[[Guide to using PYFA]]
EFT allows users to create, experiment, and save different ship fittings without the hassle of being in game. The fittings will calculate and display various stats such as tanking abilities and damage to compare with other ships. Players can import their character information to take their skills into account with stat calculation. It will even show the skills a player lacks which is very useful for future planning. EFT is a must have for players both new and old!

EVEMon was created to help players with the daunting task of skill planning. Players are able to load their character information using API keys to keep track of their current skill sheet and training times. You can then develop a plan for future training and it will help optimize the plan by suggesting skills or attribute remapping to reduce the time needed. As a bonus, you can view ship loadouts from BattleClinic.com and build a skill plan to get you into that fit based on your character's skills. This tool is extremely useful and can even save the ship loadouts from BattleClinic to import into EFT.

EveHQ is a fully open source application designed to be an all-in-one management tool for use with EVE Online. Players can download and even create their own plug-ins to help manage various information and aspects of the game. The core application itself displays basic pilot information, skill training, and statistics. On the site, they feature plug-ins already created to help develop your character, view item stats, and even plan routes on star maps. If you prefer to create your own, they have a development forum and page where you can download the source code. Although it is not as popular as EFT or EVEMon, it is definitely a great alternative for people who prefer an all-in-one package or wish to develop and customize their own programs.
