i think the new voice chat will be a great improvement for the game my fleet is currently using ventrillo but it will be nice not to have to pay for it anymore but i really hope there will be a way to log in to my fleets voice chat without being in game there are many times i am managing the fleet when i am doing other things on the computer so a separate client for use when not in game would be nice it would also be cool if it gave you access to the text fleet chat also with the voice allowing me to communicate with my fleet at all times even when out of game

it is kinda vital to me

i also wonder how they will manege the voice chat with all the server problems they have been having will they be adding more hardware to take the extra strain
i do like the idea though
Do people do this? It strikes me as a fun mix of roleplay with improv and eliminates my frustrations with trying to emote and move while typing, which has kept me from ever getting into non text based roleplay. (Whereas I never tried with non-integrated voice chat because people use different servers and clients, which would make casual voiced roleplay difficult.)
