Hi,

Just something that popped into my head as I was using Google maps as a SatNav the other day....
Speech Synthesis accuracy has increased greatly in the last few years, and I think it would be an excellent idea to change Aura to use this for the voice. With various setting to change the pitch/tempo. That was you could personalise how your ships computer sounds, and ccp could save on voice actor costs :D
Not only that, your ship would be able to refer to you (and others) by name,assuming it could even pronounce your name :D

Just a thought anyway :)

I like the idea, though I strongly doubt anything of that magnitude will ever get implemented.

Then again I'm still salty over losing Aura, her voice was perfect.

The problem is the lady who is aura apperantly stopped doing voice work, and while she is THE BEST at that sort of voice and we miss her dearly its probably one of those "gone for good" things...

Unrelated but the first thing you heard in the C&C Tiberium Sun installer "Welcome back, commander" still gives me goosebumps. And yes, i did just date myself deal with it.
