Indeed nice idea, add a menu list that allow to play all Elite Dangerous Radios as well as the last news from galnet audio on the play button !
Galnet audio a missed oportunity?
- Thread starter kiario
- Start date
I really like it, but its too short, maybe some music in between the news would be good, like the Fallout games radios.
Galnet audio is a welcome addition imo, and it helps in long SC but I agree with OP - ED could use in game radio like EU Truck simulator for example, or with pre recorded songs like in Fallout games.
Galnet audio will be an amazing feature if there are new news stories every day, preferably, multiple times per day.
Otherwise, your just going to turn it on once a week or so. Which makes it kinda silly.
As stated above, a "Play unread news articles" mode would be good.
Also, how far back to does galnet go? If it goes RIGHT into the start of it's implementation, that would be a lot of content to get through, but I think they pruned old stuff, which kinda sucks.

GTAV lets you set up your music folder as a music station - you still get crazy adverts in that station though they dont announce the music like in the games standard radio stations. perhaps FD might consider adding the ability to replace the game music by setting a link to your mp3 folder - it will then play them in order or randomly, in between the news articles. they might even make it so you add a playlist, so you only play the songs you want in the order you want. it shouldnt be too hard to code.
I think they envision you playing the game with the default game music though so i suspect even though people would like this, it wont happen.
Listened to GalNet Audio for the first time last night and must admit I'm a fan of the feature. Listening to the history articles reminded me of the articles from "the book" in the old Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy radio series.
It's limited now and I'd like a way to filter to only new articles but give it time. Adding custom content sounds a great idea but one issue would be providing a consistent experience for multiple languages. Not all ED players speak English!
As others have said, it actually made me feel more connected to developments as I am an only occasional visitor to these forums. Real life means I want to spend my limited gaming time out in the black, not researching the game! One of the articles I listened to last night has already set me on a different course for my current exploration trip, diverting from my route back to the bubble to head for one of Ram Tah's Guardian systems instead.

Yeah is needed, especially if GA can play local news articles.
I like the feature and it sounds better than I expected but agree it needs daily content if its going to be worth using. I'd also like it to not keep stopping every time covas says anything (maybe as an options toggle?)
I've tried that out myself, but not really what I wanted. I find its easier to just use Winamp running in background with a playlist active and use the media keys on the keyboard to skip. But same issue either way, it doesn't integrate with the events in game to manage the volume/play status.
