If CCP released a card/boad/minatures game based on flying a spaceship against others, and building individual skills and wealth, would you play it?
I once read somewhere that all video games can be converted to card games; and this is commonly done by game designers to 'test' their game mechanisms.
It's a MMO/battle game, not a strategy game
I know CCP already has a card game based on corporation level strategy, but that doesn't float my dread in the least. EvE is about flying spaceships, and developing individual skills and ship fits. It's a space MMO, not a strategy game like RISK.
The best format?
Would a non-computer EvE game it be best in cardgame/boardgame/pen+paper MMO/tabletop game?
EVE Miniatures anyone?
Cardgames seem most profitable for companies (booster packs etc), but Warhammer has done well from their 40K miniatures and I for one would paint and play with EvE spaceships.
I would love to see something like this.
Fan-Made Version
PS: Would anyone on these forums be interested in co-designing a 'fan-made' game as outlined above for fun?

I want a web based RISK version of EVE to mess around with at work.
I'm sure there are people on these forums who could do this. Would be very cool.

As you mentioned, CCP has already tried to release a card game, and it flopped. I, for one, was quite disappointed, because I rather liked the game. I think it just came down to no one really had local people to play with. I think it would've done much better if they implemented something similar to Magic Online instead.
Nice idea. Maybe make the on-line card game free with an EvE subscription to raise awareness of the game?

Would you be heavily involved in the production of said game or was that a request for someone else to make one?
Both. I am deliberately generalising so if someone has a brainwave, go for it. There are games design websites for minatures games and something like Full Thrust/Battlefleet Gothic perhaps could be modified.(However - where would the 'cool miniatures' themselves come from?) I believe there are MMO card games out there that could be adapted to EvE but I am not too sure of the mechanics (although I am sure many here would.)
I'm just trying to look for interesting ideas.

I'd be happy to work with anyone else who wants to do this, i work for a graphic design company so you're in luck and know a little about web design, plus i'll have a lot of time on my hands soon 
Sounds cool. Contact me in-game.
Sadly I have far less skills than you; I know a fair bit about minatures games, a small amount about card games and 0 skills in web pages/electronics/programming. 
I'm happy to brainstorm with anyone on any of the above (card game/board game/web-game) that keeps EvE as a RPG rather than a strategy card/board game like we currently have. Complexity is up to you...

White Wolf
This merger will result in: boardgames, minis, card games, allowing ccp to concentrate on EvE....
