I was thinking it would be cool if voice could be further integrated ICly into the game, so you could use it over radio which would broadcast to everyone (along with maybe a grainy radio filter for effect), and perhaps voice could be affected by other in game things, such as not being able to talk while stunned or being husked, or perhaps when you are underwater it adds a underwater effect to everyone else's voice and mutes yours (unless you are using the radio).

Making voice an IC thing instead of what appears mostly an OOC thing would make it a lot more immersive I think, since radio noises and static are always cool and also tend to be a large part of horror fiction.

YES!! This could improve the voice chat completely! If you go too far away you could cut in and out because of a bad signal. You could turn off your radio to have private conversations but other people may be listening in on you... Maybe an antenna or something outside the ship that could be sabotaged. So many possibilities for game play.

Some requests I have would be an icon to show you're broadcasting, and settings for server owners. Like a slider for smaller proximity or global proximity.

Yeah it would be cool too if maybe voice range was lowered if this was added. Another cool thing that could go with this is a sort of 1 MC or PA system the captain can use, kinda like SCP Secret Laboratory.

I didn’t realize you couldn’t talk with out the radio in voice chat (mostly because I don’t have a mic) that definitely needs to be a thing.

I would prioritize making non radio voice chat over the static effects and such

Yes, this would be amazing

I don't think the static should be too difficult to implement either, though. Audio stuff isn't my area of knowledge really but just today I was playing Arma 3 life and in our teamspeak one guy mentioned a plugin which makes it sound like a radio. We all added it and it was pretty cool, really added to immersion, and would definitely make BT more immersive as well.

I admit I don't know much about audio stuff especially in the context of Barotrauma and its engine but it seems there are already existing resources for it that integrate pretty well into VOIP.

I think the static shouldn’t be too noisy cause this is the future so i think we would have better radios that can ID static and hopefully muffle it a bit

Just saw a stream on the game,

if everyone removes their headsets, the game becomes proximity. However if you're dead you can't hear anyone else. You can't even talk to other dead players. I feel like this should be the first priority to improve. Dead players should be able to talk to each other and hear alive players.
