Agreed. If I could settle down and start a new life somewhere with just a voice, it'd be that one. Just so comforting without being too wishy-washy.
New COVAS voice pack on the store (so new voice packs are going to be store items then)
- Thread starter Alec Turner
- Start date
This is such an obviously cool thing to do that it must be on the list of "things that need to happen sooner rather than later"!
Little people on the station landing pads and in control towers is also on my xmas list!
As for the voice pack ... bought it as I own the HSC one
Hi
OK that detail I overlooked. tho my view on cosmetic style content in a payed game that is then paywalled is still as I mentioned "bad".
Well to some players cosmetic-style content is also a part of essential content, "like making your character look just right (mass effect, dragon age)"
They suffer even tho they payed the same.

The thing is anything cosmetic does not have any effect on actual game play or P2W (Pay to Win) they are there to enhance a players experience of their game and allows them to tailor the game to hw they would like it.
Frontier selling these is in my opinion not putting things behind a paywall but raising capital which will be reinvested in the game,
Frontier remember is a business with employees who would like to get paid at the end of each month.

When not having a paint job stops you from flying the ship, then you will have a point.
Right now, you don't.

My view is that it could be a lot worse - at least its restricted to cosmetic stuff.
I will admit though that I'd of liked Frontier to provide a couple of skins for each ship free so new players or players with less free cash to spend could at least have a small bit of variety but fully understand that Frontier are patching the game regularly and could of even had the Beyond as a chargeable expansion so they have running costs and they arn't charging us a subscription to play the game.
To put it into prospective I paid £20 for the game in the December 2015 Steam sales - if I hadn't bought a few skins thats all Frontier would of got but provided me with over 2 years of updates and had the costs of running the servers (I'd imagine that at full price it would of only cost £60 total).

C'mon you're sort of stretching this to breaking point here, there is plenty of customisation in game and having a different voice/ ship skin in a game is in no way essential content.
If it gave you a tactical advantage or increased your ability to explore/trade etc then yes I'd agree with you but essential? no, not in any way whatsoever.

You could request a Coutts/T.J voicepack but it would end up being unbelievably foulmouthed and obscene.......
I'd like to hear open comms chatter when system security drops in to dispose of undesirables, be it me or npcs baddies. Honestly more voice chatter like that you get around stations would go a long way to make our universe feel a bit more lived in.
"Incomprehensible angry Glaswegian voice pack available in-store now!"
I absolutely approve voice packs being sold as cosmetics in the Frontier Store.
Ongoing development and maintenance costs money- this game isn't subscription based (although I would pay one, if it were) so the money has to come from somewhere.
People already buy voice packs separately as third party products, so I see no reason why they should have issue with it in ED itself.

If you expect others to admit when they are wrong, then .....

Oh, the humanity!
I never wait on anyone's apology. A forced apology is rarely sincere.
It's the responsibility of one to learn the valuable lesson which comes with the expression of an apology- if no lesson has been learned, then it's not sincere to begin with.
I'm afraid they can't do that Dave.
Add me to teamspeak and i'll do it for free.
How do you work that out? Its their game LOL !!
