New Escape Pod Announcement

Post by Desolane900 » 27 Sep 2016, 14:40

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Replace our current "An emergency shuttle has been dispatched to your location" with the voice from the atmos processor in Aliens saying "All personnel must evacuate"

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It'll be less weird and a bit cooler. Also, who doesn't love sounds yanked from movies?

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): When the emergency shuttle is called, this voice calls for evacuation.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): insert soundbyte

I would be down for this if we isolated the "All personnel must evacuate" in the clip or something like that.

This is a great idea except that best case scenario is to have our own AI voice. If we start using movie clips, we'll limit ourselves to only movie clips in order to retain uniformity of a voice.

Anything is better than an AI voice saying the drop pods already on the ship will be arriving in 20 minutes. And both the first, and second, Alien movies used this same voice for any announcement by MOTHER or the Atmospheric Processor. I think Alien Isolation used it too. It's just the catchall announcement voice.

also the "15 minutes to reach minimum safe distance" bit. Escape pods take 23 minutes to leave and there's no need for safe distance as nothing happens to the ship that would require you to be at a minimum safe distance.

We'll get a cool effect when we settle on a voice. Resolved for now.
