Are there any plans for a more personalized ship-AI? I think it would be great, especially for solo players, to have a "sidekick" AI that could fire off some jokes, tell you about the current system you are in, tell you when players of interest are in the area, give advice, etc...asked by Deadly Omen
So I... I think we're definitely planning to sort of personalize the level of the "Bitching Betty" so you can have different voices later on down the game. And, you know, potentially we could do some more ship AI personality, although we're not really going with the sort of AI setup in Star Citizen. I think we had a whole fiction thread about it that David Haddock wrote with the Tonya Oriel piece, if you remember the cruiser ship that went off that had the AI that potentially went crazy. So I think our world is more like the voice you get on navigation, and less like an actual personality. But, you never know... but I think that's kind of gonna be our take on it.
