* '''Yellow-boxing'''. "Yellow-boxing" means that an enemy is targeting your ship. This is indicated in your Overview by a flashing yellow highlight on the ship icon of the enemy/enemies that are targeting you, but have not yet taken aggressive action. For new players, this is one of the most important things to ensure you are watching for. If you are being targeted, you are going to be attacked soon. Should you get yellow-boxed, immediately align your ship to a celestial, such as an NPC station. Aligning your ship will allow you enter warp to that celestial faster in case you end up needing to. You may continue on in the fight unless you become red-boxed. | * '''Yellow-boxing'''. "Yellow-boxing" means that an enemy is targeting your ship.
