NPC Communications

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Hello! I've ask this before. And I shall ask again!

Can we please get some basic context menu communication with NPC's?

I don't mind it not being voice acted, I mean, less than 2.8% of people make phone calls these days.

It has the potential to add a huge amount of gameplay options, from paying fines, demanding cargo, surrendering, and so on.
It can even be used in missions, asking for rumours or offer help, and to begin new ones.

It can work in a similar manner to docking request, where you just select them from the contact list, then you get some context specific options (pay fine, surrender, etc), and some generic options ('have you seen xxx?' or 'tell me about this system'.)

Yes, I think this would make the game feel more alive and lived-in if we could have some basic communication options with NPCs.

 

[Misty_Dark]

I agree.

It wouldn't be very hard to implement either - just a load of responses to the message sent.

Wow piracy could be fun.

So have I.

I'm just not letting FD forget.

I personally think it'd be such a game changer, it'll actually have more impact than space legs. Assuming it's done right. Lol

Agreed on this, it very similar to the game wing commander had to communicating to npc both trend or foe.
