Hello guys,

I just saw the trailer of eve vylkyrie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SI1CB4rcf8) and I like the radio chatter in the background.

Is it possible and is it interesting to the (carrier-) capsuleers to install radio chatter for the fighters (drones)?

If we give the fighter pilots / drones the order to:
- engage a target, and the fighter pilots answer with a "roger, copy that, on it, engaging etc." It dosnt have to be the same, probably with some different answers...
- activate booster - "Activating boosters, sppeding, ..."
- firing bombs and so on...
- when idle - "need a target, call primary, ..." etc.
- some shuffled chatter (?), or typical radio chatter eve online-fleet commanders are using
- and finally, some screeming when figher pilot get killed with "see you in the next life" :)


Espacially when fighting alone on combat signatures, it would give the battle a bit more atmosphere, probably.

Fly safe and make new eden a better place ;)

If it comes with a button to allow me to turn it off without turning anything else off, sure. It'd get really annoying really fast otherwise.

This would get really annoying really quickly.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

If it's implemented in a way that becomes a tool for gameplay it won't be annoying, also the rest of the game could also benefit from this.

It could even encourage many players to unmute the game, wich is a common thing.

Many single player modes across games today involve an audible confirmation when you task a unit toward any interaction. I won't list specifics but it is certainly the preferred aim of game developers to use radio chatter immersively.

Obligatory "EVE has sound?" comment.

That would be neat; I hope they add it.

Those players who mute the game do so because the useless sounds annoy them, adding even more useless sounds will not change that.

Personally with multiple TS channels to monitor, FC and wing leader commands as well as requests for reps I need to hear as well as the really important things like shield and armor warnings I do not need or want more useless "chatter" in my game thank you.

I can see if my drones, fighters whatever are doing what I told them to do, I do not need nor do I want a sound based confirmation of that and the fact that you want it to be some useless "chatter" only makes the idea worse.

No it would not increase the immersion value of the game for me and to be honest there are several games I quit playing simply because the devs put to much of this type of useless crap into them.

In short I hate the idea of more useless sound in the game. And yet I acknowledge that it may make the game more enjoyable for others like the OP, so as long as I can turn this new sound off without having to mute the sounds I want then I say yes please CCP make this happen for them.

Of course during a pvp-battle the sounds would be annoying - in this case switch off in audio setup.

But I was writing about guys like me which like to play alone sometimes. And in my opinion the sound/chatter is very important to the atmosphere.

Just for fun, go for a combat sig with a carrier/drone boat and play video this in the background. Completly new player experience in my opinion .

we are so far above the ****s who fly these fighters what makes you think they have the right to even think about speaking to me?

If this goes in, CCP, PLEASE SHAPE MY CARRIER LIKE A BANANA!

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Why would drones ever give radio chatter, they are simple RC's, they have no brain to respond with.
Ok, now fighters 'maybe' but only if it's an easy toggle so you don't go mad after 8 hours of a big battle.
