Reading of Local News and not just GalNet Major items

Playing about with 3.0 Beta, the GalNet audio has added to my enjoyment of the game.

I would like to see the local news stories be able to also be read once I enter a system.

Combined with further News enhancements (per the original DDF target design doc), would be another step-up in "Core Game" improvements.

Hope to also hear the COVAS / TTS converter reading from the planned galactopedia in the Q4 Beyond release.

On the requested feature/ speculation front > this reading tech could also lead fairly directly to NPC text to speech synthesis. That has already been demonstrated by players as a hack using the Commander Log with an external TTS service.

It will add to the feeling of "life" in the game when NPCs can be heard and not just read; that will also necessitate an improved NPC text composer/ chatter system for less repetition.

Yep, being able to select which reports to be read out would be great for when in SC. My dream would be for GalNet to read major news first, then move onto select local news & when none is available it plays music; eg, GalNet Audio turns into a space Radio station… another company seems to do quite well selling music radio station packs for their city sim.
