Before you proceed : {{Color|wheat|It is highly recommended that you follow the guide to build your own overview pack above because it will help you understand how the Overview settings, which space object falls into what category and how does the Overview in whole works.}} | |||
Overview packs are '''pre-built set of overview profiles''' and on most cases, include their own set of settings, such as bracket display and labeling. This allow players to quickly import several overview profiles at once. There are also many other features which can be included on overview packs in comparison to your basic overview, depending on each of the overview packs currently available in public, two of the most common features most overview packs promoted are : | |||
*Customizing how the overview brackets are displayed, as explained in [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=49396 this] thread | |||
*Customizing how the overview tabs are displayed | |||
Bear in mind that overview packs are not official products made by CCP, they are custom-built, third party release. Until today, overview pack is not a sanctioned product nor it is considered an exploit, so it is fairly safe to use until CCP says otherwise. | |||
There are also several other advantages of using or releasing overview packs. One worth mentioning is that some overview packs were designed with a lot of careful considerations and many standards applied. This is especially important in some corporations, big alliances or coallitions. For instance, many of the overview packs may release set X profiles which is used on important scenarios and in turn used by many members of certain organizations; there are also the case of standardization across these profiles, while building your own overview can be good or better on some cases, using the same overview pack across many players at once enables you to follow and issue commands or intel with the knowledge that the other person who listen or giving those intel actually have the same overview setup as yours. | |||
