== Preface ==

This course is intended to cover the ~~usages~~ of EFT and ~~EVE Mon,~~ two ~~metagaming~~ tools designed for EVE Online. They are ~~intended~~ to aid ~~Pod Pilots~~ in ~~planning skills,~~ experimenting with ship ~~fitting,~~ and ~~obtaining information on~~ the ~~skill gap~~ between ~~the Pod Pilots current set of~~ skills~~, the skills needed to fly~~ a ~~ship with a given loadout,~~ and ~~the~~ skills ~~needed~~ to ~~fly the~~ ship effectively as defined by EVE University Doctrine.

This course is intended to cover the usage of EFT and interfacing it with EVEMon. These are two out of game tools designed for EVE Online. They are used to aid players in experimenting with ship fittings and establishing training plans based upon the differences between what skills a character has and what skills are necessary to pilot a ship effectively as defined by the EVE University Doctrine.

This course will give students a solid working knowledge of how to effectively use these tools ~~in order~~ to organize training plans with specific goals of flying ~~certain ship types or certain loadouts of~~ a ~~specific~~ vessel.

This course will give students a solid working knowledge of how to effectively use these tools to organize training plans with specific goals of flying specific ships, with appropriate fittings on a given vessel.

=== Introduction ===

Welcome ~~to Metagaming 101, or~~ how to use EFT and ~~EVE Mon~~. The goal of this class is to get you familiar with both programs, which when used properly can help you maintain focused training goals to quickly progress your character towards a specific goal.

Welcome.

This course is on how to use EFT and EVEMon. The goal of this class is to get you familiar with both programs, which when used properly can help you maintain focused training goals to quickly progress your character towards a specific goal.

Talking on Mumble is for the instructor to provide information and by instructor invitation only. There will be a Question and Answer portion to this class but if you have questions, please type them in the Class.E-Uni channel so they can be addressed by the instructor.

For this class you will need access to your API ID and key. This is available from: <provide link from above into the class window> - use your EVE login and password to gain access to your API information.

As part of this class, we will have you change your API key. For those that use multiple machines, other tools that require the API or have applications pending for titles or ILN membership; you may choose not to do this.

Note: EVE University does not keep your API key nor expect it to be the same after it has been used. This is why you are asked to provide it again for titles, joining the ILN and other such changes to your status while you are a member. The API keys are yours and the Uni only uses it to validate pertinent information. Feel free to change it any time after such validations have completed.

=== EFT and You ===

EFT, when used properly can be a very valuable tool. It can ~~allow~~ you to quickly evaluate a ships capabilities without having to put it at risk. In other words, how much incoming DPS you can tank as well as how much you can lay down in missions. For PvP, there are tools to evaluate your ship in PvP situations.

EFT, when used properly, can be a very valuable tool. It can enable you to quickly evaluate a ships capabilities without having to put it at risk or spend ISK to see how fittings might work on a ship in game. In other words, how much incoming DPS you can tank as well as how much you can lay down in missions and for how long due to capacitor use. For PvP, there are tools to evaluate your ship in PvP situations.

===== Setting up for the class =====

The first thing that we will cover is making sure your EFT and EVEMon are installed with the latest updates.

# EVEMon, once installed, will,by default, keep itself up to date but EFT won't. Link:
