Along with the release of the new NPC convoys, I think they should also be given a larger selection of hails. I also think we should have some NPC pirates added to the mix.
What are some things you'd like the NPCs to say to you?
1) YARRR
2) You will never take my cargo!
3) Death before dishonor!
4) Here, take all my cargo, just don't hurt me.

50) Forty credits for an hour, sixty for two.
51) Wow, I can tell you put a lot of thought into that. You really shouldn't waste something you have so little of on something that stupid...
52) Awww, wusa-wussa, wittle baby wit 'is wittle hail! Wussa wussa sooo cute...

68) Yes, uhm, I'd like two burgers, a small fries, four of those chicken nuggets and extra mayo.
69) Do I get a free piggy bank with that?
70) You're one of those people that pee in a bottle and throw it out the airlock, aren't you? Well, guess what punk. That water you loaded up at the last station? Yea, I think you get the idea.
71) Flexing my amazing pectoral muscles, I instantly come up with the ideas so deep you couldn't possibly understand. Like, what if like, we like, weren't in like, a real universe? What if, like, it was all, like, a virtual world?! WOAH!
72) We're but humble pirates with an affection for over-dramatization and extraneous verbosity, are we?

This thread is irrelevant. The hail system is having a copy of Eliza[1] integrated into it. After that, a1k0n will be combining his reinforcement learning into their LUA port of Eliza. Shortly, the world will be taken over by a robot therapist.

How about...
73) Go be stupid somewhere else.
Actually, I'd like even BETTER to see "death" hails from bots, like:
1) Your mother was an Orun collector! (Coming from an Artemis collector bot)
2) You SPAMMER! F***ing SPAMMER! GAH!
3) I'm gonna hunt you down and grief you forever you n00b! (And then have the AI in the bot that actually DOES know where you are at all times, and that bot hunts you down forever until you give it a kill)
4) Hey! I was TYPING! Damnit!

Since there are also CORVUS trade convoys those and their protecting ships should definitely display pirate hails and responses.
74) Ye want me cargoes? We want yours! Dont you run!
The more humor the better :)

Has anyone ever translated the binary that the combat bots respond with? If so, what does it say?
If not, can someone try and get that? Here's a translator:

Wow, running the fourteen bits of binary the bots give out through a binary-ASCII converter! WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
How come no-one ever thought of that before?!?!?!??!??!??!
How come no-one ever thought of that before?!?!?!??!??!??!
Because the binary is NOT binary but randomly generated 1s and 0s. At 8 1s and 0s per letter, the only thing it would possibly be long enough to spell would be HAIL, but since bots responds differently each time, I doubt it is.
Great, so when I hail a Hive Bot it spouts off a four-letter-word to me? They deserve to be slapped.
'You have now entered an automatic landing zone.'
Not only would it bring back memories of Privateer, but when you issue on the station thinking it will guide you in, the station master could PM you with, 'HAhahahaa, newb.'

Heh
78) You fight like a roid farmer. (Hee hee, I coined that taunt...)
79) Hold your position for terminal cargo inspection.
