Eve Online TeamSpeak® Integration

I'm so excited to see Twitch integration, not because I use Twitch but because CCP is thinking outside the box once again. While they are "reaching for those stars" I propose another 3rd party integration.

TeamSpeak as an option for Eve chat client.

Ideas always sounds simpler than implementation, but the high level would be:

"A feature to enable integration with a preinstalled TeamSpeak client as the focus of eve chat, whereby one or multiple clients use one instance of chat from the game itself - not at the exclusion of eve chat, but to use both simultaneously."

I've had this idea in the past, however with the introduction of Dust I find it difficult for voice communication between pilots and mercs. 90% or more eve pilots use a third party VoIP client. I'd say TeamSpeak is the most popular (not hating on, just observing). Communicating between these two platforms is cumbersome in either direction: Dust players enjoy quick access to voice commands from their chosen tactile device, and Eve pilots have easy access to the more reliable and efficient 3rd party chat - exponentially with multiple clients. The two chat options would seem mutually exclusive.

If Eve chat and TeamSpeak coexisted - that is, Dust bunnies (on eve chat) and Eve Pods (on TeamSpeak/Eve Chat) - this would improve the immersion of Dust into the Eve universe AND will provide seemingly exclusive benefits for Eve pilots actually being able to organize voice in fleet structure from within game (whilst using other clients).

Thanks!

a drawback i found was there was no 1650x1080, it ended the stream when you tabbed out to check the twitch page to see if any one said anything (in all modes, fixed, windowed and full).

and i wonder about how it will work with that new law about not being able to record other people with out explicit permission and stuff like that.
