Any Halo fan is familiar with Cortana. Would someone be able to whip up an avatar that pops up during any point the ship is giving you a message? Like a witchspace countdown. Maybe even tie it in with Trader Assistant AI OXP and others that may be able to make use of something like this?
Just an idea. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to make it so, but I would heartily thank someone who'd be able to make this little piece of immersion into an OXP. It needn't even be humanoid; I'd be happy with this...
Well hopefully not that annoying...

I would giggle if Clippy was telling me witchspace jump failed.

Inflight overlays are used in
![[EliteWiki]](/images/elitewikismall.png)
Vector.oxp (see the last pic in the Gallery). In v1.77 we'll get another way to create them as Visual Effect combined with a effectdata.plist.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm a pilot, not a coder.

Oh, it was only a pointer for OXPers if they want to look up how to create such a thing. In v1.76.x it is not that easy, but still - it is possible. In trunk it will be a lot easier.

No! Quick, kill it! Haha jokes I don't know about an avatar though, I'd get really annoyed if this guy kept popping up every 2 seconds:

I was thinking more along these lines:
That's an altered screencap! I didn't actually get it in the game.

I would find that more distracting than in any way helpful.

DH? Is that you? Where are you buddy?
Your shield effects that you wanted from back in 2008 are almost ready.

Svengali's new cutscene demo for trunk features some nice avatar-a-like features. Maybe this OXP idea could work, although only in 1.77+...?

That's great! Will be interested to see if someone with actual knowledge of howto will do this. Wish I could...
