EVE Blog Banter #12, for September 2009 - A year of banting!
by Nathan on Sep.30, 2009, under EVE
Welcome to the twelfth installment of the EVE Blog Banter, the monthly EVE Online blogging extravaganza created by CrazyKinux. The EVE Blog Banter involves an enthusiastic group of gaming bloggers, a common topic within the realm of EVE Online, and a week to post articles pertaining to the said topic. The resulting articles can either be short or quite extensive, either funny or dead serious, but are always a great fun to read! Any questions about the EVE Blog Banter should be directed here. Check out other EVE Blog Banter articles at the bottom of this post!
This month’s banter comes to us from CrazyKinux himself, who asks the following: First there was the MMO on the PC, and now with the recent announcement of DUST 514, EVE will soon be moving onto consoles. But what about mobile? Allow your imagination to run wild for a second and describe how you would see EVE being ported to mobile devices, whether the iPhone/iPod touch, Blackberrys or Android-based devices. Dream the impossible for us!
I love mobilility and use my cell for catching up on news, reading my favourite blogs online while on the bus or train.
I would like several functions to be mobile or more accessible. Imagine being able to adjust your skill queue from the bus?
Realising that I might never actually fly in space there are still alot of things that can be done “offline”, be it from a phone och from a browser.
- Trading - Adjust buy and sell orders to keep those ISK at work
- Contracts - Check, issue and accept contracts
- Science and industry - keep those slots filled, check invention progress, manufacturing etc. POS fuel monitor.
All these things would be really neat, you know?
Those points aside, one of the most important thing to me in the game is the networking, or the social part of the game. A way to logon the game and chat with your corpmates would be awesome, access to eve-mails and a forum to ravage when bored on the commute.
Maybe play those minigames against corpmates, betting ISK on the outcome?
In the upcoming DUST 514 release, we could interact, maybe place invasion contracts, chat to DUST Merc Captains negotiating for deals?
