EVE New Citizens Q&A

To be honest I think most people are using out-of-game comms such as Mumble and TeamSpeak. Also, I would recommend getting a headset since the voice quality will be much better.

As for the in-game voice thing, IIRC you can right-click most of your chat channels and activate EVE voice in there but I think channels like local (and possibly some others) don't have that feature.

No idea on the in game Voice stuff as a lot of people mainly use 3rd party voice comms (Teamspeak3, Ventrillo, Mumble).

But just to clarify, you won't run into anybody in your Captain's Quarters, it's a solo prison. Nobody can enter your CQ.

is it that easy just right click on a channel tab..... the other night me and my newbie friend made a channel no problem.... since then ive lost the "join audio" in the tab cant use voice. looked at setting eve voice enabled,,,,contacted Gms is there a problem....nothing that was 5 days ago...i like the game... but i am constantly finding this game elitest to those in the know and us noobs

It will always take at least one or two days for gm's to get back to you.

Did you try the help channel?

Also Im pretty sure if you join voice chat on a channel. You wont loose it or turn it off until either you leave said channel or turn it off your self. Is it possible your still on voice chat its just your friend isn't?

As long as you have that little voice bubble in the upper corner of your chat window your still logged into voice chat.

By the way when you ask for help in a forum and you immediately start accusing people you dont know, of being elitist. It does two things:

1. It makes you look infantile like your stamping your foot because you didn't get the answer you wanted right away.

2. It makes people not want to help you.

Eve is complicated as **** and the GM team is getting inundated with questions constantly, they cant always respond with in 2 hours of you asking your question.

Hope this helps.

Eve tends to generate a good bit of heat due to excessive hardware demands. The heat triggers the fans and puts them into high gear in a MBP. From there, the surprisingly sensitive mic pics up all the fan noise as well as your talking into it as if you're speaking to everyone from within a wind-tunnel. Further, MBP mics are prone to being very sensitive/crystal clear - catching audio quite some distance above and beyond where your computer is. - ultimately it all gets problematic when trying to use them with eve & gaming.

Depending on your MBP you may want to look into a USB based headset or look for an imic by griffin or similar USB mundane headset converter. Unless things have changed with very new macs, - the mic input is generally unable to use common PC mics. Unless they're amplified before entering the Mac. On the other hand they're great for accepting an electric musical instrument or preamplified mono/stereo source and feeding it directly into the mic/line-in port.

Personally i'd suggest finding a good/decent USB converter for use with common PC headsets. With a USB converter you can use all types of headset of various qualities and features just like any pc user. Where as if you simply go with a headset that includes the USB jack your choices may be limited and the cost of headsets with USB jacks tend to be a bit more and annoying to replace if you're prone to stepping on/accidentally destroying them once every few months.
