Kinect voice commands would be spectacular but I suspect I'd disable head tracking -- Looking left or right to perform a function only seems natural with VR or wrap-around monitors in a cockpit simulator. Hell yes to Cortana though! Spaceships are sort of her gig, after all... I would love to use voice commands for module functions or to fire secondary fire group stuff like chaff without switching from my guns. Integration with the galaxy map would be welcome!
Do you want voice commands in the game?

I felt like that before I tried any headtracking on the PC version.
I didn't realise it amplifies your head movement, so you don't turn 90° for the camera to turn 90°, so your still looking forward at the screen. Slight turn of the head and eyes turns into a much bigger turn on screen.
Felt utterly weird at first, now it's totally second nature and a serious godsend in combat.

Interesting! I guess that is faster than any of the button mashing options. I think one word voice commands could achieve the same thing, though. Like "comms" or even "left, right." I would love to have all of those options so people could choose by preference
Seconded - I would not play ED on the PC without my Track-IR - really improves immersion. If Kinect could provide head tracking and Voice-Attack like functionality then I would consider it - as long as the newer Kinects can cope with a projector beaming at it!
I wouldn't want Cortana or her hologram in the ship, that would be too halo like for my tastes. But having voice commands and replys from something like the midnight pack with voice customisation would be epic.
WOW.
Saw some guy playing ED with a voice attack software setup that made his ship AI sound like GlaDOS from "Portal". Personally I'd be ecstatic with any voice recognition/command feature for the X1 version, but it'd have to be compatible with Oculus (which I'd buy just for the visual aspect) or even just the stock X1 headset. I'd be hesitant to buy a Kinect even with this perk.
Not trying to get OT, but why? Voice commands for Kinect are awesome. I honestly don't know how I could live without them.
I can imagine getting just as hooked on E
voice commands.
The more they can add the better great idea hope the devs take notice
that was the first thing that popped in my head too lol and yes we definitely need voice commands would help out for all my... bounty hunting need... yea thats it bounty hunting
