- Added: Neural Net voices. WIP.

Hm? What's this?

A number of things had AI generated AI voices attached to them as replacements for the Microsoft SAM voice.

Notable examples(some of which might be bugged, need to double check everything):
Jump Drives
Cloaks
Shield Toggle (not sure if implemented)
POB base login.

[Traxit]

Shield Toggle (not sure if implemented)

It should work with everything. Just tried it on a fighter.
Edit: I now realize it's about the AI voices. In that case, I heard no voiceline.

[Aingar]

All the keybind does is simulate "/shields" command being put into the chat. It also doesn't care about what ship you're flying.

As for the shield voices, I just confirmed it is in fact not fully implemented, so that will be part of next hotfix, hopefully.

80 more news articles were included with this patch, more to come. I'll let everyone know when all of the 5.1 content is included.

... Then we start micopatching in new story developments.
