Npc portraits and more dialogue

[LogicSocket]

I would love to see a small npc portrait when speaking/hailing ships.

Perhaps there could be a database of these and when speaking it would randomly choose based on faction/alien type.

I would also love more dialog options and the ability to have a more direct impact

on relationship with factions based on dialog choices.

I loved the old Starflight mechanic of speaking to an alien race and being able to choose what "posture" when talking to them such as obsequious, neutral or hostile.

Another thing that would be interesting is a crew slot for communications officer

for dealing with hailing ships.

Thank you for reading!
