OK. It's been over a month. I've put up with the incredibly annoying and completely useless "taunt box". It's never remotely useful and only serves as a repository for famous last words "You'll defeat me" *boom* "I can shake you" *boom* "Your weapons are no match for mine" *boom* Well, to make matters worse, these flunky NPCs also know my name. Perhaps i should be flattered that my reuptation is such that EVERY pilot in the galaxy knows me. but if that was the case, and they knew that I had racked up over 3-4k kills, woudn't they show some humility...?
I propose the devs change the "taunt box" as such:
1-500 kills: "You're no match for me"-type taunts
500-1,000 kills: "Some say you're good. let's see"
1,000-2,000 kills: "Can we talk this over?"
2,000-3,000 kills:"I'll give you anything you want, just let me live"
3,000+ kills: back to normal taunts, but they say "sir". "You'll never defeat me, sir" "Your weapons are no match for mine, sir" etc. Kids these days. They need to learn some respect...
mumble mumble mumble. Stupid taunt box. Where's the option to kill it? Surely it's around here somewhere *rummages through the SWG code* "Ahhhh!Blast it! My gun's jammed!" *is dragged down into the trash compactor-like quagmire that is the SWG code...*

I actually had a Y-Wing say "Your skill is acceptable, you should sign on with us" or something like that before I blew it up...

Use it, and then the only times you'll see the stupid little comm window is on scripted events(missions) or when comming a station.

I turned my taunts off ages ago due to the lag i get when they appear. I only read the stuff they say in my first 3 or 4 missions then it got annoying. I have more important things to look at when chasing a Tier 5 ship with his mates shooting me than the pilot saying something stupid befire i kill him.

Last night I heard a Hutt Fighter say "I'll get a bonus for killing the infamous Twi'lek!" which was kinda cool.

P.S. He didn't get his bonus

If they didn't cause framerate stutter, Iw ouldn't mind leaving them on at all.
Sadly, this toggle option does not turn off the graphic box for flight computer commands, so every time one hits shield stunt or any other program, that lovely game stuttering graphic pops up its ugly head.
