Elite Dangerous: Immersion for Fleet Carriers! 

I was thinking the same... I hope he applies himself to making something every now and then, I like his approach!

Thank you so much!!! That means a lot to hear. Trying to get the next one in this series out, but ugh real life is always in the way.

Thanks for this, fantastic spotlight video.I have been an avid fan and user of edcopilot for over a year. The customization options are simply amazing. You haven’t even scratched the surface on its features, and suggest everyone that sees this video, does a search for similar content. Edcopilot is also free, the author/ programmer ( Cmdr Razzafrag ) relies solely on donations and contributions. The only other thing you will need is a full voice attack account ( not demo)

The major problem with providing a general modding API is that by neccessity you are loading non-ED code into the same process as ED code, and it is not impossible for someone to write a mod which tracks calls etc and works out how to give an unfair advantage - (for example buffing weapons etc). I like the fact that the journal files present a tightly controlled and very restricted API and-allow only very limited customization (for instance as demonstrated here). It would be nice if customisers such as ED-Co-Pilot could disable some of the inbuilt announcements - but doing that without exposing more of the code would be tough.

@@anthonyflury3979 A lot of the announcements can be toggled in settings. I ONLY use the journals, and the exposed json files (status, market, backpack). No insidious peaking into memory going on.

​@@anthonyflury3979 if the game didn't have PvP, it literally wouldn't matter. Unfortunately, it does :\

I'm really impressed with the quality of this video, and love his enthusiasm for the topic (and the kind words for EDCoPilot!). Awesome job!

Wow TY. BUt, did you actually watch the video or just leave the comment. lolol Either way, thanks!

OMGosh YES! I recently started with ExoBio and I cant imagine doing it without it! It's great to not have to guess how far to go.

​@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccessWell, for me it is part of the game to estimate right distance.... and it is very easy..... You want to estimate 500m distance??? Go straight up by 500m and point down by 45°. Your ship points to the border of 500m... Just go there.... Any adjustments to the terrain are easy by just go a little bit beyond. Been doing that so often, I have it in my muscle mem and dont need to go up any more. Ah second trick.... Make a test with a settlement for measuring the time you need to travel 500m with a predefined/reproducible process. You need the station as a fixpoint/finish line only.... Example for me.... Select settlement.... go dist of 500m..... 180° turn.... put ship in exobio config (4pips sys, 2 pips eng, gear down).... make a nice countdown and.... press 100% throttle button and start button on your phone's stop watch..... stop and watch until the.compass' ball turns from solid to hollow and press stop on your timer.... note down that time..... throw away that piece of paper and have a beer. Cheers 🍻😂🥸😎🤘

I agree. I was hoping someone would notice all the other pop-culture references in this video too, but so far none yet. lol

The Expanse comes pretty close.

Babylon 5 is the best show imho..

BSG is amazing!

Ha, love the HC name!

Ok let me respond in order :-) Me TOO!! Even in a game like Watchdogs I do that. I can't help it. Send help. Hmm, I see your point. It does kinda. Ikr. I have dialogue in there that mentions loving their job lol. Be sure to join the Discord if you haven't already. I've been busy with real life atm but I'd be more than happy to help you soon. And yeah, I know, her Spanish accent is thicccc. But I love it. Fun fact, I wasn't planning on featuring the Co-Pilot yet, thats for a future video, and I wasn't expecting her to say anything for what I was doing in those scenes, but I forgot the she does her job well lol.

Thats very kind of you to say. I appreciate it!!!!!!!

I see we speak the same language.

Yeah, I learned that the hard way no long ago hahaha. Playing around and got one shotted into oblivion.

Mass effect vibes

lol COMMUNITY/department head breakfast. lol

I hope you do, this is amazing. It does waaaayy more than I showed.

Thank so much!! I can't wait to finish the next one. It's in progress but...real life ugh.

Thank you. I'm a nut for sure haha

TY! Yes it's amazing. I'm never going back!

Ugh, don't tell me about sticks. Part of the reason I land the way that I do is bc of my T160000M. Ugh

​@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccessyup! T16000m's twin sticks. With 3 android pads. Was thinking about adding head tracking.

@@gkeaton9755 Sounds like yours works normally. Mine, Not so much 😩

I'll respond in order :-) There are options to increase and decrease the distortion and the radio beeps. Oh, there is space chatter and it is AMAZING. I haven't even gotten to that part yet. That will be in the video AFTER the next video. trust me, it's awesome!! Not sure what you mean, but you can create dialogue that can simulate what I 'think' you mean... I agree but, it's where we are with ED. But now, with EDCP Idc about that anymore lol. Yeah, I get it. I like the differences bc to me it represent 'people' from all parts of the bubble that may sound completely different. But you don't have to have 2 controllers. I'm just overboard like that lol.

