Hi everyone,
I'm a software developer and I've recently come to the conclusion that in order to be... better at what I do, I should have a broader background than just the one language and limited amount of things I ever do at work. So if I'm going to develop in my spare time, I want to develop things that I actually like. I want to make an Eve Online app for the Android market. I know there are already tons out there, but that's ok, I'm just looking for experience and the community can use whatever I happen to create. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to put in an app that may not be out there already? If worse comes to worst, I'll just come up with something that someone else has already come up with, but I figured I'd ask the community first.
By the way, my experience in Eve is not enormous. I've mainly done PvE stuff and played the market a little bit, but I've never gotten into the major part of the game - corporations, null sec, etc. But I think I have a pretty good understanding of how things work. |

Can you make me an app that lets me AFK troll the forums? Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

I have the Aurora app but I never even use it.
It has some market browse feature but there's nothing there.
I'd like a phone app for Eve that lets you manage your training skills, use the chat remotely, place buy and sell orders and make contracts (for starters).
But that's probably out of your reach and something CCP would have to do.
If they made something like that I wouldn't mind paying 2-3 euros a month extra for that service. The Battle of Wizna. Like the movie 300 but against German tanks. |

How about a count-down for players who got banned? I am sure if those players could leave a comment they would all agree with this idea.
Then try taking a look at the EVE API at what data is available. You should get ideas pretty soon just from that. An app, which shows the wallet or one's market orders or contracts, would be everyone's favourite.
And last but not least, try the Features and Ideas Discussion section and the EVE Technology Lab. Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling. |

A GÇ£notify all the things!GÇ¥ app, perhaps?
Contracts failed or accepted? Notify! Market orders changed? Notify! Industry job status changed? Notify! New notifications? Notify!
GǪthere are quite a few apps out there that let you see the data, but few of them that make a proper racket when they change. Vote Malcanis for CSM8. |

A decent fitting tool, while Aura has one it's not really easy to use. "Don't count on others for help. In the end each of us is in this alone. The survivors are those who know how to look out for themselves." |

I wouldn't start any new development for EVE right now. CCP are currently going back and changing all their EULA related policies on third party apps. Your app might be within the EULA today, but tomorrow it might not be.
If you have to write it anyway, stick to the official API (things like cache scraping have been declared EULA-illegal by sreegs) - |

Hrm.... I don't know if Neocom does this or not, but what would be awesome is a skill planner with a real world graphical calender so you can figure out your skill plans on your phone. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

You do know he is looking to develop a MOBILE app right? What cache is there to scrape? While the API is changing you can apply to have early access to it NOW for development. However as it is in development it is a moving target but such is the way with any app that relies on API's to function.
I wish you the best and congratulate you on expanding your knowledge! |

Wait for CCP to release the CREST API and you'll be able to do alot more with it. You could probably make the first out of game corp chat app....if CCP release it anytime soon [PROPOSAL] INGAME ADVERTS FOR PLAYERS |

Basically a clone of Neocom (and its easy to use ship fitting screens) for Android would be the sex.
As the first Android app of that caliber I would be willing to pay for it. http://evedarklord.blogspot.ca |

You know, you are not allowed to profit from it in any way, right? Otherwise, you are connecting to the EVE servers illegally.. right?
So, if it really is just to learn, okay. But if you think you might make a profit... no, no. |

I haven't heard anything about that, got a source? I don't see any improvement either way. We're going to be suck in perpetual limbo of never knowing what's EULA-legal or not because CCP won't say anything more concrete than "you may or may not be breaking the EULA and we may or may not ban all your accounts and/or applications". Combine that with ninja-edits to 3 year old posts without announcement and this new ridiculous "developer license" designed to protect CCP and you can see why I'm not going to write another app for EVE online again -- and as I said in my previous post I don't think writing apps for EVE Online is a good idea right now. - |
