The mobile game "Galaxy Empires" (available for both iphone and android) is ripping off CCP intellectual property. Several of the in-game icons use EVE ship models, one icon is VERY clearly a Raven, another icon is VERY clearly an Armageddon. This was first discovered by an alliance mate who tried the game.

Ill also add that the UI is a direct ripoff of the starcraft UI, and the ingame "graphics" are also a direct starcraft ripoff.

CCP you should probably have a look at this, it looks like these guys are stealing your IP

Posting here since I figure a Dev is likely to see it here and forward it to the appropriate people.

If you'd reframe this into an EVE Specific gripe with snapshots of our stolen artwork and send it to security@ccpgames.com I can assure you it will vanish.

This post was from late April, referring to the same exact game. That's still on the App Store?
