Player self made NPC call signs

[Hidamari]

ok, another idea i had was.

what if we could set our own call signs that the NPC's would use to identify us with.

so for example a command like

/callsign BHG yellow 2-3

this would set your callsign when the NPC's communicate with you to "Bounty Hunters, Yellow, Two Dash Three"

"im engaging Bounty Hunters Yellow 2 dash 3"

etc...

of course there would be many different combinations, just as the NPC's have many different ones to use.

just something nice to think about really, not a necessity, and id like to see 86 as much as the next person, so its just a thought bubble im letting you in on.

what you think of this?

I'd like it.

Its,annoying to hear different callsigns for the same ship.

May you ever walk in the Light, Shizune.

[Echo 7-7]

Yes please.

Perhaps we could begin with callsigns determined by the ship's ID?
Generic IDs still keep the "Freelancer" that currently exists.
IDs for Vanilla factions already have the appropriate voice-recordings so that would be ok.
Unfortunately, there's nothing for non-vanilla factions, unless someone wants to do voice recordings.

There was a sig here, once.

Yes please.

There are NPC voice bits for ''Pirate'', ''Trader'', ''Police'' and ''Navy'', which could do the trick.

That's such a minor issue that having Cannon devote his time to it instead of actual game-changing stuff would be silly.

^ That

Actually, it is not silly. It is an improvement to the fun people can have. So, since there isn't much to do until .86 comes out, the devs might as well quickly do it.
