Pep Talk

- Version 2. 0 now propagates morale boost effect to crew & subordinates when applicable. Comes with cringe voice lines as well !

Welcome to Pep Talk

This mod adds a dialog option to any NPC that is "player owned", called "(Give Motivational Speech)".  Choosing this option will have them reply with energy (using a combination of appropriate vanilla sound clips) and give a boost to their morale skill level. This will increase the morale of the NPC by a certain amount (default 10, knowing that max skill level is 15).

(New in v2. 0) If captain/manager, they will also spread the word to crew and subordinates. Motivate a whole fleet by talking to the leader!

I find it fun and mildly immersive to hear your captains or managers give themselves the speech to their personnel :-)

Hope you like it.

• []Ver 2. 0: Added morale boost propagation to crew/subordinates when applicable, also possible via comm.

  []Ver 1. 0: Initial Release, only works on physically present NPC the player is talking to.

  Known Issues/limitations:

  • []Player dialog is locked while the voice lines are played. Ideally the player should be set free even when NPC is saying their confirmation lines.

    Future plans include:

    • [] Spread the word! : Motivate captains and station managers, and all their crew will benefit too, as well as their subordinates, etc.

      []Require consumable ware (Speech Notes), possibly various quality for various levels of Morale boosts, bought from station trader or maybe station managers

      []Limited Duration for the boost, possibly depending on the used consumable/speech quality.

      []Make the mod more easily customizable
