Best voicepack for ELITE
Hi, everyone!

I've decided to take out my VoiceAttack software. I've lost my personal configuration, so I've decided to save myself some time and, as a bonus, get something resembling an AI aboard my ship.

I'm looking into HCS Voicepacks, looks like some of the descriptions are somewhat dated.

I want the best one with access to encyclopedia, when I need it.

Any tips?

After a bit of tinkering my initial impression is good, I will have to play a bit with it and see what kind of macro she's capable of doing.

My other option was Astra just because of the variety and amount of informations she has

I remember asking the same question 2 years ago and getting 0 answers =)

I thought basically everyone would use voicepacks by now

I just made a few simple voice responses and programmed commands that I use, nothing fancy like a voice pack. :)

Yeah, that's what I've been using aforementioned two years ago =)

But all of the tweaks and settings got lost in time.

But I think it's finally to cough up some credits and get a voicepack. Especially since they are on sale right now.

It's really impressive how much work is put into these.
Besides, you gotta love some William Shatner and Brent Spiner voices. Or Michael Dorn and John De Lancie.

Still unsure though, I'm probably going to go with Astra.

I'm just wondering how much of that is up-to-date and how extensive the library is. Can't find enough info anywhere.

I see they are also working on Ad-Astra, which is going to be available somewhere late 2020.

But I have no idea whether I should wait for it, or it is just something that goes along with ASTRA.

Questions, questions

What about free voicepacks? Are there any?
I mean, good ones, that is

Astra and eli aren't bad, eli can get a bit grumpy at times and hurls a bit of abuse your way every now and then quite funny. Keep an eye on prices as they have a sale every now and then and can be picked up for a few quid

So Astra does have more lines to her?

She doesn't need a voice actor so it's the easiest to update and usually the first one to do so.
Others (like verity) receive the same updates but it may take more time

I ended up purchasing ASTRA.
HCS Voicepacks Support claims that they are working on every pack to have the same amount of content, but I really like the fact that ASTRA is the most cutting-edge, because they are using a synthesizer instead of a real voice actor.

Although I am very much looking forward to maybe getting Brent Spiner and Idun Vik.
But most likely I'll end up buying ad-Astra (upon full release), even though it's a year-long subscription - all of the features are really intriguing.
If the game manages to keep me sucked in that long, hopefully.

The price is a bit steep, but I think it's worth it.
A sort of an "ship AI" experience is so classic.

Going to give it a whirl this weekend.

Cool ! Keep me updated if you manage to make it do some "cool" things, I'm finding out it requires more tinkering than I'd expected
