Just a rondom idea...what do you think?


Recommended Posts

I'm hoping the dev's might see this and possibly incorporate something similar. I know there are mods like Chatter but I think it would be awesome if for example Jeb was doing a solo mission on the Mun and you launched a new vessel and while orbiting Kerbin you got random radio breaks of Jeb singing "All by myself". Or recovering a black box from a failed mission/landing and the last transmission was "Oops I did it again". Just a random idea I had, I think it could bring in a new aspect of the game with locating and recovering the black boxes tho.

The black boxes would be a good idea, especially if a probe runs out of power, there could be a block preventing you from switching to it, so to find out what happened you'd have to find the black boxes. Even though they ought to contain some more info than just a few funny sentences if they are to be worth retrieving...

Thank you Sal_Vager. They could easily have contracts that would require you to locate and possibly recover the black boxes and maybe use it as a reward based thing. For example I locate and recover a dead probe on eve and as a reward I'm granted +5% to a specific science reward.

I like the idea...but its a lot of work.

You would need  voice actors, chatter triggering mechanics and - most importantly - lots of recorded lines. I mean this has a lot of potential and it would be really cool to have Jebediah humming while you do mid course corrections but beyond that it also has the very real possiblity to be super annoying! Imagine doing a number of solo missions at one point Jebediah always comments that he is alone...I mean you could make it better by having lines like:

Duduuh, flying alone, I guess - again.

or even later

Quote

Guess solo missions are the new hotness...

but even that might get old fast.

Contextual chatter might be really cool but its very easy to get stuff wrong there - and I don't think it would be the best use of Squad's limited resources, at least at the moment.
