what about "Battle Chatter?"

from Sins Forums
this game looks great and everything but what about "Battle Chatter?"

what's the battle chatter like if at all in this game?

is there much variety in what the crews say or how they communicate?

is the chatter very dynamic or do they basically just say stuff like "yes, sir" no, sir or is it more involved, useful and telling. do you hear dynamic "maydays" when zoomed into a ship that's getting beat bad or maybe some sort of cheers when a battle get turned?

basically what's the "battle chatter" like in this game?

thanks garrett

Battle chatter is one of the features that, alas, didn't make it into the game for release.

i've played a whole lot of games starting in 1992 and i honestly can't remember a single game off the top of my head that had/has 'battle chatter', please list some because apparently i've missed out over the years (hmmm maybe wing commander/freelancer type games had it, but definately not enough to expect them in any game)

It's been a long time since I played Homeworld, but I'm pretty sure they had battle chatter there. I'll admit it's a nice artistic touch, but it's just a little icing on a very tasty cake :P

Company of Heroes has a form of battle chatter as well, though obviously different than a space-based game would have. It helps, though, giving audio clues to what's happening.

As Ron said above, battle chatter didn't make it in time for release but its still something we intend to add, probably in one of the content updates.
