OK...so I like eve. Whut?
SO much so infact that I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a mod or tool or just some general tips that allow me to make skill changes to my Char, but in a WORK SAFE manner.
Installing the full blown eve client is one option, but the work computers would never cope. Similarly there is the whole "yes boss, I AM playing a game on company time" thing to consider.
I realise that having third party tools to make char changes is EULABADMONKEY! But that doesn;t mean there aren;t other options out there that aren;t EULABADMONKEY!
Any adivce?!

There is (supposedly) a cell-phone and tablet PC version of the client in the works at CCP, but there's no ETA on when it would actually be available.
Edit: I just noticed that edited "You are" Final Fantasy signature graphic, thanks for a good laugh!

Is it possible to play on your home comp with remote desktop?
Depends on the quality of your connection. If your connection at work and home are close to a T3 line then you might get good enough FPS to change skills.
It might work if you play in windowed mode, but full screen is a definite no. I haven't tried it myself. Also, Remote Desktop will only work if you are running Windows XP Pro. Most people are running WIndows XP Home or Media Center and do not have the ability to set up RDP to accept connections. The non-Pro versions only allow what are called Remote Assistance requests using Remote Desktop and must be initiated from someone at the computer.
Only if your corporate firewall has those ports allowed to all internet IP's (or you can somehow talk someone into opening the RDP ports to your subnet)
An alternative if you don't have XP Pro is to use netmeeting and set it up for remote access. But, again, you will have to make sure several ports are allowed on your company's firewalls.
