Crew Feedback?

Been playing the demo' date=' having a good time. Just got the voice recognition working. I thought it would be silly, but it really adds to the "Captain" feel of the game. One issue I have is with the lack of feedback from the crew. There is a little note in the scrolling log at the base of the screen to show when orders are recieved, but in targeting mode w/ periscope, binoculars, etc. this is not visible.
In the retail version of the game, does the crew, XO, whatever echo back your orders?  I would deem this essential to using the voice commands, both on a playability level and an immersion level.[/quote']

There have been several debates on voice feedback from the crew' date=' and it was deemed to be left out, due to a couple reasons, that I cant really remember [/quote']

As an independent studio we had to be carefull about what features we added because of internationalization and expense issues.  We chose not to add voice because of the incredible expense involved to do it well' date=' plus the task of internationalizing is made significantly more time consuming and costly.
In the retail game the crew does echo your commands, but only in the information window, not out loud.
