I was bored so.

The video is Eve online fanfest 2011 ccp presents and the Guy is ar 49.20
I can't link ut since I'm on my Android

The video features the preview of some ships and a fitting screen
but not the full game, unfortunatly. He does though have the same
"app" on his phone.

Conclusion; i want this to aura (Android evemon).

if ccp wants to go mobile, ipad is the only way, and thats based on sales and market share, not the fact that i prefer apple for mobile devices Lol


I don't think that necessarily true, either way I'd prefer something more widespread and allot less restricted then apple, like android. But that's me I guess.

Perhaps he's already got one arm like popeye due to his other internet past-times :P

I really wanted a touch screen when I first heard about them. First thing I thought was how sweet Eve would be with a touch screen. Than I went up to Bestbuy to check out a demo. That thing sucked!

Now here I am a couple years later with one. I guess I knew it was a touch screen when I bought it, but I didn't think about. Than one day I accidentally clicked on the Touch screen setup app, and I'm like WTF this is a touch screen? I didn't enable the feature. I look at my phone and ipod covered in finger prints, I don't want my monitor looking like that!

I recently got the chance to play EVE on a friends new setup.

3x 27" 3D screens.

Touch may be cool, but you really can't beat that.

If you sit on your hand for 10 minutes till it goes numb, will it feel like someone else is flying your ship?

I'll post a video tonight.

[u]The nerfs to supercaps will cause more super pilots to join the largest alliances who can properly "support" their deployment, further concentrating firepower/wealth in EVE. The end result will be fewer "fun" fights, and will hurt EVE in the long run.[/u]

Yeah, something tells me that the OP already has that condition, gained through other means (viz. Quagmire's first exposure to the internet)

I just tried playing EVE on my touchscreen monitor (22" Dell IPS) ... and it freaking rocks!

Using just one finger, it is possible to rapidly spin the camera and then double tap to reorient the ship. I have never been "pro" at manually flying EVE ships, but using a touchscreen I was able to fly around a can with tremendous ease in a fast frigate at close range.

If you have the cash to burn and want to try something new.. it was definitely an experience. I would keep a keyboard and mouse handy though! (Not responsible for lost shineys!)


I can do that to, it's called orbit lol

I fail to see how this is a bad thing. Sure... it may look a bit unsightly... but if anyone laughs you can deck them in the face.

PvPing in EVE on a touchscreen might even get on the list of things that constitute a good workout... making internet spaceships even more SERIOUS BUSINESS!!

Expensive?

I saw a full-sized touch-screen PC on the shelf at a local Staples almost a year ago for under $1000

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....