The pronunciation oddities are mainly because OP uses non-English language voices for his characters, and they are trying to pronounce using their native language rules. English voices are much clearer and easier to understand.

Cool cool. The only thing with those would be the limitation of only having pre-recorded lines from the actors, nothing new (unless they bring them back in to record more and pay them more). Which is fine. But with this the sky is the limit. But as long as you're happy thats all that matters! :-)

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess They have a service called Ad Astra that uses digital voice to get more lines. It can be pretty in depth

TYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Thanks! I don't think you'll regret it. I love it!!

There are SO many settings, but there are settings for Limpets and Fighter Crew reminders you can easilly turn on and off. I spend most of my time doing coding and support, so dont really have bandwidth to do an Install video. I saw one in Italian last week though! If someone wants to make one, I'd be happy with that

Agree. Be sure to check my 3rd video in this series....wooooo. EDCP makes it more fun! 😄

Thank you!! Have the next few planned out, and working on pt2 now. Between real life and this storm, it's slowing me down unfortunately.

``insert Star Wars gif here``--> 'Do it!'

In game? Only by callsign or first 3 letters of name I believe....

@@EDCoPilot never activated it so idk

Now might be a good time. They're adding a lot.

I used to use that app, then decided (and i had users request it) to add my own spin on it.

@@EDCoPilot sweet.

You guys are speaking a different language lol.

Ikr, but I'm just a user and a super fan and a nerd. :-D

It's a little 'interesting' the first time you make the changes, but once you learn it's a breeze. Join the Discord and look in the Tips and Tricks section.

Well, aside from the market, not too much more I suppose. It's a great mobile base tho, and with your imagination the sky is the limit. 😉

TYYY! I'm glad. Be sure to join the Discord to get all the support, tips, and tricks from the creator and everyone else. Look for me on there R3dmanActual

It is pretty interesting.

Was thinking about that later. BUt in the meantime, join the discord. Tips and Tricks section has step by step instructions. Look for me there.

Hmm, well, you can set specific voices for specific stations (showing that in my 3rd video coming soon), so you could literally set THEIR FC voice in your edcp, so when you visit it's the same, soooo kinda close to what you're saying I think.

Your comment is timely! I have JUST published a version for my Beta Test team to kick the tires on, that will do JUST THAT for carriers owned by other EDCoPilot Commanders, where the FC owner can also grant other Commanders VIP access. Greetings will change based on if you are : VIP, In wing with the FC owner, in same squadron as the FC owner, same faction, or if they have allowed just a "standard" greeting for any other schmo landing.

YES! There are options for speed and pitch.

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess nice thnx 🙏

Haha, I know, this is more in my wheelhouse. But it's designed to work alongside VA and will respond to commands.

🤔 If I understand your question, you can turn off 'space chatter'. I 'think' FC Greetings are a separate option, so i'd like to say....yes(?)

Nows a good time. They are making a lot of changes!

YES!!!! I was hoping someone would know that one! TY!!!

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess I loved that story. Sarah Kinney is badass scientist. I am hoping for a movie adaptation of the origins of Laura Kinney. Logan game me hope 😂

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess But did you know that the Kinney surname came from the movie Multiplicity, because she's a clone (nerd alert!)

@@Dacogent Yes, she is def one of my fave female characters. She kicks butt!

@@tonybarrett8298 Whaaat Is that for real? Thats funny. I did not know that. 😄

Hmmm, I'm not familiar with that one, but this one I can confirm does anything I need it to so far. :-)

A few users user both at the same time...... "out of the box" they will conflict on announcements. You will have to switch some off in EDDI and some off in EDCoPilot, depending on your preference.

Your ship has a voice too. PLus you can have voices for as many 'crew' on your ship that you want. Stattion also have voices...covering that in video 3. :-)

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess cheers can you change the voice of your captain on your fleet carrier

Whats great about this is that you can create your own dialogue for any of them to say. But it works alongside what you're using too.

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess facts i found that out yesterday when i added i got it because i saw your video i have 8 voice packs aboard along with this thanks for sharing

NICE! That name is a mixture of BSG and STVoy. A salute to my all-time fave Star Trek character. The full name of my FC is Basestar Queen Seven of Nine.

@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess need a video for the custom voice lines, this really makes a difference

LOLOL thats funny. Interesting observation, although would Ukrainian be considered 'exotic'? Idk. I def prefer female voices for most things. But in real life I am outnumbered in my house 4-1, so I guess it's a part of my dna now lol

Links in the description to help you.

NICE! I've never heard of that. But I like it. Thx!

