That said, I prefer Vent to either. Personally I think Teamspeak’s better than EVE voice, provided two important conditions are met:

Because of connection issues or whatever reasons I'm unable to use it, and always sounds garbled or I come accross garbled. So in this way, I stick to Vent and Teamspeak because of there reliability and low amount of bandwith they take up. And the fact, I can have perform Teamspeak on the Laptop, and thus allows Eve play more effeciently on my Desktop. If CCP ever extends Eve Voice to an external client, I forsee almost 90% of Eve will go for it. I see Eve Voice as nice addition to Eve Online, yet..

So it's not a separate client per se, just holds the connection in lieu of the game client not being active. Not sure if it can initiate connections itself, I would imagine that wouldn't be necessary in this case.

And it works quite well. Sound quality is good too (though some ppl have some extremely crappy mics). What would be a good addition in the software though is a limiter, so that one person with a bad setup doesn't deafen the entire fleet O_o. Anyway, an external client would be nice, but it would have to communicate with the eve-client somehow, otherwise it would just be another teamspeak etc thing.
