#Undock and ﬁnd a safe place to sit. You will be sitting out in space for around half an hour. Immediately outside of a dockable station and away from the station exit is a good place to do this. '''Alternatively, do this on an alternate character on the same account.''' The changes will carry across to all characters ''on that account on the same computer''. This is required for characters in E-UNI during wartime.

#You can also set up the overview settings without undocking from station, if you set up a shortcut key to access the overview, as shown here: [[Image:Overviewwhiledocked2.png]]

#Click the lines at the top left of the [NeoCom] panel --> Social --> Fleet. Click the top left of the newly opened Fleet window and '''Form Fleet'''. You will see that you are now in a Fleet. You may need to reposition and resize the fleet window during fleet ops; sometimes you need it small and out of the way, other times you need to expand it to find pilots in the list.

#Make your overview '''nice and big''' - it is your main source of information. You could have it running from top to bottom on the right side of my screen, with '''Selected Item window''' just above it, and the '''Drone Bay window''' just below it.

#During a fleet, you’re going to need to have chat windows open. You generally have two windows open at once - fleet chat and squad chat. I like to keep them on the left side of the screen in separate windows.

#Another window you should have separated is '''Local chat'''. Local is very important in ascertaining who is in system with you. A lot of players like to have it narrowed to the smallest width. You may want to remove portraits from the local chat to make chatter easier to read. The local window is often positioned either running down the left side of the screen between the [[NeoCom|NeoCom]] and the chat channels, or just to the right of the chat channels. The more height your local window has, the easier it is to spot potential hostiles in a system.

#You should also leave space for your watch list, but you can only get that when you have other people in your ﬂeet.

#Press escape and go to the '''General Settings tab'''. Under the '''Windows''' subheading, check '''Lock windows when pinned'''. This will ensure your overview and other windows don’t go anywhere.

#Pin your overview and any other windows of your choice. This will allow you to see through them.
