A community developer on the r/EliteDangerous subreddit is building a custom TARS copilot inspired by COVAS:NEXT, designed to assist commanders during exploration. This AI companion uses TARS's iconic voice and a unique avatar to provide contextual updates on discoveries, route progress, expedition history, and station information. It processes journal events quietly, speaking only when significant data arises, such as unusual worlds or exploration priorities. This tool aims to deepen immersion and situational awareness, showcasing community innovation that could shape future in-game assistants.