I love that name!!

PREACH!!

Interesting perspective. BUt kind of like real life tho, we're all the stars of our own show and everyone else are the side characters...? Wait now I'm cross-eyed.

Yes you can control both the speed and the pitch. The native English voices are also easier to understand.

@@EDCoPilot I'm probably jumping to high here, but is it possible to use an audio file of a specific voice and have the AI mimic it? Because if so it'd be kinda cool to have someone like Cortana from halo or Otocon from MGS

You can have your voices work through sites like 11 labs, so, theoretically yes. :-D

TYYYYYYY!! Yes, this will be a series. I've got another in the works but real life is taking all my time ugh.

Join the Discord. Look in the Tips and Tricks section. Also, I don't mind helping you. I'll be available soon over there.

See the blog section on the app's website. Has a how-to article.

There are options to turn most things off, so you can only hear the things you want to. EDCP has covered all play styles, it's crazy. 😁

Haha I love it! Great name.....We're NOT mortal enemies tho I hope. ;-)

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess no. not yet o7

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess by the way. Great upload looking forwards to more . o7

@@CMDRPDAVG Hmm, well I'm gonna go with 'no, never'. 😅 o7

@@CMDRPDAVG Thank you!!!!!!! Hopefully next week I'll have time to get the next done and out. Hopefully sooner but...

Nope. Hmmm, join the Discord and go to 'Known issues' first. Then maybe hit 'support questions'. The creator is always around helping us out.

Run the History Refresh so it learns all your activities and ships etc from previous game journals .... Management Tab -> History Refresh button

@@EDCoPilot Thank you for your prompt reply. I followed your instructions, unfortunately my Carrier still doesn't recognize me or that the Carrier is mine. Also there is no reference to Carriers in the settings menu. Am I missing something simple? Other than that I'm really enjoying the program and the humour.

@@AndyB254 Click on the Settings icon at top second right, then will open Settings, then click the grey button at top that says "Basic Settings (click the grey button at top to access the other Settings sections)" ... you will then get a drop down list of all the settings pages available. Click on "Space Chatter - Main Settings" and on that page make sure "Space Chatter on/off" is set to ON and that "Station Chatter Fleet Carrier greetings on/off" is also set to ON.

@@EDCoPilot Thank you, everything is working ok now. Thank you for all your help and patience.

Don't forget you don't have to grind. It's when you want to advance really fast that it gets the most grindy imho.

That is currently being "rebalanced" by the developers. They are making it easier to gather the materials you need for the main engineering tasks for your ship, suit and weapons.

Hmm, i've never tried VR so that would def be a bummer. But hey EDCP is 100% free.

TY!! That means a lot!

Hmm, I guess if ED does then this might. Thats a good question for the creater CMDR razzafrag. I would send him a message on his site.

No sorry. Others have tried. It doesnt play well.

I think so, the creator has added lots of support for other languages. Join the discord to learn more (if you want).

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess Thank you, I'll check 🙂

If you have DeepL or Google Translate accounts set up (and there are free monthly quotas for both), then there are options to translate all the Ship AI and all the Space Chatter into your chosen language. It will also select the correct voice for the language needed, so if you translate into Italian for example it will speak the translated phrase using an Italian voice, so that it pronounces properly. However if no translation, it will pronounce the ship names using the English voices, which may mis-pronounce it. There are ways to force it to pronounce words differently though, if that happens.

Space yes. But if there are other people and machinery around, maybe not so much (to me).

Haha well, I can't say I've experienced that with the base game of ED :-(

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess probably depends on what flight control voice you've selected (bought) for carrier. Can't confirm, I have only one (besides standard) and she welcoming my return. Base game though..

@@JosephCarven Right, I have Yumi & Madeline, but they're just as generic as ever unfortunately.

Yeah, some do, some don't. BUT, I love that we're not dependent on pre-recorded lines which is very limiting. (and I say that as a voice artist myself).

Ikr!? But at least now (for me), I can let it go bc I have my needs fulfilled. So idc what Fdev does lol

There is an article on the Developers Blog on the application web page

doesnt need voice attack

hey tony is correct. It;s made to work well WITH Voice Attack, but it's not needed. I don't have va and have never used it. Join the discord and you'll get plenty of assistance with whatever questions you have.

I promise, not so much in the next one. Gotta set it all up first, you know. ;-)

@@SonicEmbassyRandomAccess I like your talkativity :D. You were explaining things. For that, you need to talk. Just be yourself.

@@andreasplosky8516 Appreciate that!!🙏

I obv disagree but I hope you find what you're looking for...maybe a hug or something.

I started feeling burnt out too. EDCoPilot LITERALLY changed the game for me. :-)
