-A new item being discussed [http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=14815 here] is non-music in-flight audio.  The ideas being kicked around involve making voice recordings of non-music items, to play during flight (perhaps between songs) like the pilot was listening to the radio.  The key to such content would be to have it explain, amplify, or describe some aspect of the VS universe.  The storm of ideas has still not settled but, while we talk through our ideas and work on details, we decided to collect the items here for later editing and recording.

 In most circumstances, news items should follow a pattern similar to what the text-based news system uses in bases and starports:
-* Introduction.  This could be something like "The following is a GNN special report," appropriate music (news1.ogg for regular news, the "sports jingle" for sports, etc) playing then fading out as the news anchor starts talking, or both.  [[User:Turbo|Turbo]] created these news headers you can use: http://www.willadsenfamily.org/VSvoice/GNN_header.ogg
+* Music.  Regular news uses news1.ogg (reduced in volume) and sports uses CLoneWolf's "sports jingle."  The link below includes both with the volume already set low:
-* Story.  The news anchor reads the story.  If appropriate, the anchor might talk to reporters on the scene, play audio recorded at the scene (sound bites, noises, or music), or even interview someone.  If a news article provides a quote, we prefer to do it in the form of a sound bite in a different voice.  If the news story is simply the anchor reading the story, keep the news1.ogg playing and during the period the anchor is talking, change the music's amplitude by -4 dB.
+http://www.willadsenfamily.org/VSvoice/gnn_news-music.zip
-* Footer.  As the anchor finishes talking, the news music fades back in or returns to full volume, and the sequence closes with a news footer to identify the source, such as "GNN -- We care."  [[User:Turbo|Turbo]] created some GNN footers at http://www.willadsenfamily.org/VSvoice/news_footers.zip

 * Anchor: A labor dispute at the Jacobs docks in Bernard's Star erupted in violence yesterday, leading authorities to discover a large smuggling operation. The local dockworkers saw a Mule cargo ship unloading without the use of union labor, and when they confronted the ship's crew were fired upon by the ship's private guards. The union members returned fire and called homeland security forces, who arrived to restore order. The subsequent investigation discovered the Mule to be carrying over 100 tons of nerve stimulators, black market organs, and other medical contraband, and homeland security impounded the ship and imprisoned its crew. The dockworkers were determined to have acted in self-defense and were released at the scene. Local union leader Joey Piccolo had this to say, "Ya don't mess wit da union."
-''This concept, while borrowed from a 1996 movie, is a fun story. I made it fit the VS campaign by placing the smuggling activity at the same planet to which a certain merchant, pawn of sinister forces, asks the player to make a delivery.''
