I believe many in the community, including myself, would deeply appreciate an option to toggle between Aura’s original voice and the current one.
The original Aura voice had a unique and immersive quality that fit seamlessly into the atmosphere of EVE Online. Its calm, mechanical tone was perfectly fitting for the voice of an AI.
I feel that the original voice had a charm and immersion that the updated version lacks. The current Aura sounds too “human,” which feels out of place. I was hoping for a long time that there would eventually be an option to switch between the two voices, but so far, this hasn’t been done.
Given that the original audio files presumably still exist, I imagine implementing an option to toggle between the two voices would not require significant development resources. Such an option could be a meaningful nod to the loyal veteran community that has supported EVE Online for years.

I’m not sure that would be possible since the two different voices are in fact different Voice Actors. It would depend on the contract details.
