Is it intended to make the entire experience smartphone-compatible? Will it have portrait mode? Should it have a phone VR mode? ---

EVE Echoes is basically a different game in EVE universe. Graphics are the same, but gameplay-wise it is not a clone of EVE, and would not be. Skills are very different and not actually required to fly ships or install modules, for example; it’s your tech level that decides what you can and cannot fly. EVE Echoes runs in landscape mode, and making a portrait mode would take a lot of work to reposition all the elements on screen. Don’t think it would be actually done. ---

No, it’s not intended to be a port. It is its own game with its own experience that is based off EVE Online. ---

So does that mean eve online will never be on smartphones? This couldn’t be some attempt to see how close a phone version could get to the PC version? ---

> [@Jack\_Leokurt](#): > > So does that mean eve online will never be on smartphones? CCP has not released any information that suggests they will directly port EVE Online to smartphones. EVE Echoes is a separate game with its own separate servers from the main EVE Online game. > [@Jack\_Leokurt](#): > > This couldn’t be some attempt to see how close a phone version could get to the PC version? No. At the end of the day, they are two different games designed for two different purposes. ---

It just seemed so similar, I wondered if it was an attempt to see how many EVE online elements they could fit into a smartphone. ---

They should make an eve smartphone client though. I would like to gank freighters in Niarja while at the office. ---
