12th Blog Banter – EVE On Mobile Devices

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!

FIrst of all, as you can see I decided to join the EVE blog banter. Second of all I’m working on reacreating my blog’s theme because it has some display issues in Internet Explorer. And third, well let’s get started on the actual topic now shall we.

I’ve been playing EVE for some time now, and I have found that the lack of portability is a little annoying. I’d like to see some kind of implementation on handheld game systems like the Nintendo DS and PSP, even if it’s just a training queue manager or something it would be better then nothing.

well on to the weird and crazy imagination stuff. EVE Online in it’s full glory on NDS/PSP and possibly also on all other major consoles and handhelds, it would probably not look as good and be a little more pixely but being able to play EVE till deep in the night in my bed (Have a mom that wants me to stop at 9PM) would be a welcome addition. It might not be ideal for missioning but as you don’t really need any visuals for missioning only your target list, vital status and overview it would be possible to do missions on it. and the thing I need most (Skill queueing while not on my PC) would not require that much resources anyways.

Well I hope I did okay for my first blog banter, and I’m sure my writing will improve as time passes by and I blog more. I’d say leave your comments on how I did and start a discussion about this subject if you want.

Regards, TheElitist.
