The mobile game "Galaxy Empires" (available for both iphone and android) is ripping off CCP intellectual property. Several of the in-game icons use EVE ship models, one icon is VERY clearly a Raven, another icon is VERY clearly an Armageddon.
Ill also add that the UI is a direct ripoff of the starcraft UI, and the ingame "graphics" are also a direct starcraft ripoff.
CCP you should probably have a look at this, it looks like these guys are stealing your IP
Posting here since I figure a Dev is likely to see it here and forward it to the appropriate people. |

Because it's the mostest beautifulest ship in all of Eve. It may not be symmetrical, but it sure is sexy. |

No, the Nyx is indisputably the sexiest ship in the game. :D

Flattering in a way, but extremely uncool.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Not very nice to steal other people's art, either, but perhaps I was a little overzealous in protecting the only game I've ever felt protective of.

CCP isn't shy about their debt to Elite's legacy. OTOH, inspiration isn't rip-off.
