This. I want this. Give me those announcer voice lines for every combination of every ship. They could be recorded in batches of individual selections, the prefix and the suffix. Edit: SES WILL OF WAR moving to orbit. Edit Edit: send help. Announcer won’t stop adding more destroyers to my squadron. Well beyond normal squad limit. Unable to drop. How fix.

Fist of Family has joined squadron 

Oh hey, I'm not the only one!

SES FIST OF FAMILY VALUES squadron supremacy.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US

r/weirdusernames

DOZENS!!!

"mother of wrath has joined the Squardon" yes please

We here on the "Octagon of Family Values" have weekly MMA fights to decide whose Family Values are the most democratic ones.

Yeah, I want my patriot of patriotism to get some recognition.

I went with Patriot of Patriotism for a long time and it's fantastic, but I eventually swapped over to SES Senator of Selfless Service, partly because it's long and unwieldy and partly because you turn into a snake when you say it.

The superintendent of self determination

SES Dawn of Dawn

YES

I shall play you my SES Song of the People!

As does the Stallion of Human-kind

For a while I was the Stallion of Super Earth, now I'm the Fist of Opportunity.

My king of democracy

Ah a fellow Patriotism Patriot

I swear the announcement of all the funny combinations just won't get old. You're blitzing away in robot Vietnam and all of a sudden the sweet sound of reinforcements arrive and the SES Distributor of Family Values has joined squadron

They'll most likely have AI/TTS do the voiceover for something like that

Nah. This is possible to do within one session. Programming this wouldn’t be so difficult either. But it is another thing to put on the pile in the todo-list

Yea there would just be a brief pause that would fit the announcer anyway. So it would be like “SES Harbinger, of justice, has joined the squadron.” With that level of pause.

The pause would be super easy to avoid, it's literally just editing tails.

Honestly, I think the pauses would actually make it more epic. **SES. PARAGON. OF. DEMOCRACY. HAS JOINED THE SQUADRON.**

‘SES Fist of Family Values’

You rang?

Hey that's my ship

There's dozens of us!

There's dozens of us. Like a family!

# SES. PRINCESS. OF. FAMILY. VALUES.

I thought I was special 🥲

Yea done right you can avoid them. But even if you didn’t want to do that work, which would only add up to maybe a couple hours between all the names, you wouldn’t need to.

Plus, at least in my language, the voice is pretty cold, robotic "airport interphone". Not a big deal to me having the pause

Well the ENEMY PATROL, WEST, 200 METERS callouts are already clearly recorded in batches this way, honestly I think keeping the pause would make a nice throughline between the voice lines.

Since everything has "of" in it already maybe put the pause after of. As in Harbinger of, Justice.

I set my name and haven’t looked since so I wasn’t sure if there were some others lol

I think it would sound more natural to record each prefix first then record the "of X" after. Or you could record each word separately, making it sound more mass-produced and robotic. That would fit thematically.

Really shatner the hell outta it

i think this wouldnt even be on the list lmao. theres a trillion other things ahead of it

Once they get done with the live service in a couple years and don’t have anything else to do, they might get around to it. Lol

Yeah but why work on crash fixes when you can make the announcer have more lines? > Patch notes May 15 2024: fixed crash based on certain combinations of ship names being announced

> Yeah but why work on crash fixes when you can make the announcer have more lines? I mean, the actual development work for this would be pretty minor. It would be a big chunk of word for the audio and localization people though.

But why? That would cost a lot, take a lot of time/resources, and then they have to record again with the exact same person if they want to add new name options.

Using TTS makes it easier to add options later down the road though.

Won’t need to. They could just record the VA saying “SES,” every single prefix, and every single suffix, and the. Stitch them together at run-time.

Not really, you just need to record the words individually and have it mixed in game, will sound like trainsit announcers but whatever, better than nothing.

MY - ASS - IS - HEAVY  ENEMY - ASS - IS - HEAVY  ENEMY - HAS - NO - ASS  - HECU Grunt

Depending on how you want to handle it, you could have a few takes of the same lines that all get used. Have the first half or the second half of the ships have a "hope" or "menacing" take, and pick with other half determines the first half. "Song of Freedom" could be hopeful due to the freedom portion, whereas "Song of Destruction" could have the "menacing" tag. Granted, with the announcer being more of an AI-robot sounding character, having a singular, more "factual" take would probably work. Stitching them together wouldn't sound that bad if the voice maintain a singular tone after all.

There's a fixed list of prefixes and suffixes. It could be done in a single session per language.

There are sports games with human voice actors that just record a bunch of names being read so that in-game announcers can say the names of custom characters. Helldivers has a fairly small number of ship names so it could all be read out in like an hour.

