Yep, that happens. I now am at the point with her that I forget that she needs to hear the exact command to get her to do the things I want. If I don't use the proper phrase, I start getting flustered and resort to Calling Her name over and over to see if she is responding, then realizing I have to say "Request Docking" or "Docking Request" and not "Find me a place to park".

LOL

you do know you can teach her to actually request docking when you ask for a place to park right? You can actually make her request docking by telling her to go to the kitchen and make you a sandwich if you want :D

For example, saying "Target highest threat" most of the times didn't make her do anything even though I pronounce it quite clearly. So I switched it to "Watch my ass!"

Works every time 8-)

Yeah voice attack is quite good. But as any voice recognition software for me it's quite hinky.
I mostly only use it for setting pip macros, like splitting pips between sys/eng or wep/eng I call them defensive and offensive (I noticed manoeuvrability get more responsive with a few pips in eng, not just top speed) I also have basic throttle control (full, 75, 50 and of course 0) this is pretty much only used in cruise while trading as etc.

I also set up macros to replace some kb work like I open galmap selects the search field I just say paste if sys is in clipboard or when running a loop route , say waypoint one or two and a macro types out the system name so won have to reach for kb while trading.

I don't rely on it during combat though but with the CH HOTAS I have more buttons on the stick and throttle than I honestly need, only use va for when I put my feet up and lean back with the coffee or whatever. true convenience ☺

For now still on the trial, but seems to be worth the money.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Yeah I have changed mine around quite a bit since Arflint released V3. Its so changed that if he put an update out I would have to completely relearn everything I know and love about KICS :)

I did the radio stations for him (which need a total revamp btw), but he is busy playing witcher 3 and I think has lost some interest in it. I am still in touch and I know he wants to do a complete redo of all the vocals.

Annubis is awesome, but again a situation where I think someone lost interest in the game. Sad Really, we could use more like this.

My last promotion was a double one: Deadly and Surveyor the same day.

I'd say I beat that today, when I became at the same exact time Trailblazer and Petty Officer. :)

Just outfitted my DB Explorer at Diaguandri / Ray and managed to get 32.99 ly jumps out of her. I am hoping to not hit the wall at 963ly out.
