Summary0023929: Remove AI taunts when waves are not against you
DescriptionI find it confusing to have the AI speak to me when it's actually reacting to some other faction, in a place I don't even have vision on. Removing the voice from those occurences would be nice.

The code should be doing this already, so there must be a bug in it. Do you have a save from shortly before such a wave hits?

Given the unpredictable nature of the AI target selection, I can't assure that you will get one soon, but here is a save with a dyson sphere freed the AI should eventually send a wave to.

Ok, I didn't provide a save since it was happening to me so often (I remember getting it with waves against marauders, in particular) that I assumed it was a widely known bug. I'll see if I can find a save.

I don't play the game, I only work on the game. So I can either spend an hour trying to reproduce the problem and 20 minutes fixing it, or you can give me a save and I can fix it in 20 minutes (all times approximate). If other people have bug reports with saves to reproduce the problems then I'm going to work on those with a higher priority than ones where I need to spend a bunch of time reproducing the problem.

Makes sense. I went through all my saves in my last game but couldn't reproduce it. Dunno if it's bad luck - I'm starting to suspect that with all that was happening, I might have associated the voice line with the wrong popup. @TechSY730 did you experience the same thing as described in this bug.

One thing that does happen, and that I assume is currently intended but could stand to be toned down, is when the AI sends reconquest waves against worlds which were rendered neutral without your intervention. Literally every reconquest wave vs neutral worlds triggers a voice line.

It's also possible this is just the "Voice lines playing at incorrect times" bug that's been reported.

This save seems to reproduce it consistently.
Just wait a little bit (less then a minute) and a wave against Cinda and it's Dyson sphere should trigger with taunt

I can take care of this sometime soon, now that there's a repro case. I'm juggling a lot of things right now, though.

If this is fixed, I would like to request this to be an in-game option or something. Since I don't really "play the game" and usually watch the factions fight it out, it would get a little boring not hearing the taunts.

Here is another save. Just wait a few seconds and a wave should be sent against the dyson sphere on Cinda
