Alien Pilot Animations

I hope the reboot will still keep the alien pilot animations. To me, they were endearing. At one point, I remember starting a 2-player-Solo Melee (I controlled both ships) just to see all the pilot animations.

I liked the burlesque Syreen raising her leg to fire, and the three kill switches on the Shofixti scout were a useful indicator of the self-destruct setting. The Arilou flashed a peace sign while they shot you with lasers. Some, like the Mhrnmrm/Chenjezu/Chmrr were just alienly weird. But all of them helped solidify the personality of the aliens.

I can understand if they need to be cut, but please consider keeping them.
