Voice Comms
Voice Comms are used to participate in fleets, communicate time-sensitive information, and chat with fellow corporation, alliance, or coalition members.
The ability to quickly communicate makes Voice Comms essential to participate in even the most basic group activities in Eve.

Mumble
Mumble is a VoIP program for Windows, OS X, Linux, and iOS. Authentication for each server you join is saved by the server rather than your own computer. This allows you to easily join and authenticate multiple servers without needing someone to manually give you permissions to do what you need to do.
Brave Voice Comms
These are the main comms for Brave Collective, and are also used to host most coalition fleets. You should always be logged into this when you're in-game, if nothing else to be able to hear intel and respond accordingly.
You ARE NOT REQUIRED to have a microphone or talk while on comms.
Prerequisites
- A Mumble Installation
- A Character apart of Legacy Coalition
Setup Walkthrough
Test Voice Comms
TEST's Forum often plays host to coalition updates, and many of their other services can be valuable when supplementing our own. Their comms are sometimes used for coalition fleets, and more often capital OPs. You will need to join TEST's authentication system access these services, and here's how you can do that.
TEST uses a mumble service called Minder2, which allows them to create and destroy mumble servers at will. Once you have it set up, save your password for the Minder2 service. You will need it whenever joining test ops.
Prerequisites
- A Mumble Installation
- A Character apart of Legacy Coalition
Setup Walkthrough
- Head over to TEST's Auth Site
- Create an account and verify your email.
- Once you're logged in, set a services password that's NOT the same as the one you used for your account.
- Now, on the EVE API Keys Tab and click the LEGACY ALLIES button and sign in for any Brave Character. This is a reduced ESI request that only requires the most basic information.
- Under Service Accounts, click the Add Service button.
- Enter "Minder2" under "Service", and set a services password to be used for Minder2..
- Go to TEST's Mumble Server List using the service password you set up. Bookmark the site.
