Brer Avin	Posted - 2011.02.11 20:13:00 - [1] Edited by: Brer Avin on 11/02/2011 20:13:51 Hey Guys Just signed up for Eve Online to check out Incursion and the character editor a couple weeks ago and have been casually playing around. One thing I've been doing though, that I think you guys might think is cool, is playing Eve through my iPad. I'll go into 'how' later, but I have to say it looks awesome on the ipad and, I don't know about you, but playing while lying on the couch = big win. Now, things like complex combat aren't terribly practical (though not impossible) but mining, traveling, scanning, organizing, or any of the slower paced gameplay mechanics are perfect. Autopilot with UI turned off is like watching a scifi movie. I took a couple shots (sorry, I don't have very cool ships or locations yet :/) just to share. You can see my little ipad "keyboard" tab on the bottom :) How? Well, iPad has a cool app call "Splashtop Remote" that streams your desktop to your ipad. Even works remotely. The rest is self explanatory :). I gotta say, it feels like a decidedly "2011" experience. Love it.
MLG Morril	Posted - 2011.02.11 20:19:00 - [2] I can honestly admit that I've always wanted a touch screen EVE experience. Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Grek Forto Crosshair Corp	Posted - 2011.02.11 20:34:00 - [3] Edited by: Grek Forto on 11/02/2011 20:33:45 The Ipad might be useless (at least for me), but it's pretty cool. But when isn't it when it is EVE related?
Bumblefck Kerensky Initiatives	Posted - 2011.02.11 20:37:00 - [4] The one thing that the iPad hasn't done for you is to read the forum rules re. posting pictures out loud in the voice of Tom Hanks ?

Logan LaMort	Posted - 2011.02.11 21:09:00 - [7] Wow, this is actually the only thing that makes me want an iPad
Mister Grumpy	Posted - 2011.02.11 21:20:00 - [8] Very cool. I need to try this with my iPad.

Zhim'Fufu	Posted - 2011.02.11 21:38:00 - [10] Mind posting some shots with the ui on and some windows open like the market?

Gypsy RoseLee	Posted - 2011.02.11 21:52:00 - [11] I have been playing Eve from my iPhone (and now iPad) for over 2 years with iTelephort. Checking market orders, simple cargo runs, setting skills, etc. I wouldn't do any PvP this way, but I have run missions (over WiFi, wireless is too laggy (be FU to AT&T (who I work for))).

CCP Shadow C C P C C P Alliance	Posted - 2011.02.12 00:02:00 - [17] I'll give this a shot over the weekend. If it's as you say, I suspect I'll derive some form of guiltless quasi-erotic pleasure from this. Thanks in advance. -- Shadow

Hannibal Ord Minmatar Hannibals Commando's	Posted - 2011.02.12 00:07:00 - [18] How fast does it run? I too, have not had a reason to own an Ipad until this very moment?
Kriz Lupin Silver Snake Enterprise Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2011.02.12 00:16:00 - [19] Ipads are awesome, much better than sitting at your pc to do general stuff, If you truely can run eve on ipad this is great news.
Awesome Possum Gallente Isk Relocation Services	Posted - 2011.02.12 00:21:00 - [20] Guess I'll be the first to point out your tristan with its shield booster, armor repper, plate, and no DCU. tsk tsk tsk ♥
Brer Avin	Posted - 2011.02.12 00:30:00 - [21] Glad you guys think it's neat too :). To the general question of performance: I don't want to mislead anyone, it's not going to be like playing on your PC. The mouse is a little less precise (for example, to close a window, you have to click slightly below the x), you don't have a real keyboard (though it does support blue tooth keyboards), quick movements are not instantly responsive, and your screen space is smaller. The playback is certainly not a silky smooth 60fps - the stream is probably more like an acceptable (to me) 20+ fps. Now, that may be a deal breaker for people who are real picky about performance, but for me it's been totally fine. All that said, the display quality really does look great and simple gameplay has not been a problem for me at all. I'll spend some time on my PC doing missions and combat, then I'll switch to the ipad to do some mining, skill organizing, refining, traveling, or scanning. The shear joy and convenience of doing this all on a hand held device makes any limitations worth it.

Or is it consistantly slowish all the time. For example, I can run even on a netbook, it looks ** and runs **, but runs fast out in belts and stuff and slow as arse during undocking.

For example, I can run even on a netbook, it looks ** and runs **, but runs fast out in belts and stuff and slow as arse during undocking. If I'm understanding this correctly - this is simply using a RDP (Remote Desktop) type connection. Your main system is still running EVE, the iPad is simply streaming the display. In which case, it will behave like your main system with the additional FPS loss for running across a remote desktop type link.

