Somehow sneaked into the top rated ED videos on Steam with my home cockpit 🎉

Wild but apparently my home cockpit somehow quietly sneaked to the top of Elite Dangerous videos on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/359320/videos/?p=1&browsefilter=toprated

Got a reward in my inbox today and wondered wth, been years that I uploaded this. Guess that explains it 🤓

Congratulations! That’s pretty rad! I only played on console and had to shelve it since my partner got super tired of hearing “friendship drive charging” a billion times.

Last time I was at a shipyard I changed the ship language to French just to try.

Now I’m 3500 LY away from the closest shipyard and I dearly miss the "frame shift drive charging" voice :/

Can't you just switch it from the main menu where you can also change your current ship's skin?

I just checked and yes in the livery packs are also the voices.

Thanks, I’m back to default Verity voice now

Having to visit a dealer to change the voice of the ship computer firmware is the realest thing ever xD

I'm a lucky son - my partner plays too :D

Gotta ask tho, because I really have no idea, do consoles not support headphones??

Chef_Boyargee@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 186d

They do/did. We just happened to have a good surround sound setup and I often opted for using it. The proverbial straw was my trip to the center of the galaxy and back. My ears could take headphones for only so long before I had to go back to the speakers for a bit

@Chef_Boyargee You can turn off the voice announcements. i had to for quite a few of the more minor and routine ones.

Wow, that's some dedication to the craft right there. Elite is my favorite game of all time, I have an embarrassing amount of hours in the game, but alas, just a lowly VKB/STECS... although a considerable upgrade from my previous Thrustmaster T-Flight. :D
