We appreciate the discussion that has gone on in the last week or so, and we are trying to take your feedback to heart. We recognize this community knows Wing Commander better than any other, and we'd love to have your help with a task that will speed along the release of Saga.
As you may know, Wing Commander Saga will include more than 50 distinct sets of pilot voices besides the voices for the main characters. We have been
working on creating lines for these generic pilots that are
distinctive without being ridiculous. We are finding that it is quite
a challenge for a team of just a few writers to come up with that many
sets of lines without if feeling a little recycled at the end.
So, in the spirit of community collaboration, we are asking for the community's help. We have the actors, now we need help getting lines for all the generic parts.
Let your creative juices flow! Write at least one set of lines for
each of the generic categories and submit them to us. We need all
kinds of pilots- rookies, veterans, cool as ice, easily excitable, and
even a few like Maniac or Maestro. Throwing in some humor is fine, but don’t make it over-the-top or campy.
So, send us your text lines, help release Saga sooner, and see if
yours get brought to life by one of our actors! Feel free to post your lines as a response to this thread. Thanks in advance for your creative contributions.
You can find the basic categories for the lines below:
1) "All fighters are destroyed, area is secure."
2) "Enemy fighters have arrived."
3) "I'm attacking your target."
4) "We're the backup and we've arrived to save you."
5) "Bravo Wing here, we've just arrived."
6) "There's a fighter on your six!"
7) "I'm dying!"
8"Charlie Wing here, we've just arrived"
9) "I'm getting out of here!"
10) "I'm disabling your target" (going for engines)
11) "I'm disarming your target" (going for turrets)
12) "I'm breaking formation to engage the enemy."
13) "Delta Wing here, we've just arrived."
14) "Echo Wing has arrived."
15) "I'm taking damage!"
16) "I'm ignoring your target!"
17) "I'm not following your order."
18) "I can't pick up your target on sensors."
19) "You just fired on me!"
20) "Main player has been killed!"
21) "Main player just did something cool!"
22) "I'm out of missiles!"
23) "My fighter is heavily damaged!"
24) "Main player is straying away from objective."
25) "Main player is traitor, off with his head!"
26) "I'm following your order."
27.) “I have destroyed an enemy!”
28.) Taunt 1
29.) Taunt 2
30.) Taunt 3
Here are a few examples:
This pilot is all business.
1.) There’s nothing on the scope but friendlies, sir.
2.) I’ve got bandits on the scope! Repeat, bandits inbound.
3.) Target locked, I’m going for it!
4.) Backup has arrived on the scene, ready to offer assistance.

10.) Confirmed, the engines are the target.
11.) Targeting turrets, transferring power to forward shields.
12.) Affirmative, breaking formation to attack.
13.) Delta wing is now on station.

27.) Target eliminated!
28.) Do you have the courage to face me, Cat?
29.) You fight like a lowborn!
30.) You are a disgrace to your clan!

4.) Support has arrived. Hold the applause, just show me who to shoot.
5.) Bravo wing on station. Don’t make me waste my time.

8.) Charlie wing is here. Let’s get the job done.
9.) There’s a time to fight and a time to run. It’s time to run.

18.) I can’t shoot what I can’t see, and I don’t see anything.
19.) Watch your aim!
20.) Another casualty, another cause for revenge.
21.) Yeah! Now I can respect that!
22.) No more missiles for me.
23.) (Angry and incredulous) Are you serious? This Cat is cutting me up!
24.) (Sacrastic) Sure, why don’t you just wander off and leave all the
work to us.
25.) The only thing worse than a Cat is a traitor!
26.) You’re the boss.
27.) Yes! Eat it, Cat!
28.) You were a mistake to begin with. Now I’m going to end you.

someone better than you? Ya, that’s the feeling you should have right
now.
30.) There won’t be enough of you left to send back home when I’m done with you.
Here’s an example of a humorous pilot:
1.) There’s nothing left here but the sound of silence. Uh, of course
there’s not sound in space, but you know what I mean.
2.) Looks like it’s about to rain Cats and dogs… minus the dogs.
3.) (joking) A target? For ME? Oh, you shouldn’t have.

9.) I’m allergic to being dead, so I say we get out of here!

12.) I am locked and loaded. LET’S ROCK!
13.) Delta wing is on the job.
14.) Echo wing is here. (joking) Is there an echo in here?

16.) You want him? You’ve got him.
17.) Wouldn’t be prudent, sir.
18.) I’ve got a big old bunch of nothing, sir.
19.) What part of “I’m not a Kilrathi” do you NOT understand?!
20.) Oh, man. We’ve lost Sandman. Exit light, enter night, I guess.
21.) Okay, I’ve got to admit, THAT was cool!
22.) I’m going to miss my missiles, because they are all gone now.
23.) Woah! This is not funny anymore! I’m getting shredded!
24.) I know it’s wise to stop and smell the roses, but this is not the time.
25.) I knew there was something odd about you. How could you betray us?!
26.) Roger-roger.
27.) KABOOM! Man, that never gets old!
28.) Hey kitty, you’re mama said you were so ugly when you were born
that the doctor slapped everybody!
29.) I’m about to help you cash in your life insurance policy, kitty!
