The current EVE API should not be difficult to implement in Dust but I do realize things take time. It allows read/write access doesn't it? The development of Dust isn't 10 years old and it is getting tweaked on a daily basis so I would expect that your expectations of a length of time to put this feature in may not amount to a definite answer and as for vita apps, they did show a fitting tool for it already. I see CCP trolling us with goodies and it leads to so much disappointment when rather than being 6 months away like some things appear to be that they turn into 1-5 years down the road.

Currently many people are asking for the ability to connect Dust with their daily lives apart from the time they spend in front of their PS3, I say yeah lets do this. I am always willing to beta test a new feature proposed and implemented by CCP or the community. Dream big, plan big, the heavens are not out of reach.

Given that we know it's coming and what it will have, what other reason is there to bring it up yet again other than to raise priority on it unnecessarily and possibly unhealthily?

As to extending the existing system, if that's not a waste of resources I don't know what is; burn dev time on extendinb a system that's about to be deprecated entirely? That's just stupid, if they want to throw away money just make eve free for a month or two, it'd probably get them more paying customers in the long run than the former.

This thread is pointless. It'll be here when it's ready, and there's no point in calling for something that's already moving at full speed.

Draco Cerberus Purgatorium of the Damned League of Infamy 80	Posted - 2013.06.01 17:17:00 - [2] - Quote I can imagine and look forward to being able to fab up some software to do fitting on the computer and send the fit to my merc on the ps3 as well. I also see the ability to send mail in some way other than in game as a must have. Typing mail up on the PS3 can be really frustrating if composing corp addresses or sending someone helpful advice regarding fittings or tactics. I suppose out of game mail works too but it would be much easier through a Dust Gate. There are many out of game voice clients such as Mumble and TS that work well to communicate but lack the portability to the PS3, being able to connect to the 3rd party voice servers that CCP uses for the in game voice client would be nice and may not be possible due to various legal reasons. A dev response on this matter would be nice.

Once that is done, expect integration with EveHQ, Aura, etc., as well as new stand-alone apps to appear. The Vita is one thing, but when it comes to computers, tablets, and smartphones there's little incentive for CCP to burn resources the community has shown extensive aptitude for (hell, the in-game fitter only even tried to improve in the last couple years, and still isn't anywhere near as good as EFT, let alone the superior fitting tool in EveHQ.) Is this a double post? We know this is coming sir, just giving feedback. BTW if we had the API apps would be designed independently from CCP's production schedule, unfortunately until the API is released this is a hard thing to accomplish as all procedure calls are easier with a way to interface with the server. The API is the communication tool that apps like EFT, EveHQ, EveMon and Pyfa use to get information about a player's skills and assets. Without this it is a painful process of manually entering character stats to a program to fit dropsuits, a process that I would rather leave to calling stats from the server which is up to date and quite accessible with an Eve API.

Is it wrong to give feedback on a topic we feel is relevant? I want this, if you do not simply say no. Every bump is appreciated though.

If yoy cant cintribute anything creative and usefull well all I can say is keep it shut. In other words, it's the reduntant, useless post I call it out for being. Nothing you list isn't being included in the API, nothing you list isn't included in most apps (hell, for news there's already RSS feeds to plug into your reader of choice). You want to be USEFUL on this topic, instead of wasting space? Make a thread compiling all the things that we knew were coming from announcements years ago, and further confirmed to be coming with the Vita app (thus confirming the API will support them). Hmm?
