Teutoburg speech

Is it just me, or is the verbal replies you get from the spamoburg seem a bit long? Some seem longer than normal units...

they are a bit speechy, maybe they are crewed with vulcans as well as built by them.

i wish the picard voiceovers for a1/a2 were longer. maybe when a hero ent E gets put in they could use all his dialogue from the cut scenes as his unit speech. have him talk for about 5 minutes every time you give a move order or cut some speeches out of the shows.

yes, i also feel they got a bit too long. we'll think of a solution

Similar to this, (I think) the newton's new speech is a bit wordy. It replies with a word then a pause then another few words. It sounds a bit disjointed. Anyone else think so?

A 5-minute speech for a simple move order?  That's outrageous!

I dont think it's bad to have a bit more wordy replies, it gives the ships more character nevertheless, we are aiming for shorter ones for the continuing redos

Actually, kind of makes sense for the Vulcan or engineer in these instances . For real combat ships, maybe not so much

I also feel they are a bit quiet compared to the other unit speech files. If I didn't play online I would just adjust the speech file myself but it would probably throw me out of sync with everyone else.

You should be able to do that.

There is also a unit speech setting on/off in the sound menus. if ya don't like vulcans talking your ear off, just switch unit speech off. thats what i do.

indeed they are quieter, you can turn that sound file up without breaking mp i think. adjust it with a program like audacity.

i dont like unit speech either, but if u turn it off you lose certain useful things like notification of a completed station, or completed ship, or completed research, or no moneys. i'd love to keep informational unit speeches, but turn off the mundane ones that trigger when u give a move order etc, i mean why tell me you're moving, i know you're moving cos i just clicked to make you move.

technically its possible by turning down the sound (a lot, to almost silent) all the sound files that you dont wanna hear. but thats a lot of work.

Yup, Myles is correct, you can change the volume without damaging compatibility

Thanks guys I might do that then.

Is there a list of who did which voice overs by chance ?

Be cool to know.
