Eve Mobile / iPhone Application
Description
CCP is interested in developing Mobile applications which interact with EVE through the EVE API (see http://myeve.eve-online.com/api/doc/). We are eager to hear what ideas MIT students might come up with - here are a few ideas:
• Skill Trainer or Ship Outfitter (see EveMon? http://evemon.battleclinic.com/)
• POS Calculator (see http://www.eve-meep.com/downloads/plugins/pos-fuel-calculator/)
• Route planner (see http://www.battleclinic.com/eve_online/route_finder.php)
• Personal or Corp Wallet or Transactions viewers
• EVE Mail (not possible with the current API)
CCP is revising the EVE API in regards to what data can be accessed and manipulated. We are open to the idea of extending the API to benefit the Mobile application's need in mind.
About CCP
CCP was founded in the summer of 1997 with the goal of becoming a leading massively multiplayer game company. With the launch of EVE Online in May 2003, CCP has established itself as one of the leading companies in the field, winning numerous awards and receiving critical acclaim worldwide.
CCP is dedicated to the development of cutting edge massively multiplayer games. CCP is founded on the principle of pushing the envelope and breaking new grounds on all levels. CCP is not about making copycat products with compromised quality. CCP is about making dreams become a reality.
Massively multiplayer games are virtual realities. They are about creating experiences unattainable in any other form of media. A virtual reality is about true human interaction and true human emotions in a living and evolving world. It is CCP’s belief that massively multiplayer games are the biggest revolution in computer gaming history and CCP is dedicated to make the dream of a true virtual reality come into being.
CCP’s mission is to attract and retain customers by providing top quality online entertainment. CCP does this by establishing and nurturing a trust relationship with customers both in terms of quality of content as well as quality of service.
CCP encourages respect, dialog, interaction and cooperation on a deeper level between its employees and customers than is common in online games. By this and through this CCP provides a unique way for improving the quality of its products and creates an inspiring and challenging environment for talent to thrive.
About EVE
EVE Online is set in space, in a far away future, in a world of unprecedented depth and magnitude. Your aim is to establish yourself as a major mover and shaker, trusted by your friends and respected by your enemies. Your means of accomplishing this will lie in your business acumen, social skills, Machiavellian thinking and cunning combat strategies. To back that up, you have access to an array of sophisticated equipment, deadly weapons, state of the art spaceships and connections to mega-corporations and crime syndicates.
EVE Online was published in May 2003 and has been consistently growing since launch. EVE Online has won numerous awards and has received critical acclaim worldwide.
EVE Online is in many ways different than other massively multiplayer games on the market today. The setting is Science Fiction, whereas most current offerings are Fantasy based. EVE does not employ sharding* or instancing** to split content and resources between players. This means that all players can interact with each other if they choose to do so. It also means that if you are famous in EVE, you are known by the EVE community, not by the population of one game server.
