The game itself is now on version 1.702 (a couple of minor revisions above what we played at Fishcon... you can download the update files here )
It was already available for Apple tablets (from the iShop here ). What this means is its entirely feasible to get a full crew together somewhere without all the hassle of network cables etc etc.
I think some of the stations may want the extra control a laptop/keyboard gives (Weapons and Helm come to mind), but for some of the other stations (or if you are doubling up...thinking Comms and Science) you could easily run a tablet as a second screen to a laptop to keep an eye on it. Add a projector, and you have an entirely portable bridge. Hell, I have a tablet, 2 laptops and a projector that I can easily shift round on a motorbike!
Personally, I think what the game needs more now is slightly smarter enemies (i.e. ones that don't fly into minefields...or simply get 2 crews together, and go PvP!
