Would it provide an essential upgrade to user experience?

More precise question is we'll ever get UI to react properly to touch/Wacom pen.
Because we actually have Perpetuum for tablets, but because some UI elemens react terrible to sensor input, it's suited for in-terminal activity only. On surface it's a nightmare...

If you want to manage something on the surfing tablet, you might want to ask for API upgrade, so we can write the necessary software on our own.

So is that a remote desktop app?

It's Lenovo Yoga ultrabook (touch screen + Wacom pen)
Windows 10. But it worked the same on Windows 8.

Also you can find Asus transformers with detachable keyboard - they'll be more compact and lighter in tablet mode. And you can connect bluetooth keyboard, obviously. No Wacom pen support though last time i've checked (it's handy for small interface parts).

Re: Tablet support?

well, not very long and you can play perpetuum on XBox and SteamBox.

and then you will see the lack of controler support an issue wink

Makes more sense now. I think OP is asking when it would be supported by a traditional tablet and not a tablet PC.

Android tablets are called surfing tabkets, by the way.

And what android client shoud be? A lighter version to manage orders, chat, etc? For this task we need better API. Because we all know the answer on question of OP. Never happen.
And if we're talking about porting an entire client, there is 2 problems:
Screen size: even on tablet i've shown is not too comfortable.
CPU: It's actually possible to launch WinXP on Android. And, theoretically, Perpetuum. ARM core just not nearly enough powerful for that now.
So we're going to heavier stuff anyway. To more compact Windows tablets, perhaps. They evolving fast.

The controller support is a stone age.

We need NIA support.

And i'd like to be in chat and have access to character sheet with integrated extension planner.

All of this is possible. DEVs only need to add API functions for external third party software, to recieve various data and send some commands. We'll do the rest.

Players who's online through third-perty software can be shown in chats with some flag that indicates that this is an API session. Because there will be questions regarding online counter when some part of playerbase will use mobile software instead of full client.

But apparently not so easy for a couple of hundreds DEVs of another space MMO roll
But of course, it would be awesome.
