Doxxmedearly Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Currently, there are a few options for AI appearances at holopads: Default, Carp, Face, and a crewmember. Personally, I think it's kinda weird that to get a humanoid appearance outside of the default, you need to copy a crewmember's look. My suggestion is that the "default" AI hologram option gets changed to the character you make in "character setup." This way you can see more varied AI holograms, and gives AI players the ability to set up an appearance befitting of their AI's personality, without having to copy a crewmember's look and weirding them out. (If this is a thing already that I have missed, I'm sorry, and ignore this). Another idea would be to just give us more options for looks besides "Fish" and "Face," such as stationbound sprites, sprites not using in game (Outside of events or staff of change shenanigans), spiders, monkeys... Basically, I'd like to see more variety in holopad appearances for AIs. I'm not sure how difficult this would be, code-wise, or if it requires entirely new sprites. Thoughts?

Evandorf Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 I think having a simple cube where the Sprite flashes as a typing indicator would be neat.
ben10083 Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 I like this idea, adding more variety for ai holograms would be nice.
DronzTheWolf Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 I, for one, support this choice. The default humanoid AI is obviously Cortana, I can't wait to make Roland:
SatinsPristOTD Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 I would love to have Avacyn's holo image look the way Avacyn looks in the character setup. yes PLEASE.
Butterrobber202 Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 one naked Unathi AI coming right right
Asheram Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 I suppose I'll have to sprite a giant humanoid rabbit if I'll ever bring back Harvey.
Evandorf Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 I, for one, support this choice. The default humanoid AI is obviously Cortana, I can't wait to make Roland: What is this from?
Asheram Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 What is this from? Roland, Halo series. Shows up in Halo 4 and onwards as the shipbound AI for the UNSC Infinity.
Nexusuxen Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 I like this idea! Having a default hologram sprite you can set would be really nice. Makes it less frustrating when you forget to set your favorite hologram and appear as a human when someone wants to talk to you. +1 Oh and more holograms in general would be really nice.
Doxxmedearly Posted September 27, 2018 Author Posted September 27, 2018 Still would really like to see this! Bumping for any further comments.
Capesh Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Oh! I admit, by now Arlo’s hologram gimmick is forcing the HoS to wear the HoS voidsuit for a few seconds so Arlo can look fancy when he talks to crew. If that doesn’t work, any voidsuit. New AI-only hologram sprites would be very much loved. But on the other hand I’m doing an AI core room redo good meme me. Bottom line: I either see naked Cortana ripoffs or big SpaceFish; variety and uniqueness for AI players is hard to come by because of selection restriction outside of custom holograms - which doesn’t work regardless. So this would be a welcome addition yes. (Also I saw that B.B. cube reference nice one). +1 Edited November 25, 2018 by Capesh