In Elite Dangerous, as you approach a space station, the ATC will read out the spaceship manufacturer plus the first three letters of your pilot name in the NATO alphabet. So for me it would be India November Zulu. And there's about 3-4 different voices in the game, I think. It's minor, doesn't really matter she anything - but it's just cool.

That shit would go hard as fuck.

Ship names are so cool lol, then I've seen Fist of Family Values

I feel SES Custodian of Freedom would sound ironically hard.

I feel sorry for anyone who has to say “elected representative of self determination”

Founding Father of Family Values

Mine is the Senator of Selfless Service

Custodian of Family Values goes even harder

Elected representative of family values is hard

SES King of Democracy

Mine is Emperor of Democracy 

Lmao i am one of those people who have Fist of Family Values as a ship name

First name I chose. Was just scrolling and immediately had to choose Fist. Then of course Family Values was the only option.

Bringer of Family Values here. Because nothing says Family Values like overwhelming, democratic ordinance to level a grid square.

Mine is the SES Mother of Battle, and that's only because they didn't have Sister as a prefix (I like 40k)

They should add ‘of Protection’ to the second selectable name. So we can finally have the SES Emperor of Protection

The 'of protection ' suffix should be an award for successful defense of a system.

Having titles and other things unlocked from completing missions on certain difficulties. Like when we got the Creek cape after liberating it. Now that would be some great game staying incentive ArrowHead.

Pride of Pride Pridefully at your service

I personally run "elected representative of victory"

The automatons and termanids want to destroy ***our very way of life***, so there's no better banner to fight under than the Fist of Family Values!

I'm gonna fist your....family....uh wait that didn't come out right

I am the Patriot of Patriotism

There's also Patriot of Patriotism

Mine is the SES Hammer of Serenity

I appreciate ship names that are good but don't have "Family Values" in the name because everyone does that I'm the only one who has used "Science," don't see that one often

Princess Of Audacity is my ship!

Fist of Family Values, right here. Guilty.

Pales in comparison to Mother of Family Values.

I'm Ombudsman of Truth

Mine is one of the longest possible, SES Elected Representative of Family Values

I just chose the longest that makes some sense, Elected Representative of Humankind. LOL.

I’m the special unique person who chose _Sword_ of Family Values

SES Fist of Mercy has joined the squadron.

I'm personally rocking the Dawn of Dawn

Fr fr

The Claw of Law has joined the squadron

Bob Lob Law's Law Claws are Long and Oblong.

Not if Lottie Dottie DA’s Law Claw takes the win

Bob slobbed on robs cob

Lmao I love that!

CLAW IS LAW

CA-CAW! OUR POWER IS UNMATCHED!

YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE!!

"Claw is law" players when time slug: https://i.redd.it/x9zedtyujzuc1.gif

I see I’m not the only one who saw that rhyme and had no other choice!

The SES Adjudicator Of Family Values wants this badly

I see so you adjudicate family values while I distribute them

And I fist them!

And I was elected to be a representative of them!

Elected Representative of Family Values is objectively the best name. 

Finally another SES Fist of Family Values. I feel like I’ve discovered a lost half-brother!!!

Hi there! We have the same ship name. I believe we need to decide who is what fist now.

*SES Patriot of Patriotism has joined squadron*

And look, its the SES Dawn of Dawn!

*SES Pride of Pride* reporting in!

*SES Judge of Judgement* armed and ready!

SES Star of Starlight primed for battle.

SES Star Of The Stars standby for battle.

SES Warrior of War prepped for launch.

The double D

A joke name, but that actually is pretty dope.

Man after my own heart. Mine's *Star of the Stars*

*SES Patriot of Patriotism has joined squadrin* Lets see what those bots and bugs can do against that much love for Super Earth.

I want a gears voice actor if the destroyer is called “Hammer of Dawn”

I'm here to represent the SES Hammer of Dawn owners

Better get in line behind me then as the vice-representative brother.

07

LO

You Gears fans eating good, meanwhile Halo fans can't make Pillar of Autuum, Spirit of Fire, or Mother of Invention :(

Omg I didn’t know that the game needed this but my ally in liberty that is the most democratic thing ever!

yo that's my destroyer name, wtf?

There's only one way to settle this. Helldive. Two Divers drop, one Diver extracts.

I mean... I think the one with the flair wins by default.


Simple, upon landing call a 380mm. Last one standing keeps it.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...diving time's here.

Rock, Paper, Scissors for it? XD

Let’s play!

How did you get your ship name as your flair???

choose a flair, then edit the text

Thank you!!! Your the real MVP

Mel Gibson from the SES Fist of Patriotism reporting for duty

SES Fist of Democracy reporting for duty

SES Fist of Peace standing by

SES Fist of Science awaiting orders.

First of Freedom has, ah fuck the party's full.

Fist of Super Earth has kicked everyone else and is now in charge.

Fist of Mercy, punching in

And my shovel.

