Contacts: Difference between revisions

This page is aimed at introducing players to the personal contacts standing modification tool in the Contacts Tab Under  

People and Places. This will also discuss additional uses for this tool that may not be apparent at first glance.

To search for a contact, you can simply put their name in the chat window and auto-link a character. You can also use the search at the top of the "People and Places" window by selecting Character under Search Type and then searching the name.This will give you the ability to right click on the link and select "Add Contact".

Once you are satisfied with these settings, click the Add Contact button at the bottom.

Contacts are automatically put into containers under your contact tab for quick reference by Standing, Watch List, and Blocked. You can drag contacts between these containers as you would inventory.

If you don't want to add every character in a particularly Alliance or Corporation manually you can set the whole Alliance/Corp to a specific standing. This can be useful if you use an OOC scout/hauler.

The ability to categorize your interactions with people in eve will not only make them easy to identify in the overview and chat, but also makes it possible to develop detailed dossiers of your interactions. To include what they do, where they go, what habits they may have. How they enjoy playing eve.  

All of these features can also be applied to player owned corporations. If you would like to focus on a particular corporation, I would suggest you create a label to place people into with the corporation name. The single notes tab is just not detailed enough to put all of the intel of corporate activities, would be best to place those kinds of notes under the people that are performing those activities within the corp.
