I think it might be a good idea to display a
notification when a buddy logs in and log out. It would also be cool if you could select a sound to play when a buddy logs in or out.

/buddy notify [on|off]

Set it to "on" and you will see when your buddies log in and out.

A sound would be nice, but I think that would have to wait until the lua code is loosened up a bit--I know I'd like to have some sector/wormhole sound effects.

Yesyes, audio UI feedback, mmm. I'd douse myself with them if I could. I would only have to get a female voice actor with a sexy voice to do the lines. Or I could raid & pillage anime. Japanese shipboard computer systems? Hell yeah!

I've got some old, crappy voice synth software where I can adjust speech speed.

"Hull integrety critical" in a hectic female voice, spoken in under half a second. It's enough to reocgnize what has been said, like we don't aclautly read letters, but the shpae of the wrod.

Oh, how I want that to be spoken when I pass below 10% hull.

"Scan detected", "Hostile has entered the sector", "Charge battery before jumping"

YAAAY!!!

Oh, sorry, didn't know you could do that. I'm not very console saavy yet. =)
