Alpha Clones Bolster Capsuleer Numbers Despite Continued Drifter Assaults
An influx of capsuleers adopting the new Alpha Clone technology has bolstered the numbers of New Eden's elite pilots, despite a major escalation in Drifter activity and direct assaults on military assets of the "Big Four" empires.

This week in EVE:
People protesting the Aura voice chang...
"Please disperse quietly, there is nothing to see here."

Aura's voice. Fix it.

Yep. Bring back the old Aura. New Aura is fine for the NPE, but for "warp drive actives" and docking voice confirmation and "you cannot jump" messages.... and ESPECIALLY for "skill training complete"... the old voice WAS EVE. Years of auditory comfort flushed down the toilet just so there'd be one new voice actor for the NPE + all the rest of us.

Keep the new voice actor for Aura in the NPE, give us back the old Aura for everything else. Kthxplz.
