Question about the Covas voices

[Oktusha]

I was thinking about getting a voice pack and I wanted to ask... Does it do anything besides change the voice that says you are jumping or your landing gear is down? I know there is voice attack and the those voice packs. However I do not own the software... I tried eddi which told you all kinds of information when you jumped into a system. Does the covas voice pack do that as well?

It only changes the voice.

I know this sounds kind of harsh, but are you telling me to buy voice attack with hcs packs instead? lol... Sorry FD, I needed more...

They are cooperating on creating the Covas voices so it would be odd if FD made the voice packs obsolete. Only Covas is mandatory on ships .

How would it be odd at all? It is their game after all... lol... All of the information to make it happen is in game already, well I would guess it is or the others couldn't work either. It's not a huge deal, I was simply trying to find answers as I didn't own any of them and wanted a bit more "experience" while in my ship. I think I might just take the plunge and buy the voice attack with the voice.

It would be odd since HCS has access to the voice actors and done a lot of work already, if FD says "thanks, now go away. Only we are making money now", it would be rather unfriendly to put it mildly.

The HCS/VA is an extra level of automation. Doesn't it make sense for it to use the same voice(s) as the base COVAS?

Think of COVAS as ShipOS Home, and HCS/VA as an upgrade to ShipOS Pro.
