Uodate with names...

Cutter for mining - Tiffany Aching
Vette for the bang bangs - War B*stard
Conda because reasons - Daisy Steiner
Phantom for exploration - Sookie Stardust
Python for medium haulage - Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan
T9 for big haulage - Five Dollar Shake
DBX for dangerous landings - Rameses Niblick III
iEagle for the need for speed - Screaming Dr Berserk
FdL for small skirmishes - Angua Von Uberwald
Vulture for tiny skirmishes - Mr. Bojangles
Cobra for FSW scans and HGEs - Barry The Baptist

There are various influences there as well as there are for my other ships... such as "Incontinentia Buttocks", "Trillian" and "Queeg".

Spotted the Red Dwarf influence - as an aside: Does anyone know if the "Leo" voice, available in the Livery options, is actually Norman Lovett or is it someone that sounds a lot like him?

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Pretty sure it's Lovett. Should be in the credits somewhere.

It is indeed, bless his little interface leads.

It is and Cleo is Hattie Hayridge , the other "Holly".

One reason to really work on your voice recognition in windows - making sure that it can differentiate between Cleo and Leo if you have both packs. {... and why wouldn't you?}.

 

[OldManKnott]

I'm easily pleased, so only need the following:

Krait Mk II with a ridiculously long range for exploring and a vehicle hangar for landing on interesting bodies.
Federal Corvette for mining and a quick swap of modules for when it kicks off.
Beluga Liner for the cockpit views alone.
Sidewinder Mk1 because you just have to don't you.

 

[Dragsham]

Cobra mklll.
Cos you have to... best flyer/eater of npcs.
And a FAS. Because properly built it turns & pew and flips & pew.
Rails!!!!!!
Turns these ships into nasty.

Cleo? I'm not seeing that COVAS as an option... was it a "special" of some kind?

No - mea culpa, I was referring to the HCS Voicepacks. Cleo and Leo are available there, as are all the purchasable COVAS (except Jefferson I think) plus of course Verity.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Phew, thought I was missing one!
