Radio Chatter?

Flight Sim type voices weren't in Legends. If they were in an earlier game, I wouldn't know. I was busy sinking ships in Silent Hunter II, III and IV.

Ah yes, I thought you meant the "clear" radio chatter from the earlier games, not dynamic (MS FlightSim style) chatter. My bad.

Flight Sim has a set range of callsigns ... which is why ATC can call you directly ("pasting" together the aircraft type with a series of alpha-numerics). The callsigns in Mercenary are at the whim of its players ... impossible to place in a file.

True, however, wouldn't it be possible for every pilot in addition to their "nickname"?

Well, not every pilot is a mercenary ... you can also start with a military career. IIRC, the first release had clear radio calls using the term "mercenary" ... but I haven't heard any of them lately. If "mercenary" was changed to "pilot" you could at least pretend "ATC" was talking to you ... that is, until some other pilot responded.

Well, I thought that just hearing the chatter between other ships greatly enhanced the experience, but maybe that's just me...

Maybe it still does it in SP ... perhaps I've spent too much time on MMaggio's server.

I also felt the station chatter enhanced immersion. I also think that some more specific chatter/spoken communication from the ship's crew members would be good fun.

If you want variety in voice-over without necessarily understanding what's being said, get BA to do it.

Must've been an echo ... 'cause I said it days ago.

Yes, there is radio chatter in SP. But you have to have In Game Voices Turned on in the control options....
