-Hello, Eve University members.
+This guide is intended to introduce beginners to the visual cues EVE Online has for the various modules, so that you can recognise what's being done to your ship in combat (and hopefully, how to counter it). Each visual effect has an animated GIF illustrating what it looks like. <br>
+However in case the animations do not load properly each effect also has a link to a static picture as well. (static images coming soon)
-This guide is intended to introduce beginners to the visual cues EVE online has for the various modules.
-The visual cues covered in this guide are:
-After Burner
+'''WARNING: picture heavy!'''
-Armor Repairer
-Capacitor Transfer
-ECCM
+== Local Repair Modules  ==
-Hull Repairer
+=== Armour Repairer  ===
-MicroWarpDrive
+An armour repairer, as the name suggests, actively repairs the ship's armour whilst the module is active.
-Neutralizer
+[[image:visual2017_armor_repairer.gif]]
-Nosferatu
+The visibility of the armour repairer in action is limited to damaged sections of the ships model.
-Sensor Booster
+=== Hull Repairer  ===
-Shield Booster
+Just as the armour repairer repairs armour, the hull repairer repairs hull damage whilst active.
-Remote Armor Repairer
+[[Image:visual2017_hull_repairer.gif]]
-Remote Hull Repairer
+You won't often see this in space, since active hull tanking is daft. Whilst similar to the armour repair animation. It will be visible only on damaged sections of the ships model.
-Remote Sensor Booster
+=== Shield Booster  ===
-Remote Shield Booster
+The shield booster does for shield what the two previous modules did for armour &amp; hull.
-Tracking Disruptor
+[[Image:visual2017_shield_booster.gif]]
-Warp Scrambler
+The shield booster is easier to see. One thing which sets this apart from the armour &amp; hull repairers is that the animation is offset from the ship surface.
-Webifier
+Colour of shield hardening depends on ships faction of origin.
+== Active Hardener Modules  ==
-----
+=== Armour Hardener  ===
-Engines
+The armour hardener if activated increases armour resistance to incoming damage
-[[File:Cuesengine.JPG]]
+[[Image:visual2017_armor_hardener.gif]]
-In this picture from left to right, one can see a harbinger with normal engines, followed by one with afterburner engaged and finally with wicrowarp drive. Note the increased brightness of the exhaust in the latter two.
+Colour of armour hardening depends on ships faction of origin, not the module or the resistance type itself.
-----
+=== Shield Hardener  ===
-Local Armor Repairer, Hull Repairer and Shield Booster
+The shield hardener if activated increases shield resistance to incoming damage
-[[File:CuesLocalreppers.JPG]]
+[[Image:visual2017_shield_hardener.gif]]
-Here one can see the visual cues of a Harbinger repairing, from left to right, its armor, hull and shield.
+Colour of shield hardening depends on ships faction of origin, not the module or the resistance type itself.
-In all the animations, there is a shimmering effect which starts at the nose of the spacecraft and proceeds to the tail.
+== Assault Damage Control ==
-The armor repairer is characterized by moderately sized pale green patterns moving across the hull. The hull repairer is similar to the armor repairer, but features sharper and smaller pale yellow patterns. The shield booster is comparatively easy to see with board blue patterns flowing around the ship.
+[[Image:visual2023_assault_damage_control.gif]]
-----
+Visual effect is similar to warp stabilization effect.
-Remote Armor Repairer, Hull Repairer and Shield Transporter.
+== Remote Repair Modules  ==
-[[File:cuesRemote.JPG]]
+=== Armour/Hull Repairer  ===
-These two pictures represent the cues from the remote armor/hull and shield repairers/transporters.
