I was actually thinking about voicing these myself, but if I don't like how it comes out, I'll call on your services. In general, the voice needs to be deeper and more epic. I'll post it on soundcloud after I finish the deep refactor of SP's cockpit tech and make the weekly dev update vid.

Heh thanks.

There's too many great opportunities for dialog here but I don't want to be a jerk and attempt to scoop them all up I actually didn't even think they'd get VA actually!

I just recorded what I saw in the vid and added the fidelitous ram (unless that was already in your script :tinfoil:) but I'd be glad to offer my """"talent"""".

Not to parp my own airhorn but I can do a pretty broad array of voices and a few accents so I like to flex that muscle when I can.

What ship to fill my Hangar?

Hi everyone,

i would like to add ships to my Hangar and i am not sure which i should take.

At the moment i have:
- Constellation Aquila (Exploration)
- Sabre (Combat)
- Aurora LX (small Trades)
- Mustang Delta (light combat)


I am thinking about getting an Polaris Corvette as soon as its availlable (Support)
What i could use is a Trading Ship, but i am not sure which one. (Maybe Caterpillar)
I also think about getting the Starfarer.

So what are your suggestions?

Psychiatric treatment. Even if this game was going to come out, why the gently caress would anyone buy a shitload of ships before it's released? Even if this were going to be the best game ever you still need to play the drat thing and find out what you enjoy doing in it. There's one chucklefuck saying the Starfarer looks good for $195. I don't think I've spent that much on videogames in the last two years, and these dumbasses are casually tossing it away for minor piece of DLC.

I really have trouble getting my head around the disconnect from reality these people have. It's like a loving cult, only one that was somehow created by accident by a group of idiots. Truly amazing when you think of the effort most cult leaders have to go to when all Roberts had to do was say "I want to make a space game."

Christ, I'm in a lovely mood now.

I am literally parping my way across the 'laxy it's great

I've always thought of that as a 'honk'.

A mighty honk though, no doubt. It is the second-best sound in the game (capital ship warping in wins of course), and I'll let one off even in systems I know are already discovered.

Both of those effects kind of rip off the Inception noise, which was probably inspired by Star Wars seismic bombs...people just love ground-shaking bass combined with a metallic thrum, it's probably primal or something.

Awesome, right on man. Hey I look at this deal as a Goon collaboration, and I'm just helping glue parts together. So whatever lines you come up with, if you think they'll work, do it and send it along. The best way to make sure I see it is to email solarplebeian@gmail.com. I will see it pretty much right away, although I may not respond immediately. When poo poo gets hot at work I tend to really deep dive. I'm a work no distractions kind of dude.

I have a stereotypical broadcast announcer's voice to the point that post puberty I've been asked if I work in radio hundreds of times (no I'm an IT guy lol). I have no voice acting training whatsoever, but if that would be useful I'll pick up a decent mike and take direction.

I was thinking about an announcer to call the Ram Matches. Kind of making fun of SC's racing announcer. If you have any ideas have at it. If not, I'll get around to writing a script sometime here in the 2 weeks.

It's like he records his speeches, then sits down, plays through them while flipping through a thesaurus and picking random words.
Then he dubs himself with a re-recording using those.

Actually, that explains the bad audio sync perfectly too.
