So do we. But there are no official plans to pursue it. We will likely look into the possibility sometime after release. Three operating systems is enough for us for now ;)

I certainly understand that and besides the learning curve being comparable to eve online :roll: I really like the game and havn't stopped playing it.

I would happily buy the game again if it came on Android. It's absolutely perfect for the platform - hell, I'd even pay more for the ability to play it without having to be stuck on my pc.

Absolutely. It´s made for handling by touch and slide on tablets from 7" up.

The only problem I see is the pausing mechanic & its associated micro; at advanced levels it becomes very click intensive.

Replace it with a game speed slider and it'd work much better for tablets.

In fact a game speed slider (controlled by mouse wheel) would probably work better for the PC too! :lol:

I logged in solely to say this is something I would support. My Transformer Prime tablet goes everywhere with me and it would be nice to play a quick 15-20 minutes of FTL when out and about.. None of the controls are really impossible and the graphics aren't the type that scream 'gaming pc', so to me it's a perfect fit. Maybe a kickstarter just for the port? ^^

I registered just for this topic. It would take some work but the game just seems perfect for tablet.

It needs to happen. That's all there is to it.