I mean, it's great and all... but it's not running natively on the iPad, and still relies on another windows based machine somewhere else to be running it, and a wireless connection to connect to that machine. >>> THE LIFE OF AN OUTLAW <<<

But I can play eve on an ipad in some place I should be doing other stuff than playing eve on an ipad!!!!! Get with the times man. You have to be able to game in any situation to be cool and edgy nowadays. Taking a dump? Bring the ipad. At work? Ipad. Over at the friends house? Ipad ahoy! At a movie? Ipad again! Tbh apple make some of the most socially disfunctional hardware around. ffs I bet someone puts an ipad in their coffin when they die so they can play eve and browse pron in the afterlife.

The idea of snuggling with EVE in bed appeals to my deepest, darkest, inner nerd.

This just may be the solution I have waited for. Sent from my iCapsule.

Though for marketing purposes I suppose this is right up ccp's alley for a new game site interview. "Yo! You can game your game with an ipad running off your game machine!"

Ive been playing eve all over the house in hotel rooms infact anywhere were I have had an internet connection for years off a laptop. I even play on it when traveling places and im not home even in a different country. But now with an Ipad I can do exactly the same as long as I have my desktop PC turned on and access to it... thats progress

And as for Tom Hanks, his voice has just precisely the right amount of snivelling and pusillanimity that I associate with iPad owners e: i do have an ipad but I'm breaking the stereotype here ?

Gavriel Black	Posted - 2011.02.12 12:06:00 - [44] I was playing EVE on an Android phone not long ago the same way. Obviously you had to zoom in and out which was a nightmare but it's a good idea. Who cares if it's streaming from another machine? It still allows you to do the ironing while watching Deal or no deal. I'd like to say "HUR DUR DUR iPad fail" like the rest of society that doesn't have one, but the truth is I just can't afford one. Might save though, I do like the idea of trolling my favourite forums from the comfort of my bed. They remind me of clip boards.. I had an unhealthy obsession with clip boards as a child.
Arec Bardwin	Posted - 2011.02.12 13:41:00 - [45] Pretty cool and all, but this is nothing new. Chribba did this years ago when it actually was impressive; can't be bothered to find the actual thread.

Kriz Lupin Silver Snake Enterprise Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2011.02.12 15:04:00 - [48] Tried it out today and it does work surprisingly well, although like the OP said combat could be tricky. The app only costs ú2.99 aswell, so it is cheaper than most of its rivals.
Abbot Nails	Posted - 2011.02.12 15:12:00 - [49] Originally by: Brer Avin iPad Eve UI drop that shield booster and add a cap recharger or something. you are only hurting yourself with the dual tank. also drop the overdrive injector and put an armor resist on there.
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2011.02.12 15:45:00 - [50] So what you're saying is, it can't run Eve without using another games machine? What's good about that?

Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2011.02.12 19:27:00 - [63] I've been wanting a mobile device for updating market orders/changing skills on the go. although still a bit too hard to justify buying a tablet over a laptop.
Brer Avin	Posted - 2011.02.12 19:28:00 - [64] Thanks for the the replies guys, and thanks for the fitting suggestions :) Contrary to how it may have appeared, I wasn't really on some 'pro-ipad' agenda, and I wasn't even saying this tech was all that new, or that it was better than laptops or what not. I just thought it was kind of cool and I didn't see any other ipad posts :). If you disagree, I won't argue :)

If you guys want to play on a tactile platform, try the Exo Pc: http://www.exopc.com/en/exopc-slate.php The exo pc is a full-featured windows 7 Pc on a tactile presentation. It has a 1.66 ghz CPU, 2 gb of ram, come in a 64-bit version, got a 1080p resolution on a 11.6 inches screen, come with a storage of 32 or 64 gb and have a 32 gb card reader and a web cam. You can plug in a key-board or a mouse also. Price? 650$ Holy crap, now that looks cool and actually usable. The only drawback I see is the intel gpu. Any info on if this can run modern games like the newest eve build at an acceptable framerate? If so then this might be worth looking into. Originally by: Brer Avin Thanks for the the replies guys, and thanks for the fitting suggestions :) Contrary to how it may have appeared, I wasn't really on some 'pro-ipad' agenda, and I wasn't even saying this tech was all that new, or that it was better than laptops or what not. I just thought it was kind of cool and I didn't see any other ipad posts :). If you disagree, I won't argue :) Hehe. Np mate as its pretty cool that you can do this at all and for ipad owners who play eve its a nice bonus. It's just when you are in the know about the vast limitations of the ipad coupled with its insane pricetag you tend to develop a rather bad case of ihate.