+The remote armour repairer is used to repair your fleet mates taking damage.
-The first picture represents both the armor repairer and the hull repairer as the animations are the same, a green and orange cone/cyclone which extends from the ship to the target.
+[[Image:visual2017_remote_armor_repairer.gif]]
+Appears as a green and orange cone/cyclone which extends from the ship to the target. The remote hull repair module has exactly the same animation.
+=== Shield Transporter  ===
+The remote shield repairer is known as a shield transporter, and repairs your fleet mates' shield damage. Note that despite its name, it does not reduce your own shield.
+<!-- is it still called that ?-->
+[[Image:visual2017_remote_shield_booster.gif]]
 The shield transporter is seen as a blue star-burst and beam pointed at the target with a cone of blue rings moving towards the target.
-----
+== Remote Energy Modules  ==
+For each of these modules, the ship on the right is activating the module, targeting the ship on the left.
+=== Energy Transfer  ===
+Energy transfer takes a portion of your own capacitor and adds it to the target's. Thus, this is a module you use on a friendly ship to increase their capacitor.
+[[Image:visual2017_remote_cap_transfer.gif]]
+The golden beams shift, strobe and move violently when the module is active.
+=== Energy Destabilizer  ===
+An energy destabilizer - also known as a neutralizer or "neut" - removes some energy of the target ship's capacitor. Thus this is a hostile module you would activate on enemy ships to shut down their active modules.
+[[Image:visual2017_cap_neutralizer.gif]]
+This looks like an energy transfer effect, except blue &amp; pink instead of gold.
+=== Energy Vampire  ===
+Also known as a nosferatu or "nos" - the energy vampire takes some of the enemy's capacitor energy and adds it to your own. This can be useful for both annoying the enemy and helping to keep your own active modules running.
+[[Image:visual2017_cap_nosfaratu.gif]]
+There is a red beam pointing towards the target with a shifting and spiraling red cyclone.
+== Tackle Modules ==
+=== Stasis Webifier ===
+[[Image:visual2017_stasis_webifier.gif]]
+The webifier doesn't have a ship-to-ship effect, just a kind of circular ripple effect around the target.
+=== Warp Disruptor and Warp Scrambler ===
+[[Image:visual2017_warp_disruptor.gif]] Warp Disruptor
+[[Image:visual2017_warp_scrambler.gif]] Warp Scrambler
+Both warp disruption and warp scrambling effects are imitating cone-like radio wave signals extending from ship to its target.
+=== Interdiction Bubble ===
+[[File:visual2017_interdiction_sphere_generator.gif]] Interdiction Sphere Generator activation<br>
+[[File:visual2017_interdiction_sphere_generator_close.gif]] Heavy Interdictor activating Interdiction Sphere Generator  <br>
+[[File:visual2017_interdiction_probe.gif]] Interdiction Probe activation  <br>
+== Anti-Tackle Modules ==
+=== Warp Core Stabilizer ===
+[[Image:visual2023_warp_core_stabilizer.gif]]
+When a Warp Core Stabilizer is used, cyan pulsing effect is seen on the surface of the ship.
+=== Interdiction Nullifier ===
+[[Image:visual2023_interdiction_nullifier.gif]]
+The visual effect is similar to warp stabilization effect.
+== Electronic Warfare ==
+=== ECM Jammer  ===
+[[Image:visual2017_burst_jammer.gif]] Burst Jammer <br>
+[[Image:visual2017_sensor_jammer.gif]] ECM Jammer <br>
+Modules designed for jamming targeting computers.
+Burst Jammer is universal area of effect module able to disrupt targeting computers in the vicinity. <br>
+ECM Jammer is a focused cone-shaped beam designed to disrupt specific targeting systems.<br><br>
+'''Please note, that ECM and Remote Sensor Booster signals are almost identical'''

