    I thought it was claimed that if you bought into the whole overpriced "season/expansion" that all content was included until the next "season/expansion"

    If you dont buy the voice pack do you have a mute game(no VO at all), or do you have a game where the janitor recorded some VO for a beer?

    Im OK with the latter. EDIT: i guess Orion is a character. I thought it was VO in general in the game. Fine by me

    Voice packs are a product of 3rd party company hcsvoicepacks.com. They are not to be found in any Frontier Development site or store.


    The links are all messed up:
    1) link to comments leads to WarThunder discussion
    2) link to ED links to hcsvoicepakcs.com store

    Horribly errorneous article.

    The link to the War Thunder discussion is an issue with the main site and the forum transfer, not an error on my part. I have reported this to the back end folks.

    The second part, I have clarified the purchase link with the company name. Appreciate that.

    ...sorry for nitpicking but:


    Those who preorder the Orion voice pack will be entered into a special prize drawing that includes signed photos of William Shatner taken during his work for Frontier;


    What kind of work Shatner did for Frontier? It also seems messed up.

    The quote from hcsvoicepacks:
    "Signed photos from William Shatner that were kindly provided during the production of Orion. In addition to that we have signed exclusive pieces of fine artwork from the Frontier development team and a signed book, William Shatner's "Leonard". "

    FD are not selling voice packs. This is a 3rd party mod from HCS which also needs you to have voice attack.

    Seems obvious, but wouldn't it be pictures of him in the studio recording the Voice overs?

    Signed pics of him doing voice overs for orion and signed pics of frontier artwork, its three different things. They got exclusive artwork from frontier and had him sign it. They also include a signed book from from shatner, aswell as signed pics of him when doing voice overs for hcs orion which is made for use with the game ED by frontier.

    What's hard to understand?

    Voice controls sound great. I might pick up some voice packs one of these days. I do miss Majel Barrett as the ship's computer, RIP.

    I love Shatner but his voice seemed out of place here. It seems like it's the voice of the computer in your ship?

    A more suitable star-trek releated voice would have been the computer voice from next generation or Data, imo.

    It is difficult to understand how people have such a hard time with reading comprehension of simple text....

    There are several voice packs available. I wish MMORPG.com would review them all. I'm not entirely sure what the differences are - even though they have descriptions on the website.

    For example, which of them have the Galaxypaedia? Is it just one, or do they all have it?

    I'm interested in Tom Baker's voice pack, but does that one have a Galaxypaedia?
