In-flight chatter?

[Noname115]

This just occurred to me, but wouldn't be nice to have in-game chatter between the crew and KSC? Chatterer does a great job with this, I was just wondering if it was possible to make it stock. That would personally enhance my overall experience, not to mention add some realism. Also, for those who like to play bare bones stock games, this would be a tremendous addition. Flying inter-planetary missions with next to no sounds at all? Doesn't sound very exciting to me.

This is more of a side-note, but one thing that I don't really think would fit in is EVA breathing, true, it's neat, but listening to kerbals breathing down you're neck would get old. Fast.

What do you guy's think? Should this be in the game?

In space, no one hears me scream like a girl...

Seriously though, I would not mind chatter becoming stock. Optional, and with some configuration freedom. No matter how I configured Chatterer in the past, invariably there were moments where I reached for the mute button. But yes, some astronaut/space ship sound to add to the ambient sometimes would be nice.

Well, maybe, but most of all it would get creepy as hell.

Seriously, imagine Jeb just behind you, *INHALE* *EXHALE*

I dunno... for some reason it has a very spacey feel to it.

Somewhere, in an orbit far far away:

Jeb: "*INHALE* *EXHALE*   Bill... *INHALE* *EXHALE*   I am your pilot."

Bill: "Nooooooooooooooooooo!"

Listening to Jeb breathing during EVA like this?

 

Might get a little unnerving after a while

Chatterer is a good mod, lets leave it that way for the people that like to be annoyed by Kerbal gibberish backward speak.

I think chatterer is good but it would be nice to have various "language packs" to use to change the sound. This may be fun when doing different missions to different planets.

I think something on the same lines as chatterer would be a nice addition, along with other 'cosmetic' additions like clouds etc.  With toggles and settings to cater for different tastes and machine specs.

I don't use chatterer so don't know how it works, but it would be cool, and make sense, for it to use the same or similar phrases when performing the same actions. Like 'staging now' or 'cutting throttle'.  And, of course, chatter from the crew that ties in with the emotions in their thumbnails like 'wow awesome' and ' omygodImgonnadiiieeee!!!!'.  All in Kerbalese naturally,  though an option to use a language familiar to the player would be a nice touch, though probably too much trouble to be worth the effort in stock.

While Chatterer is a mod with a nice idea, I find the backwards gibberish very annoying after about 30 seconds in flight. If something like that would become stock please make it relaxed and subtle enough to blend into the background noise.

This is one of those things that shouldn't hurt the game, but it could if someone doesn't want it in the first place and has to remove it. Since there really is no harm in not having it, and its very much a totally optional part of the game I don't see any reason for Chatter to be added into the stock game other than just cuse. 

In that case it doesn't hurt its a mod, there are official mods for a reason, its a nice optional thing to add. In this case a totally superfluous one too. 

Just as a reference one of the biggest influences, Orbiter had 0 sound in the first place. Which made it kind of dull, but over time the chatter mod was clearly looped and got kind of redundant. Same can be said for this game.

Good points.

Yes, good points, as Noname115 said. 

If done well it could be a good addition, but if done poorly it could just be an irritant.

So the general idea is, incorporate Chatterer, add more sample packs and a usable volume slider which can be adjusted depending on the situation (on ground, orbit, planet surface, EVA, etc...)?

It could actually be useful. If they just had a short bit of chatter when they entered a new biome or completed a contract or entered a new SOI it could be a helpful little bit of auditory feedback.

Yeah sounds about right.
