My Favorite NPC Message... What's Yours?

Fingers crossed the reason GalNet's on the back burner is because they've moved the writing team full time on to multiplying the NPC dialogue lines by a hundred times or so.

Team? I always thought it was an algorythm from the starforge... If it's a whole team working on Galnet, just imagine what they could do with a hundred peeps working on Elite...
 
When you blow up a wedding barge you get something like "at least we tried".

I suppose I should feel some emotion, but frankly I rather prefer the negative INF for the BGS.

Since you seem to be experienced killing the innocent ;):
Have you killed a stranded ship in a distress call by chance?
Once I shot at one unintentionally.
Unfortunately I don’t remember the message word by word.
It was something like: “Thanks to commanders like you humanity has gone down the toilet in the galaxy!”

Never had that one :D
 
Not so much what he said... but his name... LOL

You know what gets me? The weddings. Because all of the portraits are the same placeholder Elite pilot.

"I've never seen the whole family together before!"

I like to imagine that wedding - everyone standing around, all looking identical in their black Remlok suits, even the bride and groom. They gaze longingly at one another through their tinted visors. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.

THEY'RE SO IN LOVE! 😭

It would be great if on ship scan you got npc portraits of the bride and groom revealed and you could ponder what their kids will look like... :/
 
"This can all stop if you just give me 2t of cargo."

Technically he's right. If you gave him that 2t of cargo all of this would stop. He wouldn't harass you any more and you wouldn't have to finish kill him off. When he's dying from your concentrated fire it then looks like wishful thinking from his side.


"I knew I'd find you eventually. All that tasty cargo!"

Um... my hold is full of limpets.

Do you know how difficult is to get a rearm when you are high on notoriety? Pirating them is your only way so yeah, limpets in that case IS a tasty cargo.
You didn't thought about that, right?
:)



"You can't escape me now !" ........ as you approach the station slot :D

Better one is when you see that AFTER you successfully landed. Happened to me few times, once I even noticed how NPC dropped SC INSIDE the station just to ram the wall. Fireworks!



"All that tasty cargo..." While backhauling 752 tons of poo in the fortification Cutter.

Vegetarians can be real pests when it comes to bio-crop cultivation and facing severe lack of fertilizer. As one wise man says: one man's trash is another's treasure.


'my children will go hungry tonight.'

Well, mnie won't (not that I have any but it's irrelevant atm)
And you won't take me on guilt. If I could make 1B hauling biowaste then you can do it as well. Pecunia non olet.


"Please make way for larger vessels." - as I'm going through the mail slot in my Imperial Cutter, and the only other ships in sight are the Eagles MkII, and Vipers patrolling outside the station. And a lonely sidewinder sitting on a small landing pad.

Yeah, seeing that message in a Cutter/Corvette/T-9 brings immediate question to ATC: are you expecting Imperial Cruiser arrival any time soon?

Sadly I can't share my fav message as I barely notice them and when I notice them it's top 1% of all liners out there.
 
Not so much the message, but more the behaviour. When I used to do the skimmer missions in my fully engineered combat Corvette, an Eagle would come and start taking a few shots at me while I was lying close to the ground waiting for the next group of skimmers to spawn. It could have just sat behind me and blasted me continuously, but instead, it kept dancing around trying to shoot my belly, but there was no room under mu ship, so I could watch it dancing around then face-planting into the ground until it was down to about 10% hull. Out would come the message, "I'm going to boil you up", as it dived into the ground one more time. I couldn't even feel the heat from the explosion, let alone boil.
 
I like the one that goes something along the lines of.... "thats the ship, the one that every one is talking about, the one with the big haul".

And im only carrying something pointless like the contents of my chemical toilets waste reservoir or something.

The thought of these NPC's lusting over my 'Haul' always makes my eyes roll.
 
'my children will go hungry tonight.'
my internal response to that is "no, they'll get fed at the orphanage, because daddy is about to go bye bye"

one message i liked - but only saw it once ages ago, and never again since - was something like:
"i'm not much of a one for scanners. i'll just kill you and scoop up what's left."
