Star Map: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

The [[Star Map]] is EVE Online's World Map and consists of two views, the Star Map itself and the Solar System Map, along with a multitude of functions and statistics available for both. (''You should be aware that EVE has introduced a new map with the intention of eventually replacing the star map. The new map is called [[Map Beta]].'')

The Map can be accessed (and closed) either by clicking the map button in the [[NeoCom|Neocom Panel]] or by pressing F10. You will then be presented with a 3D view of the whole galaxy. Every single dot on the map is a system in itself. If you prefer a 2D view, you can press ''Flatten Map'' on the ''World Map Control Panel''. Also there you can switch between the star map and the solar system map.

This Control Panel is also where you can modify your view of the map and change your autopilot settings.

== Using the Map - Two Examples ==

The map tool provides a universe of information at the pilot’s fingertips. As such, it can take some time to learn what the map tool can do for you. Following are two examples to help you find your way around New Eden a little safer.

'''How do I get to...'''

Line 114:

Often times a pilot is in space and needs to know where the nearest thing is. Here are some ways the map can help you find things:

If you are running missions and find yourself in need of repairs, to find the nearest repair facility: press F10, click on the star map tab, click on the services folder to expand it, then click on the Repair Facilities radio button. Hover your cursor over the resulting dots nearest your location to see what stations in that system have repair facilities. Then right click on the system and choose Set Destination to set your route to get there.

If you are running missions and find yourself in need of repairs, to find the nearest repair facility: press {{button|F10}}, click on the star map tab, click on the services folder to expand it, then click on the Repair Facilities radio button. Hover your cursor over the resulting dots nearest your location to see what stations in that system have repair facilities. Then right click on the system and choose Set Destination to set your route to get there.

To find where and what the nearest [[DED complexes|DED Deadspace complex]] is: press F10, click on the star map tab, and click on the DED Deadspace Report radio button. Hover your cursor over the resulting dots scattered over the map to see what complex is there and the DED rating it has. If you find a complex you want to check out, simply right click on the system and choose Set Destination.

To find where and what the nearest [[DED complexes|DED Deadspace complex]] is: press {{button|F10}}, click on the star map tab, and click on the DED Deadspace Report radio button.

If you find a complex you want to check out, simply right click on the system and choose Set Destination.

'''If I have no scout...'''

Line 122:

If a route will take a pilot through low sec or 0.0 space, it is always good to have information about what is ahead. Many use another pilot to scout ahead, but this isn’t always possible. The map can help. It can give an indication of whether the route has been dangerous in the last short while, and how many ships have come and gone through the route.

Press ~~“F10”~~, center on the route or zoom in so that the route is clear. Click on the star map tab, click on statistics, and click on the following options one at a time:
