So I come to you with two, that's right two, great ideas that I think would make EVE even more wonderful than she already is.

The first is regarding skill training, specifically for characters on the same account. As it is, to train multiple characters on one account, you either have to buy multiple character training, or pause training on one toon to train another. To do the latter, you have to log onto the toon you want to pause, and then log onto the character you want to train. I propose that we should be able to log onto the character we want to train, and start training them, and when it says "no you can't do this, here buy mulitple character training", it should also give us an option to pause training on another character without having to log them.

My second idea, of course, is quite simply the best, and it's regarding the voice of Aura. I propose that CCP consider approaching Morgan Freeman to do the voice over for a new Aura, because why not?

The first one isn't half bad since you won't break EVE and other than asking the server for one request, it wouldn't hurt anything.

The second, I don't know. I am still voting for Kristen Bell but I don't want this to turn into a debate which voice would suit our once nasty onboad AI.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!

People might think I'm trolling with the Morgan Freeman thing. I'm really not, and if there's enough player support for it, I'll start a petition.

1. Would be nice... but I think the coding limitations still exist for this one (the same limits that also prevent you from switching characters without first exiting the client).

2. Freeman? No. That would put me to sleep. I would rather have Bjork narrate things... only because it would hilarious and mildly arousing to hear her speak.

Bjork

I quite literally ran into her in St Stephens Green in Dublin a few years ago.

she's tiny and im ... not tiny, so i didn't realise there was anyone there untill i felt a face in my chestUgh
i apologised and walked about two steps before my brain recognised the Icelandic accent and made the association
with who i had almost ploughed over in my rush to the off licence (because where else would i be gong in a hurry) ,
turned to say something complimentary but both she and i saw the penny drop for a big gang of american tourists
who would not have noticed her had she not faceplanted into my obvious ass,
i could see the look on her face so let her get back to (successfully) melting into the background.

Edit : and yes remmie, both your ideas are lovely

His voice would calm you down as he rifled through your belongings, emptied your wallet and interfered with your corpse collection.

Hank Azaria, he also voices Chief Wiggum, Comic Book Guy, Moe, the mad scientist guy (Frink?) and Snake (the biker looking guy with the tats)

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
