Making a Voicechat Pack that actually MATTERS (Input NEEDED!)

Catch-all for all development not having a specific forum.

Stop what you're doing and get on this run!
Find teleport scout! (Is there one like this already?)
Aleph is camped.
Aleph is clear.
Clear the sector. (Maybe the same as "attack their probes"?)
Need stealth bombers.

For "Drop", we in theory have "Deploy Mines." Still, there's just enough cognitive separation between the two that "Drop" might be useful.

"It's a decoy!" has its uses now and then, for offense as well as defense. Good way to prevent all your team from launching at an op to stop a solo bomb run, when 15 seconds later your upped tech base is getting htt'd. Also for preventing bombers to ripping to the wrong tp2.

The problem with "Defend miners" is that 90% of the time , by the time someone has the presence of mind to use this VC, the miners are past any point of salvation. Maybe "Where the hell is the miner d?!" would be a better mapping.

And the other 10% of the time the team responds by going "wtf, the miners aren't in danger at the moment".

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

"Drop Now!" is already included in the current chatpack: "Deploy Mines!"

but I definitely like the idea of *USEFUL* voicechats.

Off the top of my head, here are the ones I've noticed we need for sure:

"Aleph is clear!" or "Coast's clear!"
"Push!" or "Ram me!" or "Ramming Speed"
"Bombers, stay in base!" or "Don't launch! You'll reveal our strategy"

Can't wait to see the final list of _useful_ chats.

idk how useful it'll be but how about "contructor going high/midhigh/midlow/low"
"lower your signature"
"wait for it" could be useful for drops/coordinated runs/breaking camp
"base in danger"
"back away from the aleph"

didn't read everything, so not sure if it is already covered, but something like

"go slow"
"dont' boost" / "don't boost until eyed"

could be useful.

Edit: added don't boost

Vcs to include techs, so something like a "need mini 3" VC could work.
