yeah that sounds interresting
it will give the game abit more atmosfear too.

I doubt people will complain. Atm we are hearing not enough sound effects and the cobalt frigate sound effects.... uuurggh

if anyone is allowed to shoot multi, it should be me, I have to put up with his spelling more than any of you!

anyway its not that bad... just imagine all of us trying to type in danish!

certain

Heh, I was going to post about this a few days ago.

I was thinking that, but I wanted a bit more. How about when you zoom in to a system, like really zoom in you start hearing radio chatter between civilian ships, traders, constructors, refiners. As they go by they could say passing comments about where they have been, where they are going, what they have, possible dangers back from where they came. If things are dangerous they could complain, things like that. Something that would immerse you even more into the galaxy.

Now this is purely aesthetic and should not take priority over anything more important.. likea AI. But it would be nice, after hearing how well the music score fits to the game, or at least the TEC I was hopeful that the immersion value of this game would be amazing.



That is true, but no one is going to be shooting anyone except the noobs



Actually the hardest language in the world is an old Myan dialect that is only used by a few thousand people in lower Central America.

And its not Chinese, there isnt any language called Chinese! There are two dialects spoken in China, and the main one is called Mandarin. And Old Japanese is harder then Mandarin.

But I guess it depends on what your back ground is, and what root langauge your language is derived from.

personally i think Cantonese is harder, but w/e, never really learned how to speak it

I especially like the thought of capital ships giving the fleet orders.

A chatter option with a volume slider shouldn't be too hard, and it would add so much to us dorks who like pretending we're in the game. The most surrealistic thing about the game, for me, is the lack of refugee ships fleeing a bombarded planet. That little change would make it seem like there were people on these planets, instead of numbers. A second immersion option that I would like (though I understand it could be annoying) would be the construction of civilian structures proportionate to a planet's population. They could be in a small, dense ring around the planet, like warehouses, machining shops, maybe even orbital farms! It would be cool if civilians mined asteroids (that didn't contain metal or crystal) on their own, and you could buy it. It might be more expensive than the black market, but it could increase your planets' allegiance.

The captain ship idea would tie in nicely with frigates and cruisers getting some experience and increased functionality: the veteran ship in any given fleet could be the captain.

Well just to add a note on to the whole zoom thing. I was a little disappointed with the fact you cant zoom right down on to a planet. I know that sounds stupid, but I just like to check out the full details of things. Like what my planet structures look like, or whats blowing up when I bomb the @#$% out of a place.

Oh and, yeah the radio chatter sounds great. Flag ship commands could add a nice full aspect of the feeling of your fleets.
