Voice messages are sent in the form ''<Receiving Channel>,<Transmitting Pilot>:<Message>''. For example if Hawkeye is the [[Scouting|+1 scout]] for a Uni fleet, he might report to the Command channel in the form: ''Command, Hawkeye: Eygfe gate in Aldrat is clear.'' The reason for saying the channel name is that the FC, scouts and so on are listening to two channels. They need to know which channel a message is coming in on in order to be able to respond appropriately.

Voice messages are sent in the form ''<Receiving Channel>,<Transmitting Pilot>:<Message>''. For example if Hawkeye is the [[Scouting#+1|+1 scout]] for a Uni fleet, he might report to the Command channel in the form: ''Command, Hawkeye: Eygfe gate in Aldrat is clear.'' The reason for saying the channel name is that the FC, scouts and so on are listening to two channels. They need to know which channel a message is coming in on in order to be able to respond appropriately.

By convention the FC does not usually need to announce his or her identity as most of the time s/he is the only person speaking. A typical message from the FC might therefore be: ''Fleet: Align to Eygfe gate.'' There is normally no need for anyone to reply over voice with a ''Roger'', ''Copy'' or ''Wilco'' - if the FC wants to check you have heard and understood s/he will ask at the end of the transmission ''... do you copy?''

Fleet commanders and others may use [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedure_word procedure words] (known as prowords) which are short words or phrases used in a standardised way to communicate a fuller meaning. Some prowords (''roger; over'') will be familiar from so-called real life: others (''jump, jump, jump; hold on contact'') will only be heard in ~~Eve~~. Examples of both types are given below. Further examples of verbal (or written) commands can be found under [[Fleet Terminology]]. Note that the prowords '''Over''' and '''Out''' should not normally be used in E-Uni fleets. They add little extra information and use up valuable airtime.

In the case of unusual names (eg for systems or pilots) it may be necessary to spell out a word. The table below shows the internationally agreed [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet phonetic alphabet] which may be useful. Words are spelled out letter by letter, so for example Eygfe is spelled out ''Echo, Yankee, Golf, Foxtrot, Echo'' (and not ''E-Echo, Y-Yankee, G-Golf'' etc...) If you are about to spell out a name, it may be helpful to use the proword '''I spell''' to warn people that phonetic alphabet is coming, thus: ''Warp to Eygfe, I spell: Echo, Yankee, Golf...''
