Hello CMDR's
While I was playing last night, I had my phone playing music from YouTube. It was the only thing I could do to fill the emptiness that is supercruise. While the score for Elite Dangerous is good in some parts, it’s still just to few to make a large impact on the emerision traveling the stars IMO.
For anyone curious what type of music I listen to while cruising, type Elite Dangerous Music in YouTube and it’ll be the first thing that pops up. I feel that, that type of music is pretty fitting for the everyday romp through the stars. The idea, as I’m sure so many of us had thought before, we need a “intersteller galatic radio” filling our cockpit with Elites finest instrumental music, or news. I like how and when music starts playing while I’m playing, but sometimes I would like to control what’s playing and when for a more customizable options.
*Refernce, I’m not sure if everyone has played Fallout 4, but the character you play has a fancy TV attached to his wrist, from where you can control certain aspects of the game, One of those quality of life changes you can make is a radio that plays 50’s style music. It plays on a loop, but because there is enough music and different channels (including a dude , that seems to just be talking) to choice from, you really don’t notice the loop. I figured this would be simple to add to help control the boredom for those 10,000-90,000 ly cruises with in the star systems, but in Elites style of music, or maybe even 50’s style music, whatever.
*Implementation/Features, I would think the only place really to put this new feature that makes sense would be on he System Panel->Function, next to the panel brightness option, and by simply Pressing A or X button multiple times can flip through the channels. (PC gamers will have to tell us how to implement it on that platform)
The other feature that would be nice is news radio, informing the CMDR's of the Galatic News by reading it through the radio, or maybe any encounters of players and thyroid activity that may have taken place over the previous weeks. I’m not familiar with current technology, or how much space it would eat upon the hard drive, but I know there is something out there that could translate text into speech using a generic voice.
*Note I wrote this hastily on the plane so forgive the poor grammar and punctuation. I hope to hear from this awesome community
*Also,when entering and exiting stations or hearing chatter, the radio would cut out when announcements are being made.
