Newcomer / Intro Are they going to add speech to incidental talk from ships?

[SeaFireliv]

Sometimes when I get attacked or get checked by security they say stuff, but only in text. I tend to miss a LOT of it since I`m normally looking around at systems, etc.

I`m just wondering if they`re going to add audible speech? Since it would be an additional nice touch as with stations.

Not in the near future. Our NPC crew mates in upcoming 2.2 are fully voiced, but to dub every NPC and ensure sufficient variety... I don't see that happening. Would be cool, though.

That`s a pity. Thanks for the info. By the way if they need variety, I`m happy to volunteer my voice for free!

Yeah, me too! haha

It would probably add masses of game files but I've got a microphone. Maybe FD could run a competition (let us know if it needs to be a .wav or .mp3, and the phrases needed ..)

The thing is, with enough people, it don`t necessarily have to sound `professional`. People sound like people (from dull to exciting) and as long as you don`t have to listen to anyone talk for too long it should be ok. Only authoritarian forces should sound somewhat professional. Also with enough people doing this free, each one of us would likely only need to do a few dozen voice files and add enough variety to not sound repetitive or like the same person every time.
