Voice Commands

[I Love Teh Ponies!]

Hi, PC, Vive VR using Vive contollers. Feeling a bit of an idiot here. I've got the voice commands turned on in the settings, the mic is registering all as good. How the heck do I use voice commands ?? I have played the tutorial and the first solo mission and can only use the Order buttons - I tried saying things like 'Scan Target' , 'Track Target' etc. and apart from me looking like a nub , nothing happened. Went back to using the order button. Am I missing something ? A trigger word or a button press ?

Hold down the 'Orders' button, you'll see Watson activate infront of you, inbetween Helm and Tactical on the Aegis; right underneath the view screen on the Enterprise. You say your command, then release the button. Depending on ten thousand different variables, including how clearly you speak, you'll see Watson attempting to translate your Shatner impression into real words the AI understands.

So, lets say you want to scan an anomaly. You can select the target on your local map, tell Rao -
by holding the orders button down - to 'approach target' or simpy 'approach', then release the button after you have spoken.When you're within 30km, tell Hoyle to 'scan target' or 'scan'.

Alternatively you can issue ship-wide commands, and select said anomaly and say "Analyze Target" or "Analyze" - this'll have Rao plot the most direct course to the target, T'Nar will give maximum power to engines, and Hoyle will scan the second the target is in range.

There is surprising number of commands the AI crew can understand and perform.

Has this been fixed or is it still broken/disabled?

Voice commands are working in-game.

Is there a hotkey or what? Does it work in multiplayer?

It works in solo and multiplayer, yes. The button you use is dependant on what imput you're using; Oculus Touch, Vive Wand, PSVR Wand, PS4/XBOX1 controller, keyboard etc.

You hold down the A button, for an Oculus Touch, for example, say the command, release the button.
