Well, I don't think it would really help all that much tbh. There's still combat, and even if you play as a trader, you may still be shot at, so you'd have to run. Then to play the game, you're gonna need a HOTAS setup, or what's the point. Elite:dangerous is a game you really want to fully immerse yourself in, or what's the point. SO you get all that stuff just to find out that the Alexa thing can help with some things, but then lacking in others. Now, voice attack is under $10 last I checked and people have made profiles for that, but yeah its not enough. The game is just simply too visual.

Hey yeah, its a start! Although I do feel mostly the same as 2 when it comes to console games for the most part, hence why i won't play gta or most things I can't finish solo because just running around the map making trouble without a good reason is boring to me, the fact that the existance of this skill opens opportunities for experimentation and progress is undeniable and exciting! Never heard of another game that did this before so who knows, maybe soon. Anyone brave enough to try this?

Wait, there's an Elite Dangerous API? Hmm... Looks like alot of the third party API's and tools are located [here] and [here], it seems that players are tapping into a rather verbose Player Journal log file the game streams out to a JSON file when logging events, the log output types with descriptions are listed [here], though may be a bit out of date. Some of them even include TTS for NPC and player chat.

Looks like the Player Journal covers things like docking, location, supercruise states, landings, damage, shield state, interdiction states, detailed scan data, and a host of other functions. Hm, the location data is event specific to startup or take off though, not much on orientation or current state data like nearby ships, current status, etc. Lets see here...

Seems the more up to date 3.0 Player Journal documentation can be found in [this] thread, direct links [here] and [here]. Looks like players regularly make requests for changes to the journal to get more feedback from the game, asking they post requested features in the bug or suggestion sections of the Elite Dangerous forums, such as [here].

Edit: According to the newer documentation there seems to be a few functions added that could be useful, like ModuleInfo which shows what modules are installed and what the power distribution currently is. There's also apparently a new logfile called Status.json that regularly updates with the ships current state, including altitude, latitude, longitude, and heading.

Oh man! this is completely awesome. I'll bet you since we can deploy and retract our landing gear, we probably can even dock with planets and stations as well. Oh man, now all he needs to do is to figure out how to let us do things planet side when we're docked like buying and selling goods and so on, and we would be good to go. Man, this is so cool. Now if they'd just figure out something similar for something like eve online.