+<br>
+=== Sensor Booster  ===
+[[Image:visual2017_sensor_booster.gif]] Sensor Booster <br>
+[[Image:visual2017_remote_sensor_booster.gif]] Remote Sensor Booster <br>
+A sensor booster increases a ship's targeting range and locking speed, making it easier to catch and pin down ships. <br>
+It will also increase ships sensor strength making your ship less susceptible to jamming.
+=== Tracking/Guidance Computer  ===
+[[Image:visual2017_tracking_computer.gif]] Tracking Computer <br>
+[[Image:visual2017_remote_tracking_computer.gif]] Remote Tracking Computer <br>
+Tracking Computer boosts your turrets tracking speed and optimal range. <br>
+Guidance Computer boosts missile flight time and accuracy.

+[[Image:visual2017_tracking_disruptor.gif]] Tracking/Guidance Disruptor <br>
+[[Image:visual2017_sensor_dampner.gif]] Sensor Dampener <br>
+Tracking Disruptor will decrease turret tracking speed and optimal range. <br>
+Guidance Disruptor will decrease missile maximum flight time and accuracy. <br>
+Sensor Dampener will reduce ships maximum targeting range and locking speed. <br>
+=== Target Painter  ===
+[[Image:visual2017_target_painter.gif]]<br>
+''CAUTION - powerful laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure !'' <br>
+(but makes stuff easier to hit)
+== Weapon Systems ==
+=== Smartbomb ===
+Smartbombs are bad news unless it's you doing it.&nbsp; Don't wait around to get blown up and podded.
+Smartbombs are bright and obvious - a huge explosion-effect centred on the ship.

+== Non-Combat Modules ==
+=== Cloaking Device ===
+Your ship shimmers before disappearing from view.
+[[File:visual2017_cloak.gif]]
+=== Tractor Beam ===
+This shows as a fluctuating cone of light blue light towards the target bringing it closer to the ship.
+[[File:visual2017_tractor_beam.gif]]
+=== Salvager ===
+A beam of white light hits the target and salvage process begins.
+[[File:visual2017_salvager.gif]]
+=== Scanners ===
+[[File:visual2017_cargo_scanner.gif]] Cargo Scanner <br>
+[[File:visual2017_ship_scanner.gif]] Ship Scanner <br>

-Nosferatu and Neutralizer
-[[File:cuesnosnneut.JPG]]
+=== Jump Portal ===
-The leftmost picture shows an active Nosferatu. There is a red beam pointing towards the target with a shifting and spiraling red cyclone.
+Jump portals can be generated only by Black-Ops and Titan class ships.
-The rightmost picture shows the Neutralizer. The blue and pink beams shift, strobe and move violently when the module is active.
+[[File:visual2017_jump_portal.gif]] Jump Portal is active  <br>
-----
+[[File:visual2017_jump_portal_stop.png]] How actually '''YOU''' will see when Jump Portal is active (most of the times, since animation is HUGE) <br>
-Warp Scrambler and Webifier
-[[File:cuesscramandweb.JPG]]
+=== Jump Drive ===
-This Picture illustrates the warp scrambler and the webifier in action.
+Black-Ops battleships, Jump Freighters and Capital-sized ships are capable of traveling to remote solar systems without the use of Jump-Gates. <br>
+All they need is Cynosural Field they can lock on to.
-The warp scrambler is seen on the left with the very faint blue cone extending from the ship towards the can.
+[[File:visual2017_jump_drive_blobs.gif]] Black-Ops Jump Drive activation  <br>
-The weibifier is seen as a small and faint star-burst effect around the targeted object.

+=== Triage ===
-Electronic Counter Measures
+Apostle entering Triage Mode
-[[File:cuesEcm.JPG]]
+[[File:visual2017_triage.gif]]
-Seen here, clockwise from left, is the ECCM, target painter and tracking disruptor.
+== Notes  ==
-ECCM is characterized by a blue wave effect coming from the ship as if water.
+This guide has omitted some information due to its inaccessibility to the author. Please feel free to correct any mistakes, add more information or edit this list of graphical ship effects which were not included and need to be added in the future.
-Target painters are seen as bright red beams between the ship and its target.
+LoTTD:
-The tracking disruptor, sensor dampeners and remote sensor boosters all share the same effect. A faint blue wave emanates from the user and extends towards the target.
+*Regular Bombs
+*Bastion Mode on Marauders and Dreadnoughts
+*Entropic Disintegrator
+*Vorton Projector
+*Mutadaptive Remote Armor Repairer(?)
