An idea so simple that I'm surprised no one thought of it already:
We already have ship.accuracy, so we could display it as the pilot's Elite rank!

There has been discussion about this earlier and if I recall it right, the final thought was that pilots don't want to boast their Elite rank. If it's low, then you don't want everybody to know and take advantage of it. On the other hand, if it's high, you might not want it to be revealed to your opponent too early.

This has to go in the game! Genious! I had a good laugh

It needs broken up more, I think, into separate biographical fragments, which can then be assembled as needed (and of course most biographies will only use some of the pieces, which would increase the variety).

We could have things like (some of these are used above, and can be expanded as required):

• Early years information (first job, first ship, first command)
• Military service
• Religious affiliation
• Membership of guilds, clubs, syndicates etc.
• Political affiliation (some major and minor political blocs could include: Corporatist; Democratist; Federalist; Communist; Militarist; Monarchist; Anarchist; Northist; Southist; Eastist; Westist; Revanchist; Imperialist; Spartacist; Populist (Big-Tent and Little-Tent); Stoicist; Pluralist; etc.)
• Sporting affiliations/achievements
• Artistic/cultural achievements
• Notable kills
• Notable rescues
• Brushes with the Law
• Rumours
• Hobbies/pastimes

If it's possible to know the Commander's gender, then it gets easier to stitch sections together by the occasional use of "he/she", "his/her" etc. instead of having to repeat the surname all the time.

Exactly, and your samples highlighted how good CCL PhraseGen is - the complexity of that stuff is amazing, and it's all just Svengali tweaking a poem generator.

Allow me to join the chorus of people saying it's brilliant while I ponder the Detectors because I'd really like to see the Elite status of some pilots...

[pagroove]

I wonder if a Planet Text Generator on this CCL base could be built. It would make generating the Famous Planets Texts that are fun and interesting a lot faster.

How is this phrase generator linked to the game currently?
I tested the tool myself with the bios code and it is excellent.

The phrase generator is just an OXP, more precisely part of Cabal Common Library OXP.

[Zireael]

Looked through cim's documentation of the way comms are now handled by Oolite 1.79 and it looks spiffy. I've also looked through descriptions.plist, since the code pulls all comms from there.
I wonder how to plug all this neato stuff above into descriptions.plist so that it can be accessed by the in-game comms.

Still thinking of making a mini-OXP which would show ship.accuracy as the pilot's Elite rating, somewhat similar to Bounty Scanner OXP...

[cim]

I wonder how to plug all this neato stuff above into descriptions.plist so that it can be accessed by the in-game comms.

Not easily as it's currently set up. descriptions.plist isn't quite flexible enough to duplicate all the things CCL PhraseGen does - specifically, reusing the same randomly chosen item at multiple points. The planet descriptions generator is probably at the edge of the complexity it still makes sense to do with descriptions.plist expansion.

What I could do is let you specify functions as the comms key values as well as strings, and if it's a function, it gets called with the params to do whatever it wants to construct a comms message, rather than expandDescription being called with a string and the params.

That's a good idea. For vanilla, the function might still use expandDescription, and for this stuff, I'd make an OXP which uses CCL PhraseGen instead.

I actually think all Pilots should have to carry/buy One tonne of food at each station , Its all very well having to refuel at each station , but the Pilots would presumably need to eat and it's a heck of a long time between gal cop stations. Or maybe as one refuels , perhaps a top up of provisions in some way for a nominal fee.

[Diziet Sma]

the Pilots would presumably need to eat and it's a heck of a long time between gal cop stations.

Well.. it's only three days between stations, tops.. but it would take well over a year to chew your way through a tonne of food! Even if you ate 2.75 kg a day it would last you a year..

I figure the pilots eat at bars and restaurants while at the station, and their own ships probably carry provisions to last a month or two at most. Travel time from one corner of the chart to the diagonally opposite corner is only on the order of a couple of months..

These are great but just a small caution here which may have more to do with personal taste (and I appreciate that the above was just a demo anyway) so feel free to ignore...

The longer ones can be great once in a while but if they become commonplace then they lose something IMHO.

It needs broken up more, I think, into separate biographical fragments, which can then be assembled as needed (and of course most biographies will only use some of the pieces, which would increase the variety).

Yep, that's what I'm getting at...

I suppose if we compare it to the planet descriptions then I like the fact that there's the odd one liner,
"This planet is a tedious place",
then there's those with just a little more detail,
"The planet Tiinlebi is most noted for the Tiinlebiian mountain slug and its inhabitants' exceptional loathing of food blenders",
and then there's those made longer by the likes of famous planets (and to good effect )

Variety is the spice of life and all that but part of that comes from not just the details but sometimes by their absence too (or at least that's how it seems to me).

As I said, feel free to ignore and carry on with what's already looking very promising

[Zireael]

Redspear - thanks for the kind words. More ideas forthcoming (I've taken a good look at Oolite's descriptions.plist and most of these could stand to be more varied) and I hope the kind Admiral improves the comms code so that we can plug these treasures more or less painlessly.
