Elite: Dangerous. I broke down.

I've never been interested in giving the speech thing a try - being Scottish, I would expect a high failure rate!  :D

Too funny:). It would be interesting to see how well it does with various types of speech, although I suspect if you use the speech trainer that comes with windows enough, it would figure things out eventually.

Just another toy to play with, I'll see how I can put it to use in other games for the fun of it.  Although my family does look at me strangely as I talk to my computer screen:). Combine my headphones with my trackir hat with the tracking device, I must be a strange sight to look at playing a video game:)

grim you have been the most successful person to deter from this game - its cool to read of your full day exploits setting up stick and everything else

i currently use Logitech keyboard and Logitech mouse non HOTAS set up, and if what the game needs is what youve gone through, ill watch from the sidelines!

Nah, doesn't require all that...lot of people playing with keyboard, mouse, and xbox controllers...just has options for a lot of other stuff to mess around with if you desire.  So far have really only spent less than a total day messing around,but I could have easily jumped right in with the preset profiles that come with the game.  I just like to mess around:)

LOL - you made my day with that, JD

Mind you, it would be great to have one that when you destroy a target says 'Stitch that, Jimmy!'

lol

Wow, thanks for the voice command info.  This takes it to a whole new level of awesome. 

[SirAndrewD]

Well, the voice commands were nice, but they didn't save me from getting ganked off a hyperspace point.  I hope that guy that killed me enjoys my cargo of looted clothing.

was it Prada or Armani?

Having read the New Yorker article and the game manual that Grim Reaper posted - thanks for that, it was really informative - my only question is whether that amazing model of the Milky Way is available for single player or it is just for multiplayer? With 400,000 million star systems in the simulation database, I can see my 1 Terabyte hard disk becoming very small all of a sudden. But maybe he's doing some of his magic (Elite 2 was a HUGE game, and it fitted in a couple 720 KBytes disks, if I recall correctly).
