- High quality - offers sound quality which is considerably higher than other IP-based communication applications
- Player to player direct chat - with talk indicator to show which player is speaking
- Group chat - allowing corporation, fleet, or alliance members to communicate one-to-many within a dedicated audio channel
- Sub-group chat - allowing smaller groups within a corporation, such as a squad or gang, to discuss specific topics among themselves
- Group leader talk - instantly mutes other players on the group's audio channel ensuring the leader's instructions can be heard clearly during crucial times, such as in the heat of battle
- Map integration - shows where players are when speaking, allowing better coordination of tactical assaults, reconnaissance or search and rescue missions
- Moderator controls - allows leaders to kick other players off the audio channel (in case of abuse, for instance), to mute them (so they can hear but not be heard), ban (prevent them from accessing the audio channel) and un-ban players
While CCP says that it will allow “better coordination, negotiation, socializing and planning”, I think that it might kill the role-playing element in the game a bit; realizing that your arch enemy in-game has the voice of a 12 year old would be a bit of a let down. But then again not too many kids play Eve Online, so it’s all good.
