So I recently found a sci fi sandbox game for my Kindle Fire (apparently it's going for the Steam Greenlight too), hooked by the promise of sandbox, and the X-Series-like ability to send out multiple ships besides the one you're flying.

Then I played it. It's.....EVE mobile, essentially. Backstory doesn't even compare, setting actually kind of sucks, controls are a bit weird but I could get used to them. It's called Dangerous by Binary Helix.

But the mechanics are basically EVE. Hi slots (guns (shoots straight ahead), turrets, missiles behave as Lasers/Projectiles/Hybrids and missiles in EVE), mid slots (Shield, probably more, haven't played a whole lot yet), and low slots (armor and hull). Keep at Range, Orbit are both there, though there's a free-flying option. Mining, trade, warping, stations, etc.

There are hangars, some sort of Corporate deal built in, and the ships have a button of stats. Sorry, that's butt ton of stats, most of them EVE-related.

Am I claiming ripoff? No. That would be Perpetuum.

I do think that someone put a lot of effort into trying to take what makes EVE great, make their own engine, and try a few tweaks. Not sure if I like the tweaks just yet, but whatever.

So until I can take EVE with me on my Kindle Fire (or my iPad whenever I eventually get it), this is a decent replacement. it also has paid and unpaid versions. woo.

Sooo... a tablet game that takes the MMO part out of EVE, but keeps all the boring mechanics in?

What part of that should I be interested in?

Single player EVE is about the most boring thing I can imagine.

Really, what the hell is it with all these kids wanting mobile versions for full fledged games.

You can already play Eve on any mobile device.

All you need is

This has been mentioned before, it's a good game I've been playing it for a good few months the new he version is ok but not worth the money until the UI is refurbished.

An Eve like game on a touch device must really be awful. Its just not practical.

Angry birds is about the level to be practical for a touch device.

Power is not something that is granted - it is something to be taken.
