− | The '''overview''' is one of the most essential components of EVE's user interface, and is the primary means of viewing items in space. It is a customizable list of interactive entries, and can assist players with virtually every activity performed in space. Though it can be time-consuming to configure, the flexibility and effectiveness of a properly-configured overview justify the time spent.

| | | |
− | The primary weakness of the overview is that it is not in any way intelligent, so it is unable to anticipate a player's informational needs, nor can it alter its own configuration without player input. Because of this, the consequences of not setting up your overview properly could range from not being able to see a war target and subsequently getting destroyed, to firing on an ally because they appeared as a hostile, to being destroyed by NPC pirates that didn’t show up on the overview. The overview can be configured with multiple tabs and presets to allow easy access to multiple views and configurations.

− | Pilots should routinely review their overview set-up to ensure it's current, especially when Updates have been released. On occasion new entities get added to the game and are placed in new overview categories and are thus invisible in all old overviews. Also, some updates and patches may bring other changes to how the Overview works.

| |
| | | |
− | Objects in the overview can be interacted by right clicking them and selecting the appropriate action. Alternatively the object can be clicked for long time to open the radial menu.
| |
| | | |
− | But in many situations you may want to use shortcuts for faster actions.

| | | |
− | Simply hold the action shortcut key down and click the object in overview or in space. Alternatively you can first select the object and then click the shortcut key. For example to target an object jsut hold {{button|CTRL}} and click the object you want to target or select the object in yoru overview and then press {{button|CTRL}}.

− | While any of the shortcuts is being pressed the overview will be frozen to prevent items from shuffling around based on the sorting order. While the overview is frozen all new items that appear on the overview will be added at the bottom of the list, and items that disappear from the grid will be shown in a faded text. <br>

− | === Assigning the Tabs and Brackets ===
| |
| | | |
− | '' You may have up to 8 active tabs to assign Overview presets to.''
| |
| | | |
| | | |
− | #Go to the '''Overview tabs tab''' .
| |
− | #Under the '''Tab name''' column , enter the following minimum recommended five items:
| |
− | #*'''PvP'''
| |
− | #*'''PvP Travel'''
| |
− | #*'''Situational''', '''Missions''', '''Mining''' or '''Wormhole''' ''(choose whichever one you use, and up three tabs used)''
| |
− | #*'''Fleet'''
| |
− | #*'''Pod Saver'''
| |
− | #Under the '''Overview profile column''' , assign each tab its respective overview profile, i.e. assign '''2 - PvP Travel''' to the '''PvP Travel tab''' and so on.
| |
− | #Under bracket profiles, do the same ( '''2 - PvP Travel''' to '''PvP Travel tab''' and so on), '''unless you want to set your bracket profiles to something different''' . If you have set up bracket profiles as per the previous section, assign them here (eg. assign '''6 - Wormhole B''' as a bracket profile for '''6 - Wormhole''' ).
| |
− | #Click '''Apply''' at the bottom of the window.
| |
| | | |
− | You should now have five to eight different tabs with different overview presets, that you can switch-out as needed. During war, you can switch the Missions/ Mining tab to the '''PvP Travel without neutrals''' configuration. This tab can be used if you need to fight in a trade hub that has a lot of neutrals cluttering the overview. However, be warned that you cannot see neutral remote reppers if you use this tab, so it is often preferable to fight with the pvp travel tab and sort by alliance name with the arrow pointing down (or corp name if the war targets are not in an alliance).

| | | |
− | You can make a variant of the PvP Travel preset that also shows pilots in good standing to the Uni. Check '''Pilot is in your corporation''', '''Pilot is in your alliance''', '''Pilot has excellent standing''', '''Pilot has good standing'''.

− | This can be helpful to see what kind of friendlies are flying around. This will not show fleetmates. Fleetmates that disconnect from the game will appear on your overview while they warp off, which makes noticing them easier.
| |
| | | |
− | Adding blues to your overview will show criminally flagged blues, like pirates we have a non-aggression pact (NAP) with. If you show blues, you must be very careful to check icons of outlaws so that you do not shoot blue pirates.

− | === PvP Travel + Planets ===
| |
| | | |
− | Having the planets on overview can sometimes be useful. This can let you see which planets are in d-scan range (approx 14.35 AU). Sometimes used by lowsec PvP fleets to see where the ships on d-scan could be located.

− | EVE isn’t a very system-intensive game, and some people have computers that can easily handle the game on max settings. If your system can handle it, you can select '''show all brackets''' in the overview options for each tab. This will let you see friendly and hostile ship brackets on the field as well as neutrals and drones. Having all brackets turned on can help you identify an on-grid fleetmate to use as a warp-in. Many players fly with all brackets turned on, and it is recommended to do so if your system can handle it. Zooming out the camera with all brackets turned on will give you a good view of what's happening on the battlefield.

| | | |
− | In very large fleet fights, it is inadvisable to have brackets turned on, as this will cause server-side lag when there are hundreds of players shooting at each other in the same system. Most nullsec corps will have instructions for their members on how to minimize lag during large encounters.

− | == Tagging ==
| |
| | | |
− | The Tag feature allows you to assign a number or letter to individual ships or objects in space which will be visible in the Tag column of the overview. The tag will remain assigned to the object until it is destroyed, you dock in a station, or enter a jump gate. This is useful for marking trigger ships during missions, marking trigger ships and kill order in wormhole sleeper sites, prioritizing PvP targets, marking NPC convoy ships for attack (see [http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Guide:Attacking_Convoys EVE Wiki Attacking Convoys Guide] for more details), or any other activity for which you may need to quickly identify specific objects for a fleet. Only a fleet member in a command position can mark tags.
| |
| | | |
− | === Tagging Process ===
| |
| | | |
− | The Tag option is only available while you are a member of a fleet, and in a command role (i.e. FC, WC, or SC). If you are alone, you may simply form a fleet with yourself (your default role with be FC).
| |
| | | |
− | To tag an object, simply right-click, select "Tag" from the context menu, and you will be given a choice of numbers or letters. Pick the number or letter you wish to use and you are done.

− | 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 :

| + | !Description |
| + | |- |
| | | |
− | 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.
