Audio Improvements

Several AI-generated voice lines have been replaced or refined.

Additional Notes & Current Limitations

• At the moment, Swarm ships can use usable modules, but cannot perform pod-catching actions.
  We are exploring the addition of a dedicated Misc Swarm Drone class for this role.
  If this approach proves unsuitable, pod-catching capability may be enabled directly for Swarm ships in a future update.
