	The conversation in space flight *is* digitized in the speech pack.
The conversation with the Stelteks are *not* supposed to be.  Why else did
Dr. Monkhouse upload the alphabet into the flight computer?  So it can
translate the Stelteks' language for you.

	Yes there is a lot.  Go back to the plot conversations and you will
see that the characters use your call sign or name in every conversation.
The only other conversations that do *not* use your call sign or name is with
the bartender or with the ship dealer.

	It makes the story less involved for the player, Mr. Enierga.  The
whole idea is not to "depersonalize" the player.
