Which is best HCS Encyclopedia?

[Nomadski]

These HCS voice packs got my interest with a few of them having "encyclopaedias" which I presume, and please correct me if I'm mistaken here, tell me stuff about things I lock on to like suns etc.

I'm not really bothered about celebrity voices, nor any plot or nonsense with them, I am just interested in which one has the most comprehensive space knowledge for me to use in the game.

Any have any insight into which one that would be, and how exactly it works?

I was under the impression all the HCS encyclopaedias are the same. Anyway, I went with the original A.S.T.R.A. I also programme Ivona Amy to provide additional info, some great stuff to listen to on long supercruise trips.

Very easy to build your own onboard encyclopaedia, my ships computer database has been growing steadily over the last few years.

I too think they are all have the same encyclopaedia - I am currently wondering why I never bought one of these before now - I have always had a thing for Norwegian ladies' accents and Eden just makes E D so much more .. ... well .... more!

(All I need now is windoze speech recognition to get a Scottish accent update! )

How would you go about doing that? Building your own encyclopaedia?

Are you familiar with using voice attack? You can cut and paste any text and place it into a command, you can also get more complex and make it interactive, or categorise subjects.

So on the most basic level - I ask the computer 'What is an Alcubierre drive' The computer will answer with whatever text has been pasted into the command, it can also read back text from multiple sources, can give the illusion that you are interacting with an intelligent AI. Take seconds to create a command and paste the text, becomes very addictive.

Best to download the voice attack manual and experiment, amazing piece of software, you can get very creative, your mind is the only limit.
