time to write the lines then record the voices.

Sword of the Stars also has something like that, mainly when acknowledging commands, but not restricted to. I also agree it would add to immersion when battles resovle. Good idea smiley: smile

Has anyone played Freespace 1/2? One of the things I loved about them was the constant banter between pilots, capital ships, etc over the comm. It really made the battles feel "alive".



Here's a trailer of Freespace where they used ingame comm chatter for the voices:

"Allied force now jumping in. Listen up pilots, Beta wing take out that cruiser ahead, Alpha cover beta!"



It really adds immersion + it would give another cue on how battles are progressing.

I hated how sots did it, in that they only have x number of voice files. after a while my son (age 3 at the time) started making fun of the game. When I asked him to do something he would respond "Yes my queen, it shall be done my queen" Yes I loved the insect race with the instant travel lol.

i too had a soft spot for the hivers instant travel ability,



it was so nice to start a game and throw out like 10 gate ships to the far edges of the galaxy and then many many turns later creating new splinter areas when they finally reached their destinations



truly felt like casting your future to the interstellar wind smiley: smile



but i agree that their voice files became repetitive very quickly lol

Yes, it would make the battles even more dramatic and lively, count me in.

You should just try pointing and shouting, it really is good fun and makes observers say wtf. Most certainly it would be an interesting feature, I just hope if implemented it would be disableable without having to delete audio files.

Hm. I'm just imagining the oneliners:



"Commander! Missiles incoming!" "Turn starboard! Starboard!! Initiate countermeasures!"

or

"All beam batteries on that ugly ship. Death to the Cravers!"

or in an eery voice

"Geth ssem. Wwe neeet foood!" from the craver side? XD
