Well be honest.
This is a big market, and eve devs should invest some time in this to make bigger profit, and what is most important - bring NEW PLAYERS to "main" EVE.
I'm not saying port eve to android - this is nonsense, but maybe create some additional contents?
We have now dust - for consoles - maybe devs should think about creating some "mini" games that will bring something new to eve universe.
If you have any suggestions please post them here - and don't write - that this will halt eve development - i think that this will be job for few new eve ( android ) developers.

For a standalone games, or games having minimal impact to the game - should be "Free, or charged in ISK"

So my 'quick' suggestions :

"FREE"
( not connected to eve universe - playable eve commercials)
1. Rogue Drone Mothership.
Be mean drone mothership and fight to conquer some space.
( base mechanics of eve, building, development, loot, bpc , etc)
2.Dust Mercenary.
Very simplified - no multi player , you are dropped to the battlefield , minimal skill development - few maps.
3.Eve explorer
Lone ship exploring universe, fighting some rats, and gathering stuff for better ship/equipment.
(eve ships and equipment)

"Paid"
Can be paid in plex - subscription length depending of complexity and having direct impact on eve universe

1. Eve planetary manager
( why not , a little more "productive" than normal planetary manager, shorter cycles , etc etc)
If someone want to pay to have some fun with the planets, and their development - why not.
All goods at the end can be transferred to the "friendly" custom office or sold on a system market.

2.Eve miner ;)
To be honest - so many players do that - why not allow to contract a ship and mine in higsec - few asteroids etc etc
And yes you could be still ganged ;)

3. Eve quest ;)
Explore one of the eve planets, and gather some interesting stuff - you can sell this on a market or contract it to your main account.


I know, this will flame - but simply why not?
Current phones allow this, and if someone want to play/pay for this - then again why not?
I believe this will bring a loot new players to eve

If you have some ideas please post them here, if you want to troll - please find another topic.