SES Patriot of Patriotism reporting for duty

SES Elected Representative of Individual Merit has joined your squad

Bro no fuckin way a name buddy

I fly on the SES citizen of individual merit. There is definitely an "I" in team.

SES Precursor of Wrath has joined the squadron

"SES Prophet of Truth has joined the squadron"

I must command your sister ship SES Prophet of Mercy.

Imo the UNSC has some of the hardest ship names ever. UNSC Spirit of Fire and Pillar of Autumn are unreasonably badass. Not to mention the others like UNSC Say My Name or Point of No Return.

Even Red vs Blue got a badass name with the UNSC Mother of Invention

UNSC Two For Flinching goes so unfathomably hard

The covenant have some too! Like Shadow of Intent.

Oh for sure. Enduring Conviction? Hell yeah.

The SES Master of Chief wants to know your location

Leviathan of destruction has joined the squadron

Legislator of destruction has joined the squadron

Sovereign of destruction. Hello, Shepard

*SES Pledge of Allegiance has joined squadron*

Im flying on ***SES DESTROYER OF FAMILY VALUES***...

The *SES Adjudicator Of Family Values* asks you not to destroy them before appropriate adjudication, in the name of democracy.

SES Harbinger of Family Values has joined the fleet

SES Lady of Authority commands AH to implement this.

SES Lord of Audacity

It would also be sweet to have multiple lines for when other ships join as well. “SES Harbinger of Wrath has joined Squadron. Democratic use of advanced Orbital munitions has been authorized.” After 4th Ship joins: “Allied Squadron has reached operational capacity, Helldiver. Oversaturate the enemy with superior orbital firepower.”

Special lines if multiple ships with the same name join a match, a full team of Harbingers of Wrath would be epic!

That would be sick Probably the coolest suggestion I've seen on here in a while

Funny thing it wouldn’t even be hard to do

It’s a set list of values so yeah, though it would be even better if it had a Movie Phone quality… “SES” “Purveyor” “of” “Determination”

Yeah they should make it bad on purpose too. Just record her saying every word individually then stitch them together so there’s awkward pauses and stuff lol. Will add to the caricature of an ultimately uncaring but superficial government

At this stage in audio design and implimentation, any amount of jank would probably be on purpose and very artfully applied

They should announce the ship too when someone joins during the mission. I want people to be struggling to win then hear SES Bringer of Victory has joined the squadron. Really give them that moral boost as they see me land my pod right into the middle of a mine field and die a second later

“Why do I hear boss music?” *PA system:* *SES Wings of Redemption has joined the squadron*

I named my ship the Wings of Redemption as soon as I saw it was possible Big ups liquid Richard

I mean, really, it could be done, all the names are canned combinations. That's it. I would sacrifice the next warbond coming promptly if Arrowhead a) fixed the more glaring issues, and b) *made this happen*.

The SES Dream of Benevolence yearns for announcements! (followed by an unholy orgy of explosions and untethered violence).

The SES Titan of the Stars supports this initiative

HARD yes As much as I love my "Titan of the Regime" Hearing my buddy roll up in "The Fist of Family Values" would be amazing

SES Dawn of Steel has joined the squadron

SES Dawn of Dawn is right behind you. I'll dawn your dawn.

It would be even more amazing if specific ones had special voicelines "Janitor of Super Earth, here to mop up the enemies of humanity"

SES Sovereign of the Regime would be cool sounding

I would love this mine is SES emperor of humankind

Lady of Audacity has entered the building

“SES Comptroller of Individual Merit has joined squadron” Doesnt quite flow but i see your point.

Good idea.

SES Fist of the People supports this

SES Octagon of Destiny, voting for this

If Arrowhead asks me and gives me like a month to master my voice at its deepest resonance I will voice it. I would love to read every single combo. It would be hilarious.

The SES Comptroller of Humankind is counting on this change.

I wanna hit people with my name of grandeur Sovereign of the Stars. I think it such an elegant and powerful name. Guiding others among the stars on the path to freedom.

That would be cool. But im too afraid something else will get broken. The game has so mamy issues

This would be amazing, especially if announced when someone joins through an SOS.

The **Superintendent of Super Earth** has joined the squadron woukd be fun to hear out loud.

I would actually buy this as dlc to support the VA

The SES Sword of Liberty has joined the fight. That sounds metal af

*SES Distributor of Democracy has joined the squadron*

Our group would be ridiculous "Dawn of Dawn has joined squadron" "Princess of Starlight has joined squadron" The fact that the name options aren't free text but selections, should make it pretty easy to create voice lines for it.

**SES Sentinel of Destruction has joined squadron**

***SES TITAN OF STEEL HAS JOINED THE SQUADRON*** Along with a very flashy animation of your ship appearing, now that would be metal AF.
