=== Cross-Platform ===
==== Pyfa (Python fitting assistant)  ====
Like the well-known EFT (listed below), Pyfa allows you to create, experiment with, and save ship fittings without being in game. Like EFT, Pyfa can import your character information to take your skills into account and show you what skills you need for a given fit.  Open source and written in Python, it runs under Windows, Linux and Mac OSX, or any other platform where Python and wxWidgets are available.
The Pyfa website provides a Windows installer .exe as well as a .zip file, and a .tar.bz2 for the Mac.  Also available is a .tar.bz2 of source code, and instructions for Git access to the source.

This program is written to be an OSX based alternative to EVEMON. Although the program is no longer being developed for new features, the author has promised to keep it updated to work w/ future patches.

Crossovers benefit is in its nearly full functionality with EFT. API,Fits,Settings etc... will all be saved and available when the program is closed and then relaunched. As of this writing (10/7/2010) the only known element that does not work is the ability to import and export XML files.&nbsp;

==== TeamSpeak 2 On Mac&nbsp; ====
There are several alternatives available to Team Speak that work nicely on the OSX operating system. Unfortunately, none of the current alternatives allow you to use "Command Channel," which is what UNI-Fleets use in order to communicate in private amongst the leadership and the scouting party. You can see how this limitation would be frustrating to OSX users! Utilizing [http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ CrossOver]&nbsp;you can seamlessly integrate Team Speak into your Apple OS, with out requiring a virtual machine to do so.&nbsp;
#Download [http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads&archive=1 TeamSpeak 2]
#Install [http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ CrossOver]
#Once Cross Over is installed and TeamSpeak is downloaded, click on the TeamSpeak Installer (It should be shown w/ crossover as the launch program)
#Follow the instructions as if you were on a windows machine.
#Follow instructions [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/TeamSpeak here] to setup TeamSpeak for E-Uni Fleets
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; *Note You can drag the TeamSpeak 2 Icon from your Crossover Programs folder to the Dock for a quick launch Icon.
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; *Note During installation you may get a failure during the "Codec Installation" dis-regard this and click through.

iClone is an entirely comprehensive iPhone application giving the full capabilities of the EVE API to the iPhone user. It displays full character information, wallet information, and even corporation information. In this author's opinion, its capabilities make Capsuleer (above) unnecessary.

===EVE Mobile Skill Planner===
===EVE Mobile Skill Planner===


EVE Mobile Skill Planner is a character tracking application developed for phones with Java capabilities. Similar to Capsuleer, it displays character stats, skill training completion, and wallet information. It will also allow you to add skill completion times to your mobile calendar. Although not as graphically pleasing as Capsuleer, it is a great alternative for players who would like to keep track of their characters on the go.
